DIY.


I desperately needed a pair of cutoffs, and thus I decided to transform some old flares into a pair of distressed shorts a l'alexander wang. Here's what the finished product looks like:



I think I may have overdid the fringing a little bit...but here they are on their first trip out!





( F21 shirt, DIY shorts, Jeffery Campbell sandals )

sorry for the lack of exciting footwear, I tried to keep the number of pairs of shoes I brought to Shanghai to a minimum - I also tried to pick shoes that would be conducive to lots of walking - thus I left all of my heels at home!

    You totally have me hungry for making a pair of shredded shorts this summer! :)

    The Sams aren't that hard to walk in after all. I really thought they would be. They are really quite comfortable.
