00:46 shorts and spring sweaters why am i 00:49 doing this 00:50 i don't know about you but spring is a 00:53 tease 00:53 spring is a teaser season to me it's 00:56 going to give you a 75 degree day 00:58 and then it's going to give you a 35 01:00 degree day right behind it if you live 01:02 across the midwest 01:03 and most of the country so i love spring 01:06 sweaters because 01:07 this is going to live in your closet for 01:09 the next 10 12 weeks be a great 01:12 go-to and it's just an easy way i think 01:14 to get a cozy layer on top 01:16 start to edge out of your jackets but 01:19 then 01:20 as the season gets a little warmer 01:22 getting back into your shorts 01:24 i want to talk to you about shorts today 01:26 specifically for the curvy girls out 01:27 there 01:28 i'm going to be honest shorts are not my 01:30 favorite but they are a necessity it's 01:32 going to get warm enough in the summer 01:33 season that you've got to have them 01:35 um and i've i'm hearing that when i step 01:37 into my confidence 01:39 and step out of my comfort or find 01:41 confidence out of my comfort zone 01:43 that it helps you as well and so i want 01:45 curvy gals to see the shorts that we 01:47 have to offer today because they 01:48 are fantastic okay let's talk sweaters 01:52 first 01:52 i'm going to show you all sweaters 01:55 exclusive to every 01:56 under 100 this one is the izzy pullover 01:59 it's 88 it is just a beautiful knit it 02:03 feels wonderful on 02:04 a little bit of a gather at the sleeve 02:06 you know how i love a deep v 02:08 i didn't do any i didn't do any jewelry 02:10 i really kind of like this open 02:12 um with the neon yellow and i would do 02:15 i would just do like a little front tuck 02:17 with this i would definitely kind of 02:19 pull up the sleeves a little bit 02:20 if the weather is on your side and then 02:24 you can kind of see in the back i'll 02:26 just leave it on top what i have on for 02:28 our short is the parker short so parker 02:31 short by a gold e if you haven't tried 02:33 this yet this is the long 02:35 so it's a little bit longer which for me 02:37 that's my go-to with shorts 02:39 panna cotta is the color i don't know 02:42 give it a google 02:43 maybe it means a shade of white and 02:44 italian not certain but when you go to 02:46 find this in store 02:48 or on web panna cotta is the color this 02:50 really fits true to size but i'll tell 02:52 you 02:52 um i'm in a 31 so that's up a size 02:55 larger than i would normally take 02:57 i just i like the room in my shorts i 02:59 like them to feel 03:00 a little bit more boyfriend style it's 03:02 my comfort level uh 03:04 just depends on you you do you i carry 03:06 my weight in my rear and in my thighs so 03:08 i like to size up in shorts 03:09 if that's not where you carry your 03:10 weight go true to size um i have this on 03:13 just paired back to a freedom moses i 03:15 talk to you about these sandals 03:16 i am in love fifty dollars this is a 03:18 really fun 03:19 cow print which i think is great off of 03:22 the neon 03:23 um all hundred percent sustainable 03:25 materials 03:26 faux over the top easy throw on flip 03:29 flop 03:30 for the summer season okay that was look 03:32 number one let me get on number two for 03:34 you 03:34 okay oh i wonder if you're having a day 03:37 like me so this is look number two but 03:39 it's really take 03:40 three on my phone because i'm shooting 03:42 in slo-mo and i don't know it until i go 03:44 to like watch it making sure everything 03:46 looks okay on wow 03:47 super super slow and i'm like oh why did 03:50 that take me two shots to realize it 03:52 okay 03:53 just sharing that story in case you're 03:54 having a day i hear you 03:56 uh let's go back to clothes and a whole 03:58 lot and brighten your day for you 04:00 okay so uh more sweaters right so 04:03 this is the renee stripe pullover 04:05 sweater the stripe kind of comes from 04:07 this eyelet pattern so this is 04:09 open little open weave here which i i 04:12 love 04:12 um white just a bright white headed into 04:15 spring 04:16 in a sweater and i also love this open 04:18 eye light eyelet because it just gives 04:20 you that transition into warmer weather 04:22 um definitely have to think about where 04:23 you're wearing underneath 04:25 so i just threw on michael starr's boat 04:27 neck it's a 04:29 it's a lot of coverage though so if 04:30 you've got something in your wardrobe 04:32 like a little spaghetti strap the 04:33 built-in little shelf bra something like 04:35 that would be 04:36 perfection and much more feminine than 04:38 this look but 04:39 making it work um also back to shorts so 04:42 kept on 04:43 um this is the parker a goldie just a 04:46 different color so this is swap meet 04:48 so if you're looking for that kind of 04:49 traditional just like lighter wash going 04:51 into the spring season this is perfect 04:54 again this length is the long so it gets 04:56 you a little bit more length on your 04:58 thigh 04:58 and then i i was kind of thinking when i 05:00 put on this outfit like out to brunch 05:02 maybe with your girlfriends with your 05:04 family 05:04 and so i put on a clog i also think if 05:08 you're 05:08 a curvy gal getting a little bit of heel 05:10 on with your shorts i think makes me 05:12 feel 05:12 a little bit longer a little leaner this 05:14 one unfortunately is online exclusive 05:17 um please go buy her because i would 05:19 love to have this in stores but this is 05:21 has been um nice job catherine i love 05:24 this 05:24 and i love the idea of a little clog 05:26 mule going into the spring season so 05:29 this would be my brunch look however i 05:32 think it would be really easy to leave 05:33 brunch and then go 05:34 head off and do your errands for the day 05:36 and just take this a little bit more 05:38 casual so what i would do 05:40 let me grab is i would pop on a little 05:43 bum bag if you have not picked one of 05:44 these up yet 05:46 once i picked it up i have not taken it 05:49 off now
