Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I updated, however, I'm coming back with a DIY post, and I know how much you all love DIY posts. These shorts were made literally in like 1 hour. My friend and I were going out to a party and we wanted to create a quick look. We actually went shopping at first, but decided that we didn't want to spend too much money, so we hit one of our favorite thrift stores in Chicago. I bought these Old Navy "Mom" jeans for $4.99 ! I'm a Budgetnista for a reason! I got inspired by Miley Cyrus actually, because she always wears really cute shorts, so I decided to cut them on an angle and create fringe for a kool "inspired" look. They actually came out really great, and are now one of my favorite pairs of shorts created by me. I've DIYd almost 10 pairs of shorts and these are in my Top 5.
I styled them with a bodysuit I purchased in NYC, from a small store. Playsuits or (bodysuits) are my favorite thing to pair with high waist shorts! They create a great look! You can purchase some really affordable and chic bodysuits from American Apparel, and Ebay. American Apparel is more pricey than Ebay, but search all over the internet for deals. This is how I styled the high waist shorts for the party I was heading to!
Tell me what you think about how they came out!

Love the way you frayed them! I usually do it with the edge of a pair of scissors. Great DIY!
