Update: Shorts, and Why You Should Buy this Pair Right Here

These are awesome shorts. If you are a faithful reader, you know that I freaking hate shorts, and have coddled this hate for a long time. These shorts are enough to bring me out of it. I bought these on Friday while on a trip to Old Navy with the fam. I didn't bother trying them on, which breaks all matter of fashion rules, but I figured I could take them back if I needed to. Or I could just punish myself for looking horrible in them by cutting myself and listening to Fall Out Boy until I lost feeling in my hateful, deformed legs. Either/or. It's a good thing I didn't have to do that because a) I hate Fall Out Boy and b) Cutting doesn't sound that fun either. I'm telling you: these shorts are GREAT. I wore them on Saturday even though it was teeth chatteringly cold because I happened to try them on and my husband looked at me with this look he once gave me when we went to the prom and we were both 15 (he skipped a grade in school) and I had picked out a dress that was cut almost down to my navel (looking back at the pictures, I look like an extra from an old episode of Law and Order: SVU about child porn, but I thought I looked sogrownup! OMG!!!). His eyes got freaking huge. And he goes, "Your outfit looks really good today." Now, for my husband to comment on my outfit, either hell has frozen over or I look damn good. Usually the only comments he makes are about how much something I am wearing costs, and he had already given me looks of derision when I bought the shorts the night before. So I was so tickled, I just kept them on all day. They are so comfortable, and did I mention that I am hot in them?

I also love that they are camo and just a little butch. I felt all GI Jane in them. I paired them with a fitted American Apparel t-shirt and J.Crew wedge flip flops to sweeten up the package. God, I can't believe I said "sweeten the package."

Well, anyway, I'm happy, and I have new shorts, and I love them so much that I did laundry on Saturday night just so I could see them in my closet again within a day. If something can inspire me to do laundry, it's worth its weight in gold.

Go get your own pair at Old Navy. They're $26.50 which is a small price to pay for utopia.
