A Slightly Awkward Post

Shorts? Thrifted Shirt? Gap Belt, shoes and purse? Thrifted


Last time I did an EBEW post I had writer's block. This time it happened again. I think I have an excuse though, working outside in this heat wave for 10 hours a day has started to smelt my brain.
What follows is a true story.
Because I was stumped I asked my bestie/co-worker what to write in a post about my mellow yellow shorts. She asked me if the shorts made me feel cheerful. I said no. She asked if they made me feel like the man with the yellow hat from Curious George, except for without the yellow hat and the monkey. I said no. She asked me if they made me feel like I humped sunshine. I said to her that I think I will stick to writing my own blog but you would probably be entertaining on twitter.

Here's a tip. Find friends who are weirder than you.

    I think your bestie needs a blog. ALSO, I think pale blue & yellow were created just so you could wear them. You look BEAUTIFUL and so summery & fresh! I love this.

    Tell your friend I want to hump her sunshine. Don't tell her that. But do tell me when she joins Twitter. And speaking of sunshine and not humping it, your hair color is so pretty! Keep me away from the dye aisle..

    i, too, had some serious writer's block for this current EBEW. fortunately i was able to blame mine on the fact that my brain has been officially shut off while i'm on summer vacation.

    by the way, your outfit is fantastic!

    This outfit is one of my faves so far. I like how you've made a denim shirt looked polished by tucking it in and adding some dark brown accents. Then the shorts are an unexpected pop of colour, but the pleats keep them from looking too casual. Awesomeness all around.

    Ok, I'm jealous that you can wear shorts with pleats. I bought a pair of shorts with pleats and when I put them on they were the most unflattering thing you've ever seen. Even more unflattering than humping the sunshine.

    Hey Jentine,

    Despite your writer's block (and I find the idea of being the man in the yellow hat or even humping sunshine hilarious, btw), I think this is a killer post and an amazing outfit! You should definitely submit it on The Wear To Go Girls FB page for the "Look of the Week"!! Check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wear-to-go-Girls/138631736207424...

    "Find friends who are weirder than you": this is really quite brilliant advice. I'm going to get rid of all my friends right now and go in desperate search for ones weirder than I. I suspect I'll be gone for some time.

    Also brilliant? These balling shorts...well, cool shorts. Balling would maybe be for the other (male) half of the species. But you know what I mean. :) Love the chilly yellow with the chambray!

    PS: You'd make a very cute monkey!
