I'll admit it, these shorts make me feel really cool. When I wear them, I feel like a sort of rebel, cruelty-free advocating, biker chick. Obviously not everyone shares that notion, for when I held them up to my mom in the store she sort of guffawed until she realized, from the earnest expression of joy on my face, that I was in fact not kidding. I tried my best to tone them down for work, in all of their rebel glory, with a classic button down and penny loafer, but it seems that their synthetic leather charm is simply irresistible. I was ringing up a customer, a middle aged man and his wife to be exact, when the aforementioned man leaned over the counter and said "I really like your leather shorts," with a grin that made me almost as uncomfortable as his comment. I still don't know what to make of the situation. But will I stop wearing these shorts? Absolutely not. Maybe just not to work.
