DIY Lace Trim Shorts

Denim shorts will always be in style nowadays however, you won't just find plain denim shorts. There are tonnes of variation, printed denim shorts or denim shorts with printed pockets or lace pockets. I have yet to find a decently priced pair that I like so I decided to make my own. I used a pair of shorts that have gotten a little to short for me, and I haven't been able to wear recently. I thought I could add lace to the bottom, making it look longer, so I can wear them again. I actually had the lace lying around my house, but you can easily find some at your local fabric store.

Step 1: Measure & cut the amount of lace you will need to go around both legs, front and back

Step 2: Sew lace onto shorts (be sure to sew it from the inside out)

Lace Me Up!

 Lace is such a romantic fabric- just adding a little will give a sweet touch to any outfit. 

Here are some lovely examples of the variety of lace designs & colors worn today:

          The Perfect Birthday Outfit. I don’t know about you guys but every year on my birthday, I’m faced with the same question: “What do I wear?” And whether you’re going out at night, having a relaxed birthday dinner with friends, or just simply getting together with family- there will definitely be pictures taken. Looking back on these photos should be fun, but if you don’t feel good in what you’re wearing then you won’t look good and it’s all downhill from there. So here’s a post devoted to what I, Jasmine (Co-Creator of fashiontakemyheart), wore for my special day and how it worked for me.

Call It Spring Polakis Wedges

          This year I decided to go to NYC for a Cirque Du Soleil show and going to Manhattan insures a good amount of walking, so the right footwear is key. Generally, when putting together an outfit I go by a simple rule: Pick the shoes you want to wear so they can guide your look. Though the shoes I had in mind didn’t scream, “Great for walking!”, the Call It Spring Polakis wedge sandals were perfect for this occasion. Originally 50 bucks, I got them on sale for $39.95 at JCPenney. And not only does the added height on a wedge elongate your legs but it gives any look a more stylized feel.
