Hey guys. As I sit here and type this I’m feeling pretty miserable – I’ve had a cold/allergies for 2 weeks that has now turned into an ear infection. But I figured a new blog post would at least make me feel productive instead of moping around.
I thought I would pick shorts. Shorts are a little tricky I think. I mean first of all there is literally not a lot of material to work with lolol so how cute and personalized can they be? Also I feel a lot of times they’re looked at as just a necessity in summer but not necessarily as fashion. What I hope to show you is that for not a lot of money you can find some really cool shorts!
Most of my shorts are from either Target or JCrew. I really don’t understand paying $120 for a designer cutoff brand of shorts when in all honesty they will look very similar to a pair from Target. You are literally paying for the label. Maybe I am just jealous of the people that can afford those designer shorts though lol 🙂 Also go with whatever length you are comfortable with. There are lots of choices out there!
Alright let’s get down to the shorts. Here’s a roundup of some shorts I wouldn’t mind having in my closet, enjoy!
Point Sur Embroidered High-Rise Short
OK guys so I almost already broke my 1st rule here of not paying over $100 for shorts BUT these are currently on sale for $58 so we’re safe *whew* 🙂
Another adorable JCrew find! These are so flattering on and you can just throw on a plain tee and go and you still look so put together!
JCrew Point Sur Seaside Short in Linen
Another adorable JCrew find. These are pretty plain but I adore this mustard color! I love the whole outfit pairing!
High-Rise Destroyed Midi Jean Shorts
A white, destroyed pair that will literally go with anything. This is a closet staple to me.
Gingham Print High-Rise Seersucker Tie Chino Shorts
What’s old is new again. Don’t be dismayed by gingham – it’s cute and has personality! Love the bow on these too.
Simple and timeless, love the frayed edge and light wash. Another closet staple.
Paper-bag Short in Orange Striped
Another adorable and affordable option! Orange is very trendy this would look great with a white tee.
Another staple I believe. These have even more rips than the earlier pair I showed. Go with whatever amount of distressing you are comfortable with.
So pretty and a statement on their own, you can keep the rest of your outfit neutral like the models.
Linen-Cotton Scalloped Hem Short
JCrew does scalloped shorts right! I own these in multiple colors.
Just give me this whole outfit please, thanks!
High Waist Cutoff Denim Shorts
These are pretty simple but what a fun color, I love them!
This is darling. So ladylike and sophisticated!
These are on the more expensive side of what I would be willing to spend on shorts but the great thing about Anthro is you can wait for them to go on sale 🙂
What do you think? Did you find a pair you loved? Let me know in the comments below, please!
