big linen shorts
despite thinking of myself as a person who prioritizes comfort in the clothes i wear, it look me a long time to get some truly comfortable shorts. i spent too much of last summer either sweating in my regular jeans or squirming into some ill-fitting shorts. i don't really enjoy shopping, so i put off the purchase for as long as i could, but i knew i had to do something before my trip to singapore.1 a few weeks ago, i dragged myself to the local outlet, and found exactly what i needed. they're linen, high-waisted with a few little pleats, and have a zipper fly with a button closure. there's a little bit of elastic in the back of the waist, and they're loose-fitting around the hips and thighs. they're perfect. when i put them on, i feel capable of running around in the sun all day. i like shorts! they're comfy and easy to wear!2
