DIY HIGH WAIST SHORTS

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.

Budget-nista- (n) Someone who is highly fashionable, but shops smart. Great finds, for great prices.

That is my definition of a "Budget-nista", a word that I "tweaked" from Tyra Banks word, "Recessionista." Both words pretty much mean the same thing. I like to think of myself as a Queen of finding some of the best items for little to nothing! If it's not on sale, or clearance, I usually don't buy it unless its a quality item that I know will never go down in price, or if I'm splurging to treat myself every once in a while. There's no shame in that.

Last night, I took a trip to Walmart to pick up a few things, I don't usually go to Walmart for clothes, but as I was walking by the clothing section, I saw a couple great finds for amazingg prices. These items are perfect for the summer!

OP Double V Tank for $4.00, with matching OP Elastic Waist Shorts for $5.00.

These sets came in a range of different colors and patterns. I am obsessed with all things cheetah print so ofcourse I had to choose this set. This is perfect lounge wear around the house, or over a bathing suit.

Walmart also had really cute print & colored bikini swimsuits that I almost purchased. Here is one that I loved from the website.

its only $8.00/piece !!!!

I did not find the tank & shorts set on the website, but the bikini swimsuits are available online!!

Happy Shopping!
