So much for my shopping sabbatical. I went BONKERS yesterday and picked up a new Rag & Bone cape (oh how I l-l-love capes), Mother looker skinny jeans in cruel summer (red), and a cheapie must have H&M white button poly blouse (at $8, it’s a throwaway work shirt that I’ll need multiples of & that I don’t need to dry clean!)…
AND LEATHER SHORTS as seen above.
They were SO cute and punky that I couldn’t say no to them. I’ve already styled them in my mind with the KILLER Rodarte robot heels and a simple chunkie fisherman’s knit cream sweater. They’re from H&M (still available in size 8 and 10 on the second floor of the massive store on Powell) and at a just-don’t-eat-lunch-price of $69.95.
But I’m 30. going on 31.
And let’s be frank here cuz I always am, I don’t subscribe to the theology of shake what yo-momma-gave-you or -i-work-hard-for-this-bod-so-im-showing-it-off. I don’t think mothers or women over the age of 40—even with super jelly inducing hot bods-should be rocking booty shorts, backless hoe dresses or crop tops. There’s a reason why Vogue publishes the age issue kids - to prevent these kind of hellish eye assaults on the public. Carine would never do that. I don’t want to be Moore-than-Demi-desperate like this gal here. How sad was that video of Demi hitching up her skirt and being all slutastic at the Snoop Dogg show? Imagine the mortification of her children. Why do you think LiLo is such a Ho?
There’s a time for everything and have I passed mine to weather leather shorts?
