I have pale white "chicken legs", with a pot belly. My figure was not made for shorts, as the waist is always tight and the legs loose. I bring stretch & cotton capris, and sundresses. I have not mastered the shoe combo yet, as I found comfy Nile Air sneakers for my capris, but no nice sandals that compliment my Disney sundresses while remaining easy to walk miles in. If anyone finds a really nice looking sandal that is heaven to walk in, I'm in for a size 8.5!
