jean shorts in the womb.


shirt. steve and barrys. shorts. jay-jays. belt. vintage. boots. zara. socks. BF's.
everyday wear. Just about to go check out the Woolies quality sale (in need of some picture frames) and grab a mug of tea at their glorious cafe. I wore what I could wear just about anywhere + anytime. To me, it is comfortable yet chic with a little dose of me thrown in. I swear I came out of the womb wearing jean shorts, as I wear them a lot. I just don't know what it is about them?
They were historically only worn by little school boys until they reached the age of maturity and therefore were avoided by the masses for the sake of looking immature. Some still hold this view, but shorts for the most part are celebrated by all ( exception: old farmer men wearing jean shorts, with short-sleeved collared shirts tucked in. Seen in South Africa.all the time.)
Anyways. I hope you're having a wonderful August week.

My friends and I call them "jorts" -- jeans+shorts. They are pretty much a staple here -- none of this coming and going out of style. Love them!

For some reason, there is something perfect about pairing a simple dress shirt with a pair of boots. It juxtaposes nicely, and you do it effortlessly!

I find this look so inspirational because I never see people dressing like this where I live (Toronto.) The shoes really make the outfit.
