A common problem with my taste is hunting day and night for a piece, and then a month or two later stumbling upon it when I’m already over it. I was searching like hell for black sequin hot shorts for Halloween (Chanel Sailor). Patricia Field was the only viable option for $80, and I just wasn’t willing to invest that - I mean it’s clearly not a basic or classic! So, cruising through TopShop.com on a regular Tuesday night - what do I see but those god forsaken hot pants, in red no doubt - just as cute as black for my sailor costume! Regardless, I’m happy with the pair I wore (homemade), because those babies are S-H-O-R-T, but it just kills me - I’m always too early!

As this off tangent dialogue suggests - this image struck a chord - I love the harlequin hot shorts (all hot shorts) and that FUR (faux). I wish you could run around in things like this on a regular basis - we are in the WRONG decade for innovative fashion!
