rustic hues

{do} redesign old clothes 

 FOREVER21 SHIRT (old), ARK & CO. ZIG ZAG SHORTS via South Moon Under, STELLA & DOT BANGLES / NECKLACE, ASOS CHEVRON RING, ZIGI SOHO SANDALS, NYLA SATCHEL (seen here), THRIFTED BELT, RAY BAY AVIATORS

here, i brightened up some old pieces with some more up-to-date styles.  i bought these shorts last week at South Moon Under at the Spicy Candy DC/SMO Look Book launch party, which was a total blast by the way.  meeting Nylon magazine's style editor at large + style guru, Dani Stahl, was definitely a highlight of the night, but it also really ended up being a super successful shopping venture. (if you follow me on instagram you saw that i got quite a few things!)  these shorts were among them, and their rustic color pallet and missoni-esque, chevron pattern are initially what caught my eye.  i decided to stick to neutrals pairing them with this old tunic, which i redesigned in to a crop top with the help of a pair of a good pair of scissors. this is exactly what i had envisioned for my new cropped shirt ~ on top of some sort of high waisted bottom.  (maybe one day i'll get crafty and do a DIY post on how to cut your own shirts) colored jewels and turquoise detailing on this belt added little pops of color right where it was needed.    

it's however apparently winter again in DC, so i don't know if i will be in shorts again anytime soon.  today i'm wearing a sweater coat and boots :(
