DIY SEQUIN EMBELLISHED DENIM SHORTS

You need:

• Denim shorts (I made mine from vintage jeans I found)
• Sequin fabric
• Tracing paper
• Scissors
• Needle and thread
• Pins

How to:
1. You are going to do the embellishment in two different sections for each side of the shorts. First, lay the tracing paper on the top of one side of the shorts.

2. Use a pen to trace where you want the sequins to go and then cut out a pattern to match the front panel of the shorts.

3. Pin the pattern to the sequin fabric right side up.

4. Cut the piece of sequin fabric out. Repeat for the other side of the shorts so you have two pieces of sequin fabric.

5. Use your needle and thread to carefully sew the edges of the sequin fabric to the denim shorts – I ran along the edges to secure the sequins so they didn’t fall off where the fabric was cut. Do this for both pieces of sequin fabric, making sure to line up the middle seam carefully so there’s no gap.

6.  Cut a slit so the beltloops of the jeans can still be seen and then sew around to secure. If required, trim any excess sequins along the hem and waistline.

All done! Time to hit a festival, or the beach perhaps?

DRESS UP BABY BUMP

Hey Dolls,

Hope y'all are keeping up well. To all the expectant moms this is for you. Personally when i was preggers, playing dress up wasn't so fun at all times, considering that your body changes a lot. I understand it can be frustrating when each trimester requires slightly new duds. But the best advice i give you is don't stress, find something that is comfortable yet chic and stylish. Happy Mummy happy Baby. Here are a few Maternity wear tips.

Time to give your baby bump an edgy look.

CHIC BOYFRIEND PANTS

Hey my Loves

Hope you are all keeping warm. So, the boyfriend pants have definitely grown in popularity recently, and good thing they come in  various styles. But there's a key to pulling off the look. Here are few tips to get your chic and stylish boyfriend pants look.


THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF WEARING BOYFRIEND JEANS:

DO find jeans that fit you correctly. Boyfriend jeans are meant to be loose and roomy, but they should still fit in the waist. Make sure they are not too baggy! Look for a straight-leg style.

DO choose a pair that has a "worn-in" look. After all, the concept of "boyfriend jeans" is that you have, in theory, stolen your boyfriend's favorite pair of worn jeans and are wearing them around town--so they shouldn't look brand new!

.

DO pair the denim with a feminine shirt. It doesn't have to be tight-fitting, but something that has a girly aspect to it (frills, bright color, a fun pattern) will help balance out the masculinity of the pants

.

DON'T be scared to roll them up for a cropped look. They look great rolled and paired with everything from stilettos to flat sandals and ankle boots-a great look for any season!

.

DON'T go overboard with the "worn-in" look. A few holes and tears in the denim is part of the look, but too many rips makes it look sloppy. Find the happy medium.
