)--but these I felt drawn to. I like the piping, it reminds me of the 70s 
Anyways, I like the longer, vintage-y and comfy fit of their shirts, so I decided to give their bottoms a try.
I actually bought these shorts for the first time sometime last year, but during an incident in the laundry room at school, those joints straight disappeared. The shorts were good to sleep in... and that's about it because they were SO SHORT. I even went up 2 sizes to hopefully gain some length. And they were still booty length!
Well the most recent time I bought them I got my regular size (S/M) and they fit perfect. AmAp's "sizing" really blows me, man. Because the clothes are hand-sewn, there are almost always irregularities in their sizes. Some of their sh*t is way too overpriced for that to even be a problem, but that's another post I guess.
Well anyways, today I was feeling super lazy and I didn't change out of these particular shorts, which I had slept in the night before. I decided to go to the park and walk around and chat with my homegirl Ash. Seeing as how I was already dressed pretty sporty (shorts included) I didn't really see a reason to change. I mean, these shorts ARE advertised as the "Interlock Running Short" right? Yeah, I had to tug at them every so often to make sure certain things didn't make an appearance (probably a sign that maybe, JUST MAYBE, you're shorts are a little too bootylicious) but surely they could withstand a little light walking around a park, right?
Well, what I re-realized during our outing was that, while advertised as "Interlock Running Shorts" the name might as well be "Daisy Dukes 2.0 Posin' As Athletic Wear." Not necessarily a bad thing, but I already have a nice butt. Emphasizing that mess would just cause your man to keep calling me non-stop at all hours of the night & morning and, quite frankly, I need my beauty rest
While wearing these shorts in public today I got one catcall from some dude in a car and a lot of elongated stares and more "hellos" than usual from the male joggers on the trail. These aren't necessarily bad things (hey, it's nice to have outside reinforcement of your hotness), but really, all I wanted was a cute, not-too-attention-grabbing pair of casual dope-ass shorts.
On the real though, a lot of the clothes I see on AmAp's site and in their stores, I'm thinking "What hipster tool actually goes out in public with this mess intending to use it as actual dance or workout gear?"
Lamé "workout" shorts? Would YOU wear this to the gym?
Sidenote: I bought a shiny lamé tube bra from them and the shiny doesn't even last! After a few washings, FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LABEL AND ALL THAT, the shine dulled. I paid for shininess!
And if you're going out in public wearing this? This HERE? As REGULAR SHORTS (becuase that's how they're advertised at the store)? Guaranteed someone will ask if you're a hooker by the end of the night (I've seen it happen, lmao).
These are basically panties, chicas! These ARE panties, American Apparel! I heard the guy who runs the company is a big perv anyways, but still. Some of us would like the vintage appeal without the random sizing, stupid prices and equally vintage (and rather troublesome in these times) advertised message: FREE LOVE. << UPDATE: On second thought, I'm not sure their message is "FREE LOVE" per se. More like... "Look at the goods," I guess?That said, I still find these shorts really comfy. Not sure if I should use them for good (which would be keeping the booty contained in the shorts within the confines of my house/bedroom) or evil. Maybe both?
P.S. Happy September biyotches! My first September in... hmmm... 16 years!!! that I'm not in school. Bittersweet (but mostly pretty sweet
).
