D.I.Y: High-Waisted Shorts

I’ve always wanted to create a pair of high-waisted shorts, but up until recently, I never really knew the proper technique to use. Luckily, one of my good friends is a D.I.Y. guru, and she told me how to make them.
The first thing I decided to do was hit up a local thrift store near my house and get a pair of men’s denim jeans. I opted for men’s jeans instead of “mom” jeans because it was the easiest way (for me) to insure that the pants I bought would be high-waisted. Once I had my jeans, I put them on and decided how short I wanted to cut them. Initially, I made them a little long because I didn’t want to cut them too short and completely ruin them. Then, after the first cut, I tried the shorts on and made adjustments to them until they fit how I wanted them to.
I’ve been thinking about studding them, or maybe distressing them, but I’m not sure yet. Ultimately, I’m really happy with my results, and Im so excited that I have my first pair of high-waisted shorts!

Much Love!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I ate everything in site! I just wanted to come an do a quick outfit of the day post. I'm continuously trying to evolve my style and I just wanted to come and share. I wore this on Thanksgiving in Michigan and I was actually surprised by how nice the weather was that day. I was actually able to get away with just wearing my black cardigan and my  cranberry circle scarf! I was also really excited because I found this cool shirt in my granny's closet. She wasn't going to wear it, so I stole it! Oh, and I cut the collar off because I liked it better that way.
