A Paisley Romance

Target, you did it again. You dangled a $25 dress in front of my face and made me buy it. But come on…it’s paisley. How could I not? It’s so adorable and comfy that I wanted to wear it all day at work and into the evening (hence the change of shoes in hand). I was also thinking it will look really cute in the fall with tall socks and my equestrian style brown boots. My relationship with this dress is clearly getting pretty serious. It was love at first sight and I’m already planning for our future together. Luckily, we have a quirky meet-cute to tell everyone about: “Would you believe it, Ethel?! We met at Target!” (For some reason I imagine having this conversation over tea with an old lady named Ethel, who is also wearing paisley.)

Good news! I FINALLY got jean shorts. I am so hip now. It took me a while to find ones I liked because I’m very particular about not looking like a skank. Silly, I know. Maybe it’s my old age (28 as of yesterday, remember?) but I just don’t get the whole pockets-hanging-out-the-bottom-of-your-shorts look. It looks like your shorts shrank, but the pockets were made of some special fabric that didn’t shrink. Or like you have 10 rolls of quarters in each pocket weighing them down. Or like you were cutting your old jeans into shorts but you measured wrong and then your house caught on fire but you weren’t wearing any pants so you just had to put the shorts on and run outside and then your house burned down and destroyed all your other proper shorts so now you have no other choice than to wear your embarrassing mistake until the insurance check comes through.

Anywho, the point is: I didn’t want what I call “denim underwear” and I didn’t want mom shorts, so I was happy to find these “boyfriend shorts.” They are actually pretty long but since they’re not too tight, it’s easy to roll them up to a length that I like. Which you may notice is far below the bottom of the pockets.
