Refashion w/ New Look 6915

With summer in full effect, hot days & the office dress code relaxed casual... its time for me to rock some bermuda shorts.  I have several pairs of fit flared pants that I purchased from the Loft last year, but sadly, once I got home & tried them on, I wasn't really feeling the look on me & too lazy to return them.  The fit part was ok, but the flared leg design was just too exaggerated and remember from someone's fashion blog that all Fit Flared pants are not created equal. 


So these pants were the perfect candidate for refashioning.  Last night I went into refashion mode, which was easy peasy, tried on the pants, marked where I wanted to cut (just below the knees), cut, serged raw edges, and hemmed (cut a 1-1/2" strip of interfacing, ironed above the fold line of the hem and hand stitched the raw edge to the interfacing).... Finito.

I paired the shorts with New Look 6915 (circa 2010), which is a sheer poly and donned a brown cotton cami underneath.

 This pattern has become a TNT ...  when I want an easy breezy look & instant gratification NL6915 is it. 

I have a lil NL6915 collection in versions B & D

and topped off the ensemble with my latest shoe purchase from

Nine West, the Fauna Peep Toe Wedge

(Nine West has a great sale going on buy one get the 2nd @ 50% off)

 I have several more items that needs refashioning, a few more fit & flared pants and a few suits that will become short-sleeve/bermuda short sets.... so until then

 Enjoy the rest of the week
