My legs are short and I'm quick to call them stumpy. That doesn't mean I don't love to show them off especially in summer. To make sure they look their absolute best while I strut my stuff (over to the playground and grocery store), I rely on these simple tricks:
1. Wear shorts or a short skirt
I prefer shorts because they're comfortable and I have the ability to show more leg without showing everything else. Extra bonus for a high waist. It further adds to the long leg illusion.
2. Add heels
Obviously, I won't be on the playground in heels but when I'm out for a girl's night out or the rare (sigh) date night, I wear heels. Even a slight wedge adds definition and shape giving the appearance of longer legs.
3. Smooth, hair-free gams
My legs are on full display given the length of my shorts and height of my heel so I have to make sure my skin looks fabulous. Fabulous for me is smooth, freshly shaven legs. Just like wearing polish on manicured nails, it's a nice way to complete the entire look.
How do you achieve Hot Legs?
I used Hot Legs Total Body Hair Removal cream. l like it because I can slather it on with my fingers. There are no other tools required. I brush my teeth. Jump in the shower and rinse the cream off. It's easy and it lasts longer than shaving. My legs stay hair-free for at least a month.

Wow.... those are some hot legs :-) I've only recently started wearing shorts I wouldn't be caught dead on those super short shorts, this short you have on are really nice. I'm thinking I'll need to add white shorts to my closet. BTW love the embroidered vest.
Your legs definitely look good! I'm terrible at shaving-I blame my Mother, she never showed me. I always end up using depilatory creams such as this. Would it work for sensitive skin?

Awesome tips, I agree that smooth silky legs are really important and I have to say you look great and I would not call your legs stubby at all. I love the Hot Legs products and I am thrilled they are on sale, making them even more affordable.
