Old becomes new.

The warm(er) weather today reminded me that I refuse to sweat my ass of in Jeans again this summer. 3 pairs of khakis that I never wear + scissors + 10 minutes = Instant Shorts. Laugh if you want Ralph Lauren charges 60 bucks for cut off shorts. But that's beside the point since I'm going to have them hemmed anyway.

I, actually, did this a few weeks ago, but a new development has made me come back to them. I found some Nantucket Reds on sale at Old Navy. They were cheap, my girlfriend HATES them, the legs weren't slim enough, and I just don't have the stones to pull of red pants. The look just isn't me. Red SHORTS, on the other hand, are right up my sartorial alley. Or, at least, the alley in which I would like to reside.

The inspiration for this really comes from a How-To I saw on Valet last summer. Valet - How to Make Cut-off Shorts
