What I don't love, is the thigh friction that goes with wearing a skirt. Ouch to thigh chafing! This is the reason why I love to wear tunics and leggings. Secret spilled how I avoid chub-rub during winter. With the aim of showing more leg this summer, I want to wear skirts more often.
Sunday I returned from a weekend away. I spent a glorious 3 nights at Mantra on Salt near the QLD/NSW border in Kingscliff. By the time I arrived at the Sunshine Coast airport I could feel a slight burn between my legs. No, there was nothing passionate about that sting. As soon as I arrived at the Mantra room I slipped on a pair of Easy Breezy shorts that Virtu sent me to trial.
On first impressions the material is thick. I also wondered if I would need them to be shorter. I liked the soft feel of the cotton (95%). After a weekend of wearing them, what is the verdict?
I love them! Majority of the time I forgot I even had them on. I asked my husband did he ever notice them. He said only when we were on the beach and the wind caught my dress (it was reeeeally windy all weekend). Sorry I didn't think to flash the shorts for the camera.

I Love bright skirts too. These are lovely photos
ReplyDeleteThanks, the photos were a challenge. Lots of wind, sand and water. Both the bottom of my skirt got wet, along with my camera bag. Thankfully it is water proof and the zip was closed.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Jeanie! That skirt is a great length for you. I hear you on the chub-rub...thank goodness for spanx. Beautiful location for photos this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. The skirt has a black band, I tucked that back to hide it under the white shirt. It also made the skirt a bit shorter for me. I often find myself pulling my skirts up higher than my waist line LOL.
Deleteoh your nail colour was the perfect contrast to your skirt colour. I ALWAYS wear tights underneath....my Momma said I must never wear a skirt without it. Lol that has stuck with me since I was a little girl...but I love the freedom they provide. I don't have to be extra careful not to flash and I can jump over seats and climb around without any worries.
ReplyDeleteMore skirts, more skirts!!!!
xo mele
Thanks, yes the nail colour is great. It's my fav colour at the moment =)
DeleteThat was one thing I found with those shorts. When climbing over seats I knew some flashing was unavoidable, the shorts made me less paranoid.
that beach looks glorious.. and so do you! love the bright colour of that skirt :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Omega. The beach was awesome, best of all it was fairly quiet on the Friday arvo when I took these. Not many people about. I didn't feel so silly with my tripod and remote. By the end of this I was over sand LOL. I seemed to have carted a heap of it back with me to the room.
DeleteGorgeous Jeanie! Sitting around at home in some breezy shorts at this very second. Great under pencil skirts especially. Love this skirt on you and that white top is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the beach. I LOVE the beach. Might have to schedule in a day trip sometime soon.
Thanks Melissa. My breezy shorts are now in the wash. They'll be worn often. I love the pattern along the bottom of the top, that little extra peek of colour is cute. The beach, whilst I loved it, was over the sand. Sooo much sand. LOL. Not complaining, I loved it.
Deletebeautiful and bright Jeanie!! love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the bold colours, and the white that evens it all out.
DeleteLovely colour combo, I love the cut out design on the bottom of the skirt. I'm right there with you on thigh chafing, I always wear bike pants under my skirts and dresses.
ReplyDeleteWoops I meant cut out design on the bottom of the shirt.
ReplyDeleteLOL Knew what you meant. Thanks Bek, yes the top is pretty. I'm loving the cut out pattern too.
Deletei would love to wear this look. you look amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, this outfit was perfect for strolling on the beach to lunch in the bar with friends.
DeleteI'm needing to buy a few new skirts for this summer, I really adore the skirt you have on. Shorts are great to beat chub rub, I love that Virtu have released some, shall have to check them out! xo
ReplyDeleteYeah that issue has been something I either put up with, or wore leggings. So glad to know there is the option to avoid it. The skirt I'm wear has a lovely texture to it. I love material that also feels nice to touch.
DeleteOh wow, these pics make me wanna haul my arse to the beach: just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to explore some Victorian beaches this summer. There's something so calming and wonderful about sand and water.
DeleteLove you in the colour. Colours are your friend Jeanie, you look gorgeous as always.
ReplyDeleteI've recently bought a couple of straight skirts, thanks to the courage building by you Aussie Curves beauties, but with no photographer my new white skirt featured. Thank You too for your lovely comments Jeanie;)
Can't wait to see the new skirts on your blog Cherie. Can you believe I used to be scared of wearing colour! That feels like another life, I wear it all the time now and love it.
DeleteOhhhh I'm going to have to give those shorts a go!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Jeanie- you have fabulous legs! Go shorter I say! ;)
Thanks Olivia. You know I already pull some of those skirts up quite high. I might need a tailor. Yes I recommend the shorts, give them a go.
DeleteThose colours look so great on you Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samara. Yes the colour does work for me. Yay =)
