At least in D.C., the fashion trend for the past few years has been very short shorts.
The problem is that with my “pandemic 15,” the short-shorts tend to make me look like a fat baby. However, now every time I try to wear what used to be normal-length shorts, I feel like I’m dressing like the lead singer of a late-90s rock band.
I may be old, but these biscuits are not definitely limp, so, fat baby look it is. 👶
After nearly a decade, I finally purchased new pairs of Vibram FiveFinger Shoes. My toeshoes inspire horror and side-eye from my friends, but they are my new go-to for dog walks. The only downside is that the mesh coverings make Vibrams unwearable if it’s wet outside, which is quite often given the weather this summer.
This is one of the few pairs of shoes that I’ve actually worn into the ground. I had to get new pairs because my original Vibrams had holes in them toward the end. The new shoes are still fresh, but will they probably not last another 10 years given how much I’m wearing them, but we’ll see. 👠
I am at the Tumi store politely listening to a salesman list features of various messenger bags and briefcases.
Several bags are too bulky for my tastes. Others look like “old man briefcases.” Some look like purses.
One of the messenger bags has most of the features that I want. The salesman tells me it’s $500. I quickly leave the store.
My search for a professional laptop bag is in its fourth hour and I feel ridiculous. My previous bags from Tumi and Kenneth Cole are worn and ratty from years of abuse, but everything nice is out of my price range. I finally turn to Amazon.
One of the first things that I noticed on the Washington D.C. subway (besides the terrible air conditioning) was a man wearing a hat with a “W” on it.
I figured he worked for Walgreens.
…and what a Memorial Day Weekend we had…
