Now that summer is unofficially here, I thought we could take a minute to chat about shorts. It's a scary subject. Up until last year, I never wore shorts. I hated them, and instead, I would live in dresses and capris. A dress is still my fave option for summer, but there are definitely days that wearing one is just not practical...like, when you don't feel like having the wind constantly exposing your booty! And there are definitely days where it is just too hot to wear capris or pants. Enter: shorts. However, my problem with shorts was that they were exactly that - short! I could not find a pair that I felt comfortable wearing. They all were too short and too low cut.
I don't know what happened, but last year I found the Old Navy shorts! These super comfy shorts come in different lengths (I opt for the 5") and in a variety of different colors and prints. If you are looking for a great pair of mid-rise shorts that aren't too short, these are for you! These shorts are the first pair that I felt comfortable wearing! I eased into them last summer with white, black and khaki. This year, I've expanded my collection with bright colors and prints. They are also super affordable, so you can snatch up multiple pairs without breaking the bank! This is important to me, because I just cannot justify spending a fortune on something like shorts, and I like having a few options. When shopping for shorts, my goal is for them to be $20 or less. Target also has great options with a similar fit and style to the Old Navy shorts. Check out my picks for fun summer shorts under $20 below!
It's funny that someone who so recently despised shorts has built such a collection of them! A dress is still my all-time fave thing to wear, but I will definitely be wearing shorts often this summer! They are the perfect thing to pack for the lake house - are they not? My favorite way to wear them currently is with chambray. Surprise, surprise! But seriously, as I am writing this, I am realizing...I kind of love shorts now! Did I just say that?!
