Is there something wrong with wearing shorts?

Well, maybe a pair of cut-off jeans, worn with dark socks and slippers. That would be a hipster/ironic look.

I thought the "hipster" thing these days is to wear those short high school gym shorts with the piping along the seams. I mean, who else is buying them at American Apparel? I LURVED those shorts back in the day. Perfect length, whacked-out colors, and quite sexy, actually. And being as vertically challenged as I am, they came down to the perfect length- at mid-upper thigh. The shorts they sell these days are ridiculous for short people- on me it's literally like wearing clown pants. If Daisy Dukes were back in style, I would be all over them in a heartbeat!
