Good news! I FINALLY got jean shorts. I am so hip now. It took me a while to find ones I liked because I’m very particular about not looking like a skank. Silly, I know. Maybe it’s my old age (28 as of yesterday, remember?) but I just don’t get the whole pockets-hanging-out-the-bottom-of-your-shorts look. It looks like your shorts shrank, but the pockets were made of some special fabric that didn’t shrink. Or like you have 10 rolls of quarters in each pocket weighing them down. Or like you were cutting your old jeans into shorts but you measured wrong and then your house caught on fire but you weren’t wearing any pants so you just had to put the shorts on and run outside and then your house burned down and destroyed all your other proper shorts so now you have no other choice than to wear your embarrassing mistake until the insurance check comes through.
Anywho, the point is: I didn’t want what I call “denim underwear” and I didn’t want mom shorts, so I was happy to find these “boyfriend shorts.” They are actually pretty long but since they’re not too tight, it’s easy to roll them up to a length that I like. Which you may notice is far below the bottom of the pockets.

great outfit! totally agree on the length thing too. i’ve seen so many girls with their bum hanging out of the back of their jean shorts… yikes!
Funny post! And the shorts look awesome! I’m with ya.. I don’t think those shorts should even be sold because they are just awful.
I shockingly found some decent length shorts (shorter than yours, but still appropriate) at JCPenney in the junior’s section. They’re not perfect, but they’re much better than what I normally find.
I absolutely love your top.
i like a good length short too! I love your top too! So cute!!!!
It is so tough to find shorts that are in the middle range length! I’ve had good luck at J.Crew and Gap, too!
I couldn’t find denim shorts in a length I wanted, either, so I went to the thrift store, bought some jeans, and made my own!
Good jean shorts are hard to come by! I like these though!! And that shirt…awesome.
You look FABULOUS. I like the appropriate-length shorts! So many people just let it all hang out. it’s nice to see some class!
I bought my denim shorts (first pair in YEARS!) from Loft. They are just the right length, not hoochy short but not too long. I’m wish ya…no need to see pockets hanging out!

Yes! Denim underwear is a total pet peeve of mine, especially when I see them on teens…I mean, who let you dress like that?! But I guess I’m just an old lady too. The shorts look fantastic on you and I still love that adorable top!
