Sales. Do you know the feeling when we love a piece so much that we go to the store over and over again just to see it? Well, that happened to me with these shorts. I spent the whole season craving them and resisting buying them. Honestly, despite the original design, I found them very expensive. And, with a house to furnish, a holiday to decide one has to set priorities (unless I win Euromillions soon I’ll need to keep defining priorities).

But last week I went to Norteshopping and of course, I went to Massimo Dutti. To be totally honest with you, I wasn’t thinking about the shorts, I just went to see what was on sales and if I could find a good bargain. And there they were, single, hanging in a corner. I went to them as fast as I could (disguising my joy) and took them to the dressing room. And although I find that they are not the easiest piece to wear, nor the one that suits me perfectly (although I really like to see myself with them), I brought them home. Because sometimes it is as they say “what is ours is kept”. And they were kept for me.
