Closing out shorts week with a summer closet must have – cutoff jean shorts.  With my outfits lately leaning way over on the casual side, I’ve been wearing some of my older cutoff denim shorts lots.  I decided to go ahead and add another pair because my other are a little too big.  Jean shorts are something I 100% prefer to try on in-store because you never know what size you might need or how different styles will look.

I’d been hearing lots of good things about this pair, so I decided to give online shorts buying a try.  I ordered two sizes, my regular jean size and one size up to compare fit.  In the end, I kept the pair in my regular jean size.  What I love about these shorts is that they aren’t super tight or too short.  They even have a good amount of length in the back.  The looser fit design made my normal size fit perfectly.  The next size up had to much room in the leg area and made me look a little too wide.  I also ordered these in a faded black wash that I think will be great for transitioning into the warm fall weather when we still need our shorts.

I hope you enjoyed my shorts themed week!  If you missed the earlier posts, head here for a comfy pair of paperbag shorts and head here for a round up of my shorts outfit from July plus a little more.  Also, don’t forget to check in HERE for my latest Nordstrom Anniversary Sale content!  I’ll be back next week sharing how to transition some of your summer pieces into fall PLUS some of my top picks from the NSale!

Well I finally added some new shorts to my closet for summer and just in time for the hottest month of the year.  These yellow floral shorts are so comfy and feel like I’m living in loungewear with a much more polished look.  Paperbag shorts come in a variety of styles, material and fit.  The waist sort of resembles a paper bag which is where the name comes from.

The slip on style and elastic waist band is what contributes to the comfiness of these shorts.  They are a lightweight and breathable material designed to fit slightly loose.  The tie waist bow helps give a dressed up look to these shorts.  With the flowy style, these shorts pair really well with fitted tanks and tees.  I’ve also paired this top with my ivory cami HERE.  While I know many of us are not traveling right now, I think this look would make a great vacation outfit!  It also works for a daytime party or just a casual day at home.  These shorts do fit a little big.  I’m wearing an XS in them.
