Short Temper

I’ve changed, progress maybe? Regress perhaps? But...nonetheless I’ve changed. I purchased shorts for the first time in 8 years that I didn’t plan on expressly using for exercise. I purchased a particular style of shorts, shorts that make me a nightmare for somebody like you. I was Taken(get it?) by over the knee shorts. I know, who is this? What have they done with my boy?

I’ll pause on the movie quotes but I’m going to opine on these shorts because Jesus Christ something is so chic about a pair of over the knee relaxed fit shorts. I got a pair in denim, naturally, and two in cotton. Blue, black and light wash denim. Call me crazy but they might be the most versatile things in my closet. Cold weather? No problem but on a sweater and a tube sock. Hot weather? You know the drill cmon now. Dress it up? Throw on a blazer and call it a day.

Wear then rain boots, a slinky flip flop, sneakers, a baby tee, and oversized tee, button down, sweater, hoodie...I’m gunna lose it. They’re the most fun purchase I’ve made in forever and they don’t feel impractical. I was wearing a pair of my grandpas old oversized cargo shorts into the ground when I finally realized I need to just invest. Call it Y2K, call it Abercrombie fever, call it the ERL effect, call it charli, I do not care because I call it wonderful. If happiness is a thing called Joe, then fashion is a thing called shorts. I’ve seen the light and it is short. You get it, go thrift a pair, or dig through your family’s closets.
