For the second denim D.I.Y., I customized a pair of MINKPINK Slasher shorts for their Suped Up Slashers contest. My inspiration was the Southwest, and admittedly, I went wild using bold colors and mixed prints. First I sewed fabric on one side and then lined the edges with studs. Then I sewed the red print trim to the side seams and above the back yoke for added contrast and visual interest. I used a few extra studs near the pockets and a colorful belt for the final touches.
I styled the shorts with the usual suspects (ankle boots, a fringe handbag, and my favorite rings) along with a top that I scored on sale at Zara. Is my Southwest inspiration apparent enough?
Like what I did with my shorts? Well you can vote for it on MINKPINK's Facebook page.
