There is nothing more perfect to be in than clothes that feel as though they were second skin. A comfort for which you had to make no effort. It is like talking to a good old friend. Even if a year has passed since you last spoke, you welcome them as if you had seen them yesterday. You just leap over those months to find that same conviviality you once shared!
The most comfortable and friendliest piece in this outfit are the ballet flats. I’ve worn to bits. When I went to Buenos Aires two years ago I only brought those black flats. It was during the beginning of Spring so every time I slip these on – they are slack after so much wear – I remember the hot cobblestone pavement, the aggressive mix of primary colors they use to paint buildings, the dancing, the cadence of their voices and the way they stare when they say “Que cosa?”, a trickle of that Italian heritage sipping through.

These shorts were the perfect pair of jeans. They sat snug on my hips and didn’t even require a belt. But they were four years old and torn below the bum. Still, I loved them too much to let them go.
I think they make the perfect pair of shorts.
