In case y’all missed it, I had a groovy set of quotes in the Wall Street Journal earlier this spring on the subject of leather shorts. You’re right in finding that kind of hilarious—the WSJ and leather drawers. But I suppose my preferences for knickers doesn’t stop there. I’m glad (and sad) that I removed one line from the above Q&A at ShopBop—conducted by my favorite ShopBop master curator of cool, Amie. She asked for 5 reasons why she should go for shorts rather than skirts and dresses and one original was:
You can sing Ron Burgundy’s “Scotch, scotch, scotch” song, but substitute the word “shorts” for “scotch.” Shorts, shorts, shorts—I love shorts!
Other than that, have you figured out yet that I’m totally obsessed with shorts? A man in our elevator the other day was looking at me funny, then said, “I hope we get the weather that you’re dressed for,” to which I replied, “Toughen up. Once it’s over 45, I’m in shorts. And I’m from Florida.”
Wimpy Yankees! Hope you like the Q&A. If you haven’t yet, check out all the What Goes Around Comes Around stuff they’ve got right now. I just bought an amazing pair of tribal print pants I’ll be wearing all summer.

They turned to the perfect person! 😉 Very cool!
haha i love it.
i totally want the pair your wearing in the photo. they look worn in and baggy – which is why, as a Floridian resident, i need them.

Hey chickadee— they are True Relig (still on SB, I think) but I got them literally 3 sizes too big because they looked like daisy dukes, and I belt them really low (or they fall off) which adds to the baggyness. My favorite shorts! 🙂
Florida in the hizzy
i love shorts! and weirdly enough, i kind of hate jeans…maybe it’s because shorts constrict your leg less? who knows but they’re all fantastic. love your shopbop feature!
YES! I feel the same way. I get sort of claustrophobic in jeans. I’d always rather have a chill than be sweating, and I associate jeans with major swamp ass. Hah.
LOVE THIS! so superfantastic! you sold me on the magic of the caftan and now it’s happening again with shorts. i completely agree about how claustrophobic jeans can make you feel, and often find myself ripping them off after a night out and hurling them across the room angrily. “take that stupid super tight jeans!!” (we often make up, but takes at least a day).
AND, quoting anchor man = one of (what i feel is) my most charming* habits. i am ron burgundy???

*others may beg to differ.
you rock it. hard.
A++++ for purchasing the tribal pants! Been eyeballing those guys since they were featured in the Bohemian Shop Style. I can’t wait to see pics of how you style them!!!!
So I tried to wear them a few times and totally failed. I went with posting one attempt, but think I know how to make it better in the future. Now all I need is a Jerry Garcia beard and a potter’s wheel. 😉
I’m so singing “shorts, shorts, shorts” right now. Love it!
