Tuesday's Ten: Short Shorts!

It's finally getting warm out and I could not be any more excited to throw on some cute shorts and enjoy the sun! For me, it has always been extremely difficult to find flattering shorts. Let's be honest...they're either too short, too uncomfortable, or they are just so unflattering that they create sausage legs. Yes, I said it: sausage legs. Given that just about every store is stocked with summer shorts, it's a perfect time for this post!
Below are ten really cute shorts that are super flattering and absolutely perfect for the summer!

1. Silk Shorts
Joe Fresh - $39
I recently stumbled across this pair as well as a navy and yellow pair of silk shorts at my local Joe Fresh store. I am obsessed with these shorts. They not only look incredible on, but they're also soft, good quality, and inexpensive! These shorts are perfect for summer and I can't wait to wear them with a tucked in white tank, gold sandals, and tons of gold jewelry (though I'm convinced they will look good with just about anything). 

2. Linen Shorts 
Joie - $138
Linen shorts are so fresh, clean, and summery. This Joie pair is lightweight and flattering-- absolutely perfect for summer.

3. Tribal Shorts
Maison Scotch - $85
Tribal print is appearing everywhere this summer, so why not try it out and wear these fun tribal print shorts? They're exciting and fresh yet simple and classic; you just can't go wrong.

4. Scalloped Shorts
BB Dakota - $62
Scalloped shorts are so in right now. This pair is not only scalloped but also lace: a great summer statement. 

 5. High Waisted Shorts
Free People - $68
I find high waisted shorts to be iffy. Sometimes they just do not do the body justice! However, I do like this Free People pair. I think that they're a good choice because they're not too tight, they aren't too busy, and the dark wash makes them more flattering.

6. Neon Shorts
GAP - $40
You can find neon shorts in just about any store you walk into, and this GAP pair is really cute! I love the color and the simplicity of these.

7. Patterned Shorts 
Rebecca Minkoff - $398
If you know me or read my blog, you should know that I'm obsessed with Rebecca Minkoff. I LOVE these shorts. They are so unique, complimentary, and special. They could be worn both during the day and at night and look equally gorgeous.

8. Trendy Shorts
Equipment - $178
 Camo is one of the biggest trends right now, and I seriously love it. It's so edgy and different. These shorts are flattering and so fashion-forward. These busy shorts are great because you can throw on a black or white tank and go about your day without much effort while looking put together.

9. Black Leather Shorts
7 For All Mankind - $178
There is nothing worse than going out on a hot summer night wearing tight skinny jeans or a dress that sticks to your body. These leather shorts are the perfect substitute, and are extremely stylish. Dress them up with tons of jewelry, or just wear a plain tank. Either way, these leather shorts are stunning.

10. Swingy Shorts
Helmut Lang - $348
 Don't like to wear tight shorts? Want to switch it up and wear something more unique and flowing? These bright shorts are great for summer because they allow you to breathe while also remaining fun and stylish.
