So I had mentioned in a past post that I was dealing with some minor health issues.  Well at first I wasn't planning on talking about my leg (and use photoshop to cover my leg bandages), but I decided it wasn't worth hiding.  It's really no big deal (except to myself of course) and so what if I have a big ass bandage on my leg in my blog pictures?  This isn't one of those aspirational blogs afterall.  This is about helping readers make decisions about what to buy (or not to buy) through my reviews.  So here's me with my big ass bandage due to a 2 month leg infection that originally came about from a bug bite.  After 2 rounds of oral antibiotics and several weeks of topical antibiotics, it's finally under control (ie no longer growing).  But at some point I was afraid it was going to cover my whole leg.  Later when it heals there will be a big ass scar that will fade (but may not disappear), and so that's going to stick around on the blog pics too.  But I decided the scar won't be worth hiding and there's nothing shameful about have imperfections.

{A side note about all this: when I was preoccupied by this infection and my health in general, I truly stopped being interested in trying out new items for the blog.  In fact, I basically stopped buying things and thinking about fashion/style.  Which made me realize that being able to think about (or obsess) about clothes and style truly is a luxury for the healthy and well.  And I'm really grateful to be able to do this blog and share this hobby with others.}

Anywho, that's what's going on with my leg.  Now onto the review of these shorts, which are also no big deal, lol.  This is really just a pair of thin cotton striped shorts.  Something I feel like you could find at Target for a lot less than it's $30 price tag on Everlane.  I tried out a medium since I tend to be bigger on the bottom (usually a 28 in jeans, or size 4-6).  But these shorts were pretty big and loose.  There was nothing that interesting about these shorts.  

The striped top I'm wearing is from Grana (which I love and will probably buy a second one, P.S. 10% off your first Grana purchase with that link) and those shoes are from Loeffler Randall.  Is there too many stripes going on in these pics?  Lol, it wasn't planned.  I just happened to be wearing that shirt at the time.  Anyway my review of the Gia tank is here, and all other Everlane reviews can be found here.  And lastly, here's my referral link to Everlane.  Thanks for reading guys and hope you don't mind the bandages in the reviews coming up.
