Attack of the Wrinkles

You get to join me at the gas station again today. Isn't that exciting??? Can I just talk about my shorts for a minute? When I get dressed this morning, I was so excited. I felt very chic for casual Friday. I liked the combo of these slightly shiny, dressy shorts, heels, pearls and a great jacket. But by the time I drove from my house to the gas station, I was a wrinkled mess. I mean a majorly wrinkled mess. Not so chic now. In fact, I'm aggrevated enough that I am returning the two pairs of these shorts that I got. I'm not paying $45 for shorts that look like crap after 10 minutes. And I think as a curvy girl who has a hard time keeping my clothes looking sharp, I'm exceptionally sensitive to clothes that are prone to wrinkles. Unacceptable! And so dissapointing b/c I really need some dressy shorts.

That is always my biggest problem with shorts and even most pants in general is that they wrinkle to easily.

But I have to say wrinkle or not, you look amazing in those shorts and the overall look is great!

It's too bad those shorts wrinkle so much since the look is so adorable. Good luck finding a new pair.

That outfit is so cute but yeah, those shorts are a hot mess. Now that you have the ear of LB, maybe they will change the fabric for next season!

Sabrina - thanks! I'm glad that you can see beyond the wrinkles, b/c I really loved this outfit before it got so wrinkled.

Case - thanks!

Kathryn - thanks! I'm on the hunt for new ones, for sure!

Shelley - wouldn't it be nice if I had that much influence? It would be a dream come true.
