I'm a curvy girl, UK size 16 and was wondering if I'm too big to wear shorts on top of leggings. It looks good on other people just not sure if I have the figure to pull it off!

I think it depends really more on your height than anything and where the leggings and shorts are hitting and fit. If they are loosely fitted tailored shorts y not where the legging capris or even a patterned legging tight. If you are on the stouter end of the spectrum than you would really need to try various looks on because it could make fuller legs look bigger.
