Happy Valentine's Day! I received my best Valentine's Day gift to date from my bff out in California. This mobile photo gem of "LA hipster jorts". It is clear that this gentleman took the time to craft these himself, showing his true dedication to his atrocious sense of fashion. Also indicating that before the jorts, he rocked some severely skinny man jeans.

Oh, beerfestival..

In honor of seeing my beerfest partners this past weekend, I dug through the archives for the jorts photos that we took while happily drinking our way through 150 breweries in June. Personally, I like the faded look. These bad boys make me nervous that they're going to disintegrate and fall away at any second. Cheers, gov'nor!

Conundrum...

Major moral dilemma- currently, I am babysitting for a family in the neighborhood a few afternoons per week while I look for a job. The fam is kind of quirky, but super nice. Both parents are lawyers, but the Dad often works from home in the afternoons while I watch their son. The last two afternoons he's been home, he's been walking around wearing... JORTS.

And they're bad. I mean, if I passed him in the mall, I would take a million cell phone photos, but I can't because a) I'd like to keep the only form of income that I have and b) I would look like a total creeper taking pics as he gets the milk out of the fridge. It takes every once of self control that I have not to fall down in hysterics. What's a girl to do?

Compliments of a sorority sister of mine, this lovely lady was found in Hilton Head, SC. Now, I rarely target women when I go jorts huntin' because I'm really not opposed to jean shorts for girls. Done well, they can look cute!

These are neither done well, nor are they cute. Also, is she doing knee-ups down a boardwalk?

Another gem found during wedding preparations in OBX. His shorts are jean, his hems are cuffed and, yes, his legs are indeed clean-shaven. Maybe he should take a lesson in being a man from another member of his quartet?

Things that are unsettling in this picture: 

1. Length- below the knee? C'mon! These are approx 2 inches shorts of the elusive japri
2. Whitewashing- a trend that I never really understood in the first place. Why would you want to look like you just sat on a freshly painted park bench, or slid across a just bleached floor?  
3. Pleated pocket- i feel like that would be slightly uncomfortable to sit on.  

This action shot is compliments of my BFF, who captured this while on vacay in OBX.  What makes this more puzzling is why this jorter is running into Brew-Thru, a drive through beer distributor.  Oh, and the skinny nature of the jorts paired with cuffing.  Almost forgot about that.
