inspiration has grown cold, even as the longing renews....

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I LOVE THESE LEATHER SHORTS!

My best thrift to date and though there are MANY other options out there that are beyond covetable....alexander wang....I like how these are high waisted, have a cutesy side tie detail and are loose but short.....without being stripper short.

I've tried a few of the littler fitted options in either genuine leather or some plasticy composite but I either look like a promo girl (no offence intended, I'm just not promo girl material) or like my legs had become two pre-cooked bangers (sausages/snarlers/knock wurst/whatever) wearing a pair of tiny leather shorts. Not ideal. So these feel good for me.

And yes, being thrifted means these babies are old. Pre-loved and broken in.

And yes, that means these are ACTUAL biker shorts that some old biker hag has worn while riding on the back of a Harley....or to a Gang HQ's Christmas do....or both.

Fingers crossed it was a female......


wearing: thrifted crochet top and leather shorts, over knee socks x the warehouse, chemist headband, unseen-tux tee x kmart, 'dilemma' wedges x chaos&harmony via me-tail therapy which do not cause my pidgeon toed ness, that's just me.

Though I have professed my love for my shorty worty's, this doesn't stop me from hunting down a back-up option .....I feel like I'm cheating on them, so I only hunt at night....online...while they sleep. I really would like another pair.
I guess they're a wardrobe staple and since being worn to death, feel they have become a little lacking in the Inspiration Department. I do love them, I do, I do, I do. I'm looking for some with a different, more 'X' x-factor.

The longing for the Wang leather shorts renews itself every day.

But, as if.....my budgetary restrictions confine me to just that....longing.
