Cut-Offs

It's summer now!! As with any abrupt change of season, it's now time to re-evaluate my wardrobe. These are my three pairs of full functioning shorts:

1) A brown pair that I bought at Target many years ago in some size I never imagined I'd wear I think 15 or so. I have to say, I don't feel like a size 15 so there's either something wrong with me or the shorts. By far the best shorts, however.

2) A bright blue pair from J.Crew, purchased by my parents for me last year that are awesome and even stretchy!! But alas, they have no back pocket and so I have to keep my keys, cellphone and wallet in the dainty, small side pockets. (This problem caused me to leave my phone on a hill in a park on 420 when I was lying down.)

3) A grey pair that are kind of like trouser shorts, but the crotch area is getting a little pilly, you know? And the waist is just a little too high. They also are a little wide leggish and so I fold the bottoms up, but then it looks sloppy because you can see the seam of the hem.

So anyway, I've decided today to cut an old pair of jeans and make some shorts. The only real problem I forsee is that I might possibly have muffin-top of the thighs and that the crotch already has holes in it. But oh well, I think it's a good look because I don't usually wear tight shorts, but I do wear tight pants so the tight cut-offs will be a nice change. I will take them a few places and take photos and up them up so you all can vote on them as a summer wardrobe inclusion or reject.

On a side note, our friend Nikki has predicted that tie-dye will be back in again. In order to get in early on this trend, Sam, Kim and I will be doing a bunch of tie-dying this weekend. The results of this endeavor as summer wardrobe inclusions or rejects may also require a poll.
