The unsung hero is not my top (although I do have it in blue) or these shoes (which came in close second) but these denim shorts.
Do you know how hard it is to find a pair of denim shorts you love, that are in style, long enough to cover your butt cheeks without being too long and highlighting your thighs is? Answer: v hard.
I bought them on a whim earlier this year for my trip to Saint Lucia and was not at all excepting to like them (I've had a dark past with denim shorts). The first pair I ordered were a smidge too tight but I loved the style of them so much I ordered the next size up and now here we are today.
Every single trip I have been on since Saint Lucia, these shorts have been packed. They've been washed more than a handful of times, they've seen heat and rain and stains and yet they hold true as the unsung hero in my closet.
For years I was wearing a super old pair from J. Crew --- that I loved --- but didn't really fit what I was going for. I wanted a distressed pair of shorts that weren't frayed at the bottom, that were longer than the pockets and (once again) that didn't show my butt! I hate this new diaper denim trend where girls but cheeks are sticking out. It's not cute.
So while these may be on the expensive side for jean shorts, I promise they are worth it. Sometimes you have to invest in something that you'll wear forever and that will hold up over the years.

Happy Wednesday? It feels like Monday but it's a super short week -- which is really the best case scenario! Hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July weekend!
