Summer Jean Shorts Review

Yes, you're reading that right. I'm stepping out of my usual store and headed to Abercrobie for shorts. Here's the thing, I'm just not a fan of tight hugging shorts and forget it if they are high rise. And if you're into a stretchy, high waisted short, then Madewell is your place. Still love you, but I had to find a pair I could live in with my trip to Tulum coming. Never thought I would be finding myself at Abercrombie for shorts as a 30 year old, but hey you do what you have to in the name of desperation shorts. With a variety of options, it actually turned out better than I could have hoped for. If you're on the hunt for some budget-friendly jean shorts that are comfortable, then I've got you covered. 

AMES LOW RISE BOYFRIEND SHORT // SIZE 25

These are a good lived in pair of shorts. There is a little structure to the fabric, which I do love in shorts. I'm not trying to give it all away. Because they are boyfriend cut, you can stick to your size or go down. I did go with my smaller size and still have some room. Everything is covered from all angles, so that's a plus. I didn't end up with these, since I already have a boyfriend short coming with me.

HARPER LOW RISE SHORT // SIZE 26

Not going to lie, these are short and low. Don't worry, you can still sit comfortably. And call me crazy the thicker denim helps to make them the right fit and tasteful. Maybe it's purely the fact that my mind has beach written all over it, but these ended up being the winners for me. The question is how much I will wear them after the trip is up in the air.

ANNIE HIGH-RISE GIRLFRIEND SHORT // SIZE 26

Immediately, these were a big NO! They had a looser fit, so I figured could balance out my dislike for high rise. It didn't change my mind. They looked frumpy from the front. The back was fine.

ANNIE HIGH RISE SHORT // SIZE 25

Uhh, no! The distressing on the leg openings land at an awkward spot for me. My thighs are a little fuller, so I would stay away from these if you're not trying to draw attention to your thighs. However, I did love the thicker denim and side/back views.

Have you tried any of Abercrombie's shorts? I think I'm a fan, even if I only came home with one pair.

Eyelet Top + Linkup

As you might have seen on Snapchat (username: AdriLately), it was my birthday Wednesday. Yessss, it involved a whole lot of eating. But it's been my excuse to pick up a few birthday presents to myself. It's a sure way to not be disappointed. This eyelet top was one I would pass by on my drive to work and finally caved because 'hi' scallops AND eyelet! Oh, it happened to be $30. But there's a huge but. It's one size and definitely would say it's small. And because I'm addicted to eyelet right now this one is another eyelet top I ordered. It's on sale too. 

Now it's time to flashback to last year. It was a year ago I found the perfect white jeans and still so happy I did. And I guess you can say the Summer months bring out my love for eyelet. You can see the full look here.

Thanks SO much for linking up with us! Make sure you join this week!
