Life Savers | Vintage Nautical Life Buoys, Starts and Ropes Knots 1980s Summer Shorts

The story:

These made us smile for some reason or another. And it made us say the word "Culottes, culottes, culottes..." so many times we burst out laughing! Mostly because the culottes were the best thing every! Short, but not revealing. Loose but not unshapely. Best! 

And THIS baby comes with 2 side pockets too! 

It's fun and funny at the same time. A little quirky, a little fun, a little nautical, a little retro. Just look at that life-saver float print (hehe or was life-saver a sweet?) 

80s summer camp comes to mind, anyone? ;)
