What I'm Making: Patch Pocket Shorts

I have been thinking of ways to expand things on my blog away from just DIY tutorials. I make so many more things than what I post in tutorials, many late at night or during non-optimal photo taking time. Or things that are so easy you don't need a tutorial. I am always inspired to make things I see in photos that I find around the internet, and not necessarily in tutorials. So I've decided to add a new section called "What I'm Making", in hopes that the photos I post will inspire you! So here it goes!

This summer I realized that I needed more shorts, well... more fashionable shorts. And jean shorts have never been more fashionable, especially cutoffs.

Some Inspiration: Styling Flower Crowns

Let me first point out that I am no professional flower crown maker nor an expert fashionista. But I do believe that I have the basics down in both areas. Earlier, I decided that I needed to jump on the the flower crown bandwagon and make some of my own. I totally scored at my local Michaels, where fake flowers were discounted to 80% off. I bought five bunches for less than one at regular price!

So here are the pretty little flower crowns that I made! I know they're probably not as good as others out there. I couldn't find a tutorial that I really liked, so I just did my own thing.

Now I would assume that some people have reservations about wearing a flower crown because they don't want to look crazy. I know I did. Here, I've put together some outfit inspiration and tips to make your flower crown standout without looking crazy (hopefully) this summer.
