My style: DIYed shorts

I'm loving this "pull an idea out of a box" it has really helped me get over my rut and I'm discovering things in my closet that I forgot I had. Plus, I've been daydreaming about how I will put together different ideas for the site when they get pulled.

The most recent one I pulled was WEAR SOMETHING YOU DIYed and I immedately thought of these jean shorts I had just made. I have been having trouble finding shorts to wear lately they are either too short, too long, or tight in the thigh and big around the waist so when I saw a how-to on making shorts I knew I had to try it. I bought three pairs of pants: two jeans and one navy slacks (each for $1 at the thrift store!!!) and set to work. I love the way they turned out they aren't too tight or too loose. They are the perfect summer bottoms to add to my wardrobe. Well, I'm sure you've heard enough of me rambling so here are the pics.

In other news, my friend and I were downtown yesterday and were handed free tickets to see the new movie The Help tonight and so we went. She had been reading the book and coincidentally we were talking about the movie and how we wanted to see it on the way downtown. Let me just say the movie was VERY GOOD. I had expected it to be a good movie anout the racial differences then but they did such a great job with the story. And my friend said that the book was even better so I may have to pick that up as a quic read. How about you? Any plans to see the movie when it comes out? Or do you have any other books that are being made to movies that you can recommend?

Hope you're having a great week!
Lots of love,
