Pockets longer than your shorts?

I had to post this because my sister told me to tweet the other day "Ladies if your pockets are longer than your shorts, you might want to consider new shorts" It was good for a laugh but as I look at the trend I'm not too big on it either. It's awkward when my sister and I agree on fashion advice....

On the right side of the shorts debate we have Rihanna. Love this look. Once again I'm a sucker for plaid and a tied as opposed to buckled belt always adds a little something more to even the simplest outfit in my opinion. See, the little things sometimes make or break an outfit.

To recap: peeking pockets - no Tied belt - yes
