Vintage Throwback: the High-waisted shorts

 Looks like high-waisted shorts have made a come back! These vintage pieces have made a successful return to the fashion scene. Celebrities like Whitney Port, Miley Cyrus, and Lauren Conrad have been sporting these versatile bottoms. They can be worn on any occasion, from window shopping with friends or date night with the boyfriend.



Casual

 

Formal



 If you love these shorts as much as I do and want to own a pair of your own, heed my warning. This is one of situations where thrift shopping is probably a BIG mistake. High wasted shorts you find in thrift shop truly are vintage rather than just vintage-styled. Vintage-styled high-wasted shorts that are manufactured today are designed to avoid the "wedgie effect" while actual vintage shorts tend to hide in your butt.

You do NOT want to go out in public looking like this do you?!?!



Caution: If shorts were not designed to be high-wasted PLEASE don't try and yank them up your body!

Stores like Forever 21 and Wet Seal have been racking up their shelves with this new fashion trend!

 My pair cost $25, and they were worth every penny. They don't ride up, are super comfortable, and match most of my shirts

Cute Sweetheart Bow T-shirt

This shirt is one of my latest DIY creations. This Sweetheart Bow tee looks adorable with a high-wasted plain black skirt. It took me about 2 hours to make because I hand sewed the entire thing, but if you are lucky enough to have a working sewing machine at your disposal, this project should only take about 45 minutes or less.

Materials Needed for this Fun Project:

* 2 t-shirts (I used a Walmart medium polka-dot tee and an XL white tee for the bow) ~ $8

* Transparent nylon sewing thread ~ $2 (for an entire spool)



Approximate Total Cost: $10
