My coworker told me I was the only person she knew who could wear this outfit and not look like her grandma.

Compliment: Accepted.

I guess I must have pulled off looking young and fun in this, because I wore it to a networking event after work and multiple men introduced themselves to me. But that could also have been because I forgot to put my wedding ring back on after my shower that morning. So single ladies, take note: Dudes like women who dress like grandmas, apparently. Not sure if that’s cute or creepy, but try it out this weekend and let me know how it goes.

Can we talk about the conspiracy that is jean shorts? Everyone acts like they’re a cool, laid-back, casual summer staple. HOWEVER. #1, they’re even harder to shop for than regular jeans. And #2, if you find a flattering pair, they’re horribly uncomfortable to sit in. After a few minutes in the car, I feel like I might be cheating on my spouse. (If you’re reading this honey, I obviously wouldn’t do that. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t even live around here.) I hadn’t worn my jorts for 7 months, so I forgot they’re better for days when you’re mostly standing or walking in hot weather. Hashtag Midwest problems.

Pretty cute though, right?
