Old Navy has awesome shorts on sale for $12.50. They have them in 3" or 5". I got the Sweetheart cut denim shorts in a 5" and they are perfect. So I went back and got some chino-type black ones in both a 3" and a 5" and I'm trying to figure out which are better. My vagina loves eating shorts so we'll see.

How do they fit on your thighs? I hate shorts that are straight on the thigh. I need some room to let my bad boys flap around. I tried some tailored chinos at Target yesterday and they clung to my thighs, it was awful.

I have room! My thighs are still "big" even though they are smaller than before. I got size 8s in the denim ones and they were tight, but roomy after first wear (I never plan on washing them). Got the chino ones in a 10 and they had tons of thigh room.

Good to know! Did you have to do some "floor exercises" to get them broken in or was it just through the normal wear? lol
LOL! Just normal wear. I wore them around the house for a few hours to test them out. But then wore them to a hot as ballz car show for a whole day and that perfectly seasoned them.

These were the 3" shorts that were super hoochie on me - and I am 5'3". I was so confused, and thought my others from JCrew must be 4". So I ordered the 4" from JCrew and they were sooooo long and ridiculous. I guess my point is: the ON 3" does not match the JCrew 3" in my experience. Be warned. LOL.

Yeah, the measurment seemed to be inconsistent between the chinos and the denims. The denim 5" was so perfect, but the chino seemed so long.

LOLing at "floor exercises"! The first time DF saw me doing some deep lunges to stretch my jeans out, he was uhhhh... Confused. I tried to tell him all girls do that to get the right fit. He was skeptical. I tried on the ON shorts yesterday! I liked them, but didn't love them. They were weird on my hips. I did buy some boyfriend shorts from target denizen brand, and those rock!

Grr, I hate that! Why can't companies get together and have set guidelines for clothes?! It would make life easier!

Word! I guess a size can be subjective, but how does 3" not equal 3"??

haha, so true! Did you bust out the tape measure to see if it really was 3"? You must always carry a tape measure for things like this! : )
LOL! I would never stop laughing at the lady in Old Navy with a measuring tape! Sizes are never consistent there, can you imagine? Fool's errand, for sure!

I (heart) you so much for posting this. That is a perfect price, and I love their pants (and their vanity sizes). Their interweb store isn't showing those prices, but I'll try to hit up my store in the next couple of days. Most of my shorts make me look like a hoochie mama.
