what Landis wore - the shorts dilemma

let's start with the fact that i'm not big into shorts.
maybe it's the "casual" factor,
maybe it's too many years of being assaulted by men in cargo shorts
from abercrombie
(most of whom are technically ten years past the cut-off for the look.
and the brand.
and the people they are trying to date.)
but i've just never been a fan.

but once in awhile, i try.

i give the old "what the hell, it's hot, i should be able to do this. i've got great legs."

so this day, i attempted the navy short (D&G),
the gray pullover (banana republic)
and the hightop with the sock.

let's say i was tackling many fears at once.
the darker sock thing is something i'm seeing everywhere on guys,
and i just couldn't do the sport/tube thing with the lanvin sneakers.

you know, i'm an ass.

i'm trying to reproduce a look with a satin and suede sneaker.

WTF?

anyway,
thoughts?

i'm thinking it was a valiant . . . attempt.
