DIY Bermuda Shorts

This is kind of a lame tutorial since it is pretty obvious what you need to do.  You start out with a pair of pants that you just don't like the length of.  Mine were given to me free by a friend and since they were a petite size, they were way to short.

Fold your pants in half and make sure both legs are lined up exactly.  I cut just below the knee which gave me plenty of fabric to roll four times.  The more times you roll the material up the leg, the more secure it will be.

There you have it, a new pair of bermuda shorts!

Memorial Day

Shirt: Walmart - $1.00, DIY Shorts: FREE, Shoes: Random Store - $5.00, Hat: Dollar Tree - $1.00

Our Memorial Day weekend consisted of a trip to the lake, being ate up by mosquito's (I won't be wearing shorts for awhile!), spending time with family and friends, drinking way too much Captain (which had major consequences), walking into a store at the mall AND actually coming out with something, watching 'The Nanny' with my co-pilot Macy, and last but not least, getting Birthday wishes from everyone I love.

The Office Quote of the Day

You guys are my best friends.  And I mean that.  Managing you for this last week has been the greatest honor of my life.  Any if you ruin this, I will burn this office to the ground.  And I mean that figuratively, not literally.  Because you guys are so, so important to me.  I love you guys, but don't cross me, but you're the best.

Dress:  Thrifted - $1.99, Skirt:  Thrifted - $1.99, Belt:  Thrifted - $0.99, Shoes:  Target

Yep, 2 posts in 1 day!  As my friend Amber would say....Woot! Woot! 

While Danny was mowing and I was "supposed" to be getting the food ready to grill, I decided to do an impromptu dress up.  My top is actually a dress that I sewed a little too small for me so it shows way too much of my curves.  Instead of starting all over or throwing it away, I threw an oversized skirt over it.  I normally play it safe with all my outfits so this isn't exactly my style but it's still fun to play around.

Blurry

Sweater:  Kohls, Dress:  NY&C, Shoes:  JCPenney

How is it possible for a picture to come out blurry when it is sitting on a deck rail?  Was there an earthquake right at that moment, which caused the deck to shake?  It will always be a mystery to me.

On another note, after I saw this picture, I realized that I really didn't like the frumpyness of the sweater so I switched it out for a white blazer.  That's one of the perks from taking a picture every morning....you can see what works and what doesn't.  You would be surprised at how different you look in a camera vs. the mirror.  Kind of scary!

Birthday Present

Danny texted me this morning and said "I gotta good idea for your birthday.  Do you want me to take you clothes shopping?"  In which I replied "Yes!!!!!!!!!  Yes!!!!!!!!". 

For you to really understand the magnitude of this gift is to understand how Danny feels about shopping.  He loathes shopping.  Well, he loathes spending money!  Yep, he is one of the reasons I started this blog.  I knew it would make him happy that I was no longer spending so much on my shopping addiction.

I can't even explain how excited I am to browse stores that I haven't been in for months.  Now, on to making my wish list for our shopping trip.
