Still suffering from the irrational and inappropriate longing for leather shorts, I was thrilled to find this hideous pair above, by Derek Lam<\/strong>, for $1,450 at Saks.com. It’s always nice when your unwholesome shopping fixation is chipped away by images or associations that ruin the whole idea of whatever it is you think you need.<\/p>\n

Look at this atrocity below by YSL<\/strong>, also at Saks, for $1,950.<\/p>\n
