So when Halloween rolls around I usually don’t participate because I can never quite manage to get a good costume together in time.  Last year was an exception.

My Favorite Summer Shorts

When it comes to my summer off-duty uniform, I live in denim shorts! My favorite pair are from Levis and while they have a very unfortunate name – The Wedgie Fit ? they’ve become my go-to’s.
