DON'T YOU LOVE stripes and jean shorts? Me too! Obviously...

I was wearing this BIG STRIPED shirt while walking in the EVil last summer when a Mickey Rourke looking fellow (quite dapper actually, and if by dapper you mean 80's rocker with a full beard and RUSH tee) said, "Nice shirt!"

I wonder if his mind took him the inmate route, rather than the nautical... Either way, "Thanks!"

I dream of having a mohawk one day... one day doggumit.

These jean shorts are a DIY project, which I totally encourage; however, if you don't have any old jeans to cut, check these brights by Wildfox (Cobalt! Red!) and Blank NYC via Nasty Gal.

And I think pairing these with anything over-sized is key. The shorts are already tiny and tight, no need to whore it up on top... Unless that's your thing, of course, then by all mean. #imnotjudgingyouontheoutside

Try BIG STRIPES, BIG DOTS, BIG AMERICAN FLAGS instead!
