Roundup: Short Shorts

My husband and I spent this past weekend moving into our new place in Texas, and wow, it's definitely summer, which made me realize that I probably need more shorts in my wardrobe. I always have a hard time finding shorts that I like, so the hunt is an almost never-ending process. I decided to round up some of my favorite pairs of short shorts under $50, because who wants to spend a lot of money on such a small amount of fabric?!

I'm particularly loving the striped Madewells and the Forever 21 sailor shorts.

Are you on the hunt for shorts? What makes a great pair?
