"Jorts" Advice Needed!

Hey everyone, so today I'm coming to YOU all for advice! Since the weather's getting to be preeeetty warm lately (minus today...50 degrees anyone??) I've been trying to add some nice spring and summer pieces to my wardrobe, and it just hit me today: I don't own any denim shorts! Gray shorts? Got 'em. Khaki shorts? Of course. Dark blue, light blue, pink, green, seersucker, patterned? Have them all. But jean shorts (popularly known as jorts)? Nope!

I used to not really be a fan of denim shorts, since I think a nice pair of chino shorts looks much classier and put together. However, I've been seeing a lot of cute looks on Pinterest and on other blogs that are featuring denim shorts, so I'm ready to try them out for myself! I really like the way a cute pair of denim shorts looks when paired with a flowy, colorful blouse, and I'm sure I can find some other fun ways to style them too! I also happen to remember Derek once commenting on how he thought girls looked hot in jean shorts [ahem, only if that girl is ME, mister ;) ]. However, I have absolutely NO idea where to buy denim shorts....which is where you all come in! First of all, how do YOU feel about denim shorts--love 'em, or hate 'em? Second, where do you BUY cute denim shorts? I don't want anything too tattered or destroyed looking...I think I'd prefer to go with a darker-colored, cuffed pair of shorts--although I'm sure I can deal with a little bit of fraying, if they're cute! Any advice?
