Do you ever feel like sometimes your denim cut-offs are too casual?
Like, you need something more pulled together?
Anyways, sometimes I want to look like my life is in order (and that apparently starts by getting non-frayed shorts).
With no tears or rips, Frame’s “Le Cutoff” cuffed denim shorts should be the ultimate not too fancy, not too “mature” kind of denim shorts, right?…

In 2010, I had this pair of vintage Levi’s denim shorts from What Goes Around Comes Around — I loved them.
Side note: Don’t you think people sound so precious when they say their jeans are vintage Levi’s? — it’s like “oh, yes, you’re clever and unique with shorts you can’t readily buy anywhere.”
… but I’m not clever (… or unique tbh), because somewhere between 7 moves, I lost my pair of vintage Levi’s.
I recently came across a pair of “AGOLDE Parker Vintage Cut Off Shorts” in “Riptide,” and was like, “wait, those look a lot like my lost vintage Levi’s shorts.”

When I first saw One Teaspoon Bandit shorts, my first thought wasn’t actually a thought. It was a noise. A groan.
Really, these are so trendy, high-waisted, torn, why the hell did my sister buy them?
Out of curiosity, I tried them on…
My groan turned to a sigh. 
They slimmed my legs.
They didn’t come up TOO high.
They felt like the most supportive, roomy, and comfy pair of denim shorts in the world.
… they were perfect.
Just like that One Teaspoon Bandits shorts had stolen my heart.
Jamie Blakey has made the perfect denim shorts for the summer. Somehow she just KNOWS how to cut a pair of denim shorts that make your legs look longer than ever AND how to make you feel SO comfortable.
I could stop this review of Bandit shorts right because here that’s really all there is to know…

2- They’re the most comfortable shorts you will ever wear
