DIY High Waisted Shorts


 Even though it isn't summer, it is never too early to start making shorts for the summertime! High waisted are a super easy and cheap way to be fashionable and comfortable during summer. Simply go to your local thrift stop to find the jeans. Look for "mom jeans", that have a long zipper in the front. Try on the shorts, and make sure they fit... but don't be scared if they look weird! One you get home, put the jeans on again, and mark with the pencil a line where you want to cut the jeans. To start off, cut longer than usual, because you can always cut off more if it is too long, but you can never add fabric after already cutting it off!! And seriously, you are done there!! If you want a more distressed look, you can easily YouTube or google how to distress the shorts. Usually jeans are about $2 at thrift shops, so this is a much alternative than the $60 shorts at Urban Outfitters!
