I normally shy away from shorts in the spring and summer because honestly I just don't like the way they look on me and I have a hard time finding ones that fit well (shout out to my pear-shaped gals). If I had the choice, I'd pick a dress 9 times out of 10 because they're easier to just throw on and go, and way more comfortable. But when I found these shorts at J Crew I decided to try them on and was pleasantly surprised to see that they fit! The fact that waistband is elastic definitely didn't hurt and it's almost like getting the best of both worlds. I went with this pretty floral pattern, but they had solids available as well. Since it's still a bit chilly out, I paired them with a three-quarter length striped tee - I love floral and stripes together - and my orange espadrilles. I can already tell that this look will be accompanying me to the beach in a couple weeks!
