I have been getting a lot of requests for outfits with shorts from Southern gals trying to beat the heat.  So, this is for my preppy ladies in the Dirty Dirty*!  Below are three outfits featuring plus size aqua shorts.  I chose the Bermuda length (12″), but the shorts are also available in a 7-inch length, here.  You can also find a similar teal color in a 10-inch version.

*For those unfamiliar, the “Dirty Dirty” or “Dirty South” is slang for Atlanta and the whole South Eastern region of the U.S.  I hear this frequently in Southern Hip Hop.  It’s really a term of endearment that you might hear from Southern rappers, such as Outkast or UGK.

I’m going to do a color theory review post soon.  But I hope everyone is thinking about color relationships and consulting the color wheel when putting together outfits.  This first outfit features analogous colors, blue-green and blue, which have a complementary relationship with the tan accessories (tan is orange, which is across the color wheel).  Add a cropped white cardigan, a white blazer, or even a denim jacket on cooler evenings.

This second look is really just about picking up the colors from the scarf, aqua and grey, and adding them to the outfit.  I did add some tan (orange/complementary relationship) for some interest.  Add a denim jacket on cooler evenings.

This last plus size aqua shorts outfit is all about the complementary relationship, aqua (blue-green) and coral/tan (red-orange and orange).  Mixing these color make them “pop” against one another.  Learn more here. And again with this outfit, add a denim jacket on cooler evenings.
