This week I was struggling to decide on a roundup subject when I decided to send out a call for suggestions on Facebook (did you know Adventures in Love & Happiness is on Facebook?)
Luckily for me (and for you) the darling Dana of Exploring the Unknown suggested summer shorts that we long enough for a lady to wear. Truthfully, shorts aren't my favorite. I consider it a triumph that I have 3 pairs in my closet and don't imagine I'll be getting many more.
Except I do love pairing them with tights so maybe I'll have to pick up a pair.
Do you love ikat as much as I do?
Wild Ikat Chino Short from J Crew $59.50
I've always had a soft spot for sailor shorts.
Matelot Woven Shorts from Forever 21 $15.80
When picking shorts I usually try to pick fun colors & patterns.
Geometric Shorts from Gap $39.95
I'm not sure if I've ever seen girlier shorts than these.
Two Wheel Touring Shorts from Modcloth $34.99
The color of these shorts would make them a summer staple.
The Eva Short from Victoria's Secret $31.60
I imagine these shorts would be nice & comfy.

Love the pattern & the style.

The detail of these pockets is too cute.

These are cute enough to add to my closet.
Checkered Paperboy Shorts from Madewell $59.50
My legs are too short for longer shorts but these might have to be the exception.

The perfect shorts to dress up or down.
Magnifique Shorts from Francesca's Collection $19.98
I adore this neutral print.

I own two pairs of shorts & can't remember the last time I wore either of them....!
I'm not a huge fan of shorts either - I enjoy the bermuda length because I feel like it doesn't make my thighs look huge.
I really like the last ones from gap!
Yay! Thanks so much! I love all the loose flowy styles because you can definitely transition those into the fall with tights. You picked some great patterns too! Can't wait to do a little internet shopping this weekend :-) then my students wont be able to call me out on wearing the same shorts everyday haha
I am not typically a shorts person but I kind of want a few of these...
AAAH! Why didn't I see those awesome tribal shorts at F21 yesterday? I must have them. MUST.
love, love, love, love, love!
Aww the high waisted red shorts are so cute! And I have the shop kempt ones, they are gorgeous! I totally recommend em :)

I also own two pair of shorts both from Jcrew. both khaki (one dark beige one navy blue) I hardly ever wear them.
i've always said that i hate shorts. and then i'll go out and by 3 pairs every summer. i've come to terms with my thighs & it just gets too hot here to not wear them. i love the ruffle shorts and the silk shorts trend. :) thanks for your sweet comment!
i'm the same way about shorts! i've been trying to wear them more lately but for some reason, i can't get over feeling self conscious.
Wow, what a stellar collection of shorts!
I LOVE shorts! Love love love! It might also have something to do with living on a tropical island...What a great assortment you have here. Thanks for stopping by my blog today Cole :)
These are such cute shorts! But I definitely tend to like a longer length...not a big fan of my thighs. ;)
I heart the J Crew ones and the Megan Nielson ones loaaaads!! I love shorts, don't have many pairs though, it's rarely warm enough to wear them over here, I wear them to death on hot holidays though!

I am not a shorts girl either. Why wear shorts when you can wear skirts? ;) I also am a bit "hippy" so I feel like I look ridiculous in them. That said, those modcloth ones with the bow might just change my mind. They're ridiculously adorable!
I need more shorts, but they're already out of stores!! WHAT!? I need another pair of jean shorts, but I would also like to get a patterned pair. Guess I need to expand my store search if I really want to find a pair. I mean, common, it's only June!
