Save Or Splurge: Distressed Denim Shorts






For me this summer is all about the denim short. There are so many variations of them that I had to decide what characteristics where important to me. I am currently loving distressed boyfriend shorts with a light wash, and thats just what I found. These Rag & Bone pair are fantastic but with a price tag of over $200 I quickly looked for alternatives. I will gladly be saving with this pair from American Eagle. So tell me are you saving or splurging on this summer staple?
