Outfit of the Day- Why Linen Will Never Be My Friend

I bought these linen shorts this weekend against my better judgement, but I had the thought that I wanted some work appropriate shorts and what could be better than linen when the temps are soaring. There is a reason why this is my only linen item and I realized that after some fast forming wrinkles and multiple douses of Downy Wrinkle Releaser. Linen gets a D in presentation today and I'm noting that maybe a darker color would be better next time (if there is one).


I'm not sure what I was doing, but the effect of this pic is kind of cool.
