Summer Shorts

This summer I am breaking away from my current and past short wardrobe and trying something new. My closet and dresser is crammed full of the same basic denim or cutoff style shorts. There are a few pair of colored shorts here and there, but again it is the same basic button and zipper style. Don't get me wrong, your basic denim style shorts will always be a staple. They will never go out of style, but I seriously need something new!

I have seen tons of adorable shorts while I've been out and about .  I really like the new styles, cuts, patterns, and details! This season you will definitely be seeing more variety than just your basic denim or khaki styles. I did some shopping recently and picked up a few pair! Here are a few more I found online that are definitely summer worthy! Which pair is your favorite?
