My paperbag shorts search that took way too long
I had a very specific image in my head of paperbag-waist shorts from a trip a few years back, and somehow could not find anything close to it in stores, which turned into an unreasonably long weekend of scrolling.
I compared a couple of listings, texting a friend photos asking 'does this look right?' more times than I'd like to admit, and most options either had the wrong waist detail or weren't in my size.
This ruffle-waist pair finally matched what I had in mind, high-waisted with the right silhouette, and ordering through a seller I could actually message directly made the sizing question easy to sort out before buying.
Sometimes the exact thing you're picturing does exist, it just takes some digging.
