Instead of feeling chilled, I felt more comfortable (temperature wise) at home than I have for a little while. Part of this might be due to the amount of sun we've had lately combined with the number and size of our upstairs windows. It's been warm enough that I've been opening the windows a bit when I've been up there.
Still, I just prefer the feel of shorts ... and I love the convenience of the cargo pockets. Roll your eyes all you like. This is my kind of fashion.
