Verano

Last week while home to celebrate my graduation (hooray), I wandered into my mother's denim drawer. Lo and behold, there were a pair of Express jeans that I wore in the 10th grade...Being that it is already intolerable in central Florida (que calor!!) I decided to grab a pair of scissors. Shoulda spared a few inches, cause I found myself in a DAISY DUKES DISASTER. woah girl.

I thought, "surely I could find some trim and add a couple inches this scandal!" Well, some people had already beat me to it...

Urban Outfitters


and some stylish ladies online...

Entonces, I grabbed some black lace and started my denim revamp. I flipped the (now) shorts inside out, pinned the trim about a 1/4 inch from the edge
and sewed as close to the edge as I could. Voila!
The seam is far from perfect, but I don't care. They don't call denim "destroyed" for nothin'. So don't fret - try it with a floral print, let the pockets peek out, whatev. Go make yourself some new shorts, it's too damn hot outside!
Happy Summer!

  1. You are so crafty! Thanks for the step by step and the online fashion research for ladies like me who are clueless. How awesome is this post!

    There should be more of these. It's like a fun lady tip. Who doesn't want to be able to create hot, fresh looks from clothes we already own? Who doesn't want to be able to sew something awesome without it being too hard? Who doesn't want to answer those "Where did you get that?" questions with, "Oh, I made this"? Loved this post.
