No Jorts

                      Here's the outcome of my latest DIY project.



JORTS!
I  think the real (and maybe only) trick to making a great pair of jean shorts is to have a great pair of jeans! 


I poked around quite a few blogs for information and DIY tips on making jean shorts and thought I had gleaned all the pertinent information.


 Off I went to the thrift store and found a pair of dark wash jeans in a larger size so I didn't have the edge of the jean pinching into my thigh and also so they gave off a more relaxed look.



Pretty simple, huh?

Well, I think that my execution is just fine. I think I'm just not happy with the overall fit and that is only due to the jean choice.
So, a word of wisdom when making jorts; only use a pair of jeans that you look gorgeous in. And if you do, then you'll have yourself a great pair of jorts.


Jeans: Talbots-thrifted
Shirt: J.Crew-thrifted
Shoes: Converse-thrifted

    I think your jorts turned out great! My pair of DIY shorts was made from my first pair of designer jeans, and my favorite pair of denim to date... so I definitely agree that the key to flattering jorts is an amazing pair of jeans to start with!
