Cutoff Shorts That Aren't Crazy Short (and under $75)

I asked my mom to search through our old dress up boxes to find my dad’s cutoffs from 1979 but, alas, no such luck. Plus I probably wouldn’t have fit in them. He was a tiny man.

Dresses are my go-to summer wardrobe staple but I am still limited from wearing them in public because I’m still nursing, so separates are totally essential for practicality’s sake. Which brings me to shorts. More specifically, denim shorts, aka jorts.

I’m on the hunt for the perfect pair of cutoff shorts, which for me, closing in on 30 with ~~mom bod~~ 2 young kids, means:

1. Pockets cannot hang out the bottom.

2. My ass cannot hang out the bottom.

3. No cuffs.

4. Nothing skin tight.

So I searched. And searched. And searched. Most are WAY too short or super expensive but I was able to track down 4 pair I would wear.
