Today I finished sewing a pair of shorts. I made the shorts out of a crazy print fabric and wanted to show you two different ways I like to style patterned shorts.
This is the pattern I used to make the shorts. It was a pretty easy and straight forward pattern to follow but it took me some time to figure out how to sew the fly.
New Look 6878 (E)

Worn with:
Black T-shirt
Black Belt
Black Watch
Black Dr Martens
2 Silver Necklaces
I choose a black t-shirt because the shorts have black on them, also to tone down the bright colour. I wore a black belt because I feel like this style of shorts need to be worn with a belt. Following the belt and shoe rule I wore my black boots. I did this mainly because I didn't want to add anymore colours in to the outfit. I wore my favourite silver necklaces to break up the solid black and to match the silver buckle on my belt

Worn with:
Orange cropped T-shirt
Brown Belt
Brown Boots
Gold Watch
This outfit is more monochromatic. With this look I kept it quite simple because of the orange top, I didn't want to add any necklaces or bracelets as I felt like the outfit would be to over the top if i did. I paired it with a brown belt and boots because black would have been to strong against the solid orange t-shirt
