One time this guy in high school, Steve, commented that I had thunder thighs.
I was wearing a maxi skirt that was fairly loose but when I walked you could see the outline of my legs.
He said, "Whoa. Those are thunder thighs."
(He obviously had no game, nor any understanding of the awesomeness of dancer legs.)
I hate to admit it, but it took me years before I wore that skirt again.
(It's plain black, so in my opinion it never went out of style, haha!)

| I just like my hair in this picture. Love random gusts of wind. |
On Wednesday, I tried on this pencil skirt at Forever 21 and I thought about Steve and that comment.
I immediately said to myself,
"Bring it, thighs! Bring it!"
Then I realized after taking these photos that pencil skirts totally highlight toned calves.
Another reason why I am an avid midi length type of gal.
Show a little, and you show a lot.
Hooray for muscles!
Feel free to tell me how awesome your legs are!

Hi from Oslo:)
I am at the gym trying to tone up for summer so I do not see the problem:)
Being tight looks a whole lot better anyway...so be proud:)
Have a great day...
What a jerk that kid was! High school boys are clueless and they don't realize the damage the do to young impressionable girls. No thunder thighs at all... toned muscles is what I see in these photos. We should all be so lucky! Your beautiful. xo
Ah, you have dancers legs my lovely. Mine are terribly thin for a dancer. Share some of those muscles will you;-)
Your legs are beautiful!
Greatly dancer legs!
Mine is smaller.. Perhaps it's not suitable for dancing :D
Anyway, I love your skirt color. It looks pretty on you

Oh! How I miss my ballerina legs. You've got some sweet legs, friend! Go you!
You're legs are awesome and totally enviable!
It's funny how you remember stupid comments people make over your life. A highschool boyfriend once commented that my thighs where the same size as his and it totally scarred me back then.
But who cares, right?! You look amazing in that pencil skirt : )
One day in middle school I was sitting in the back seat of the bus next to this kid Todd from my neighborhood. The bus made a jerk and I had to catch myself with my legs. He saw the definition in my soccer-player thighs and started poking at it and said "damn, those are all muscle." Being a short stocky little girl I was pumped that someone as cool as Todd knew that I didn't just have massive fat thighs. Hah!
Needless to say, that got me through a few body image issues for the next few years.
1. what kind of guy says something like that?!
2. Again, you're just gorgeous.
He said whaaat?! He's a Weirdo, sorry for judging , but that the statement of a fact. My first impression when I opened your blog before i even read anything - WOW! Look at Tif's legs! Calfs AND thighs! I think you look VERY beautiful. Absolutely stunning! You can see your rock hard marble-like body even in the pictures. I bet he was just jealous. :)
You have a great legs! And cute skirt!
First...seriously, how clueless could someone be to say that to another person? And a female at that! Seriously!
Second...I think that dancer's legs are beautiful - toned, strong, and empowering. Yours are gorgeous; and I LOVE the way that skirt shows off your toned calves. :)
I love showing off my legs too! :)
Steve obviously doesn't know legs. Yours are strong and beautiful!
rolala loves
OMG I can't believe this post for two reasons! Firstly, a boy classmate called me thunder thighs when I was in grade school and it's stuck with me ever since. I actually hate to wear shorts to this day because I hear him calling me that in the back of my mind. Secondly I bought that same color pencil skirt :)
Have a great weekend! xoxo
Mine have nothing on yours, I'd love to be able to develop some muscle on mine, I try really hard but nop!
You have AMAZING legs! Inspirational! x
i like my legs too... they are not that long but they have a great shape... happy weekend!
BTW... he's so cute and crossing my fingers!!
I was called that too! Ugh, teenage boys. As the mom of a boy, I would die if someday my sweet boy said something hurtful to a woman - about her body, or anything else for that matter!
But I digress...You look AMAZING! Seriously gorgeous! And I agree that a midi skirt is more alluring than a mini any day. Forever 21? I may have to re-consider shopping there (last time I was there, I felt capital O Old!)
Clearly that guy was a moron, because you look INCREDIBLE in this outfit! I'm sure you look great in the black skirt as well! : )
You are awesome....that high school kid was an idiot.
You look stunning! and I love the outfit too, great colours.
See you soon.
xoxox
Is this the skirt that you told me about in your comment? It's rocking on you! That guy clearly didn't true beauty, I feel sorry for him.
You have shapely legs and I think they're gorgeous, I'd kill to have legs that look like yours!
You have gorgeous legs!!! That boy had no idea what he was talking about, obviously. You make me want to do squats!!!
Thunder thighs?!?!? Ha ha... Thunder body! (now don't kill me :) You look beautiful, Tiffany!
Steve can suck it! Amazingly beautiful pictures!
He must have been crazy to say that you have thunder thighs!! I think he either didn't know what the term meant or just felt like being rude. Anyway, you look amazing!
Mrs Branflakes. I coached you back when you were in high school. You were toned and fit then and you are toned and fit now. Rock your skirts!
What a looser.. why do people have to make those comments. I just don't get it. You look so pretty and I love that skirt on you :)
whata twit. if you have thunder thighs then we are all doomed!
Looking great ;) See you!
for one, you do NOT have thunder thighs, haha!
I like so much your personal style.
We have matching calves :) I think your legs are SEXY!
you look SOO amazing girl! hot hot legs!! love the colors of your outfit!!
Funny how these things stick with us... I was thinking just the other day of a guy I knew in high school who said I had 'fat legs' (I did karate and ballet so yes I had muscles in high school)...
Anyhoo, yeah for you! And you're making me want to try a pencil skirt now, never been brave enough to wear one before!
my legs aren't awesome at all ;( but yours are and you look great in these shots. completely sending me to the gym !!
That skirt looks great! :)
muscles are nothing to be ashamed of.
you do not have thunder thighs!! You have an awesome muscular shape!
Your legs are just the sort I want - toned and graceful!
Hooray for muscles, INDEED! I totally admit my absolute pride that dancers have the best legs in the land, so suck it Steve!!
xoxo J
So apparently, my calves are quite muscular. I used to just see them as giant, until a masseuse who worked on me raved about them. It's not every day another woman tells you how awesome your calves are. It was kind of a turning point for me. I've never had skinny legs and I love that they're muscular the way they are. Your legs are gorgeous -- I'm glad you're embracing them.
thunder thighs?!?!? no way!!! you do not. your legs are excellent.
if steve the jerk wants to see some massive sequoia thighs, send him my way. and i dare him to say anything, because i will karate chop his dumb ass!
You work those legs!
High school boys say THE LAMEST things!
I know we all know it but it's got to be said Boys are Stupid. I've played sports my whole life and have muscled legs. All I gotta say is work it girl. This is a really cute outfit.
i want your legs lol
