This gorgeous top is supposed to be a dress. It’s one of those beachy, devil may care boho dresses. Sadly, I’m actually quite tall and don’t spend my days on a beach in a photoshoot. Why would this matter? I’m so glad you asked.
It matters because the tallness means that it’s rather short. Like, just-covers-my-butt short. Which would be fine, on a beach, with a bathing suit underneath. But my day to day is spent with my girl, or running/biking around this fair city without a bathing suit on, or in studio. That means any arms gestures, such as the one above, would have me exposing my undies to children on the playground, pedestrians and drivers on the street, and clients in a studio.
And I certainly do not want to be arrested, hooted at from trucks, or bankrupt my business.
Hence, shorts.
