Tightwad Tuesday: J Brand Low Rise Cutoff Shorts for a Steal

Dolls, to the left you will find J Brand’s luscious Low Rise Shorts in Bright Red; to the right direct your attention to Topshop’s tantalizing Moto Pink Denim Hot Pants.

Though the Topshop stunners sport a slightly different shade than the blissful J Brand’s; for just $55.00, in comparison to the $159.00 required to add a pair of the original Low Rise Cutoff Shorts to your summer wardrobe, they are le perfect compromise for the girl looking to indulge in the colored denim trend – on a budget!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for J Brand, or be thrifty and spring for Topshop?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to J Brand and Topshop for the pictures.

I'm not a shorts girl so neither for me!

Chicago Chic said...

I definitely don't like the thought of paying $159 for a pair of shorts, so I'll go with the cheaper ones! They are really cute, great find Erika!

Style Eyes said...

When it comes to this type of shorts, a flattering cut is really important so I think I would opt for J Brand if I could afford them!

StyleIDnet said...

I'll be a spender this time.... I love J Brand, their fit is perfect and that red is fantastic.

Okay, I am really really cheap because I would have a hard time spending $60 on jeans, let alone jean shorts. Haha... oh dear.

Alexa said...

Unknown said...

Very inspiring. But I wouldn't spend that much on either. Still, this gives me lots of ideas.

ivy's closet said...

Very interesting, indeed. It would be hard to choose.

The two shades definitely look almost identical. I love this style...I'll go ahead and be thrifty and go topshop on this one!

Jamie said...

I am kind of loving J.Brands colored denim line. I have been coveting the red jeans but I think I will have to take the red shorts instead!

I just realized I don't have nearly enough red clothing. I'll definitely think about buying the cheaper version.

BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

The J Brand's hue sucked me in!

Grace said...

Ooh, that's tough, since I love both of those brands! I guess I'd have to go with J Brand, though.

Unknown said...

Ooh In think I might have to check this out... Fab find!

M said...

Aren't you a life saver? I've been wondering lately where I can find a pair of red hot pants or denim cutoffs that don't break the bank... guess I just got my answer! Thanks a bunch doll!!!!

I would totally go for the topshop!

Shop N' Chomp said...

Love TopShop but those J Brands look so much better!

Sara said...

I am usually more of a high-waisted shorts girl, but that color and Top Shop? Yes please!

Pratishtha Durga said...

I love the color of the expensive ones. But I agree with "Lucy and Sarah". 50$ for the cheaper version ain't cheap either. Love them, but would gladly shop my own closet first.

Mani said...

Dear, we gave you a blogger award!

hugs and kisses by Mani & Antonia.

Magdalena said...

Love them both but I would definitely buy the Topshop ones..
