OOTD: Floral Fall Navy









Top: Designs and sewn by me, fabric Walmart and old shirt, $3
Jeans: Walmart: $14
Shoes: Charlotte Russe clearance, $13

I just finished this top. I've been making quite a few top using this method. (Tutorial coming soon) You can't really tell from the pictures, but I left slits up the side. I've seen a lot of tops like this, with the longer hem line and side slits.
Thanks for reading!

OOTD: Forest Green Crochet Coral






Skirt: Target via secondhand and DIYed
Top: Walmart clearance, $3
Sandals: Target clearance, $14

Once again I'm wearing a longer pencil skirt. I can't help it! I got this top at Walmart for $3, and it is one of the most comfortable shirts I own. I will probably use this shirt for a pattern in the future. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

DIY: Lace Accent Shorts (Not Super Short)



I'm a big fan of these shorts with lace detail, that I've been seeing all over Pinterest. I've noticed that they are mostly super short, so I decided to make a longer version. Here's how it went. 


First, I laid a vintage table cloth over my shorts (pants that I cut), and cut out the shape I needed to cover half the shorts....


...and for the back pocket. Then I pinned them both and sewed them down using the zig zag stitch on my machine, and also needle and thread.  






I serged around the bottom edge of the shorts, try them on and roll the hem twice. 


I safety pinned the hem, took them off, and sewed the sides down. 




And that's it! I really like how they turned out. The lace kind of tends to rip around the edges, but I like the grunge-y, falling apart look. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
