Coral outfit + DIY lace trim undershorts

I bought these shorts at TOPSHOP last week with my striped ones. ( I have so many pairs of shorts but i justify that by wearing them all year around !)
So i really liked this pale red/coral colour. They were super comfy as the material stretches ^^. SAM_2579e
I wanted to put some lace trimming on these shorts because they look really short on me.
But I didn’t want to accidentally ruin a brand new pair of shorts so instead I decided to make lace trim undershorts that I could wear under anything ^^ (similar to the ones in this post but they were too tight and too thick/warm to wear underneath in the HK summer)
So here is my mini tutorial:

tip: measure the trimming around your legs first! or else get elasticated lace trimming. my tights were patterned but any tights/stockings will do.

^ they add a little something to plain shorts =]
SAM_2616e
^ my face looks funny here o.O
It just so happened this stripy top was an exact colour match to my shorts =]. The over knee socks are actually cut off from the original tights so no material was wasted = double DIY ^_^
p.p.s. I am going to Hong Kong in 3 days !
can’t wait =)

    So clever! What a great idea! Never thought of that as I, too, have some shorts that are a wee bit too short for my liking.

    Major envy on your HK trip! Have tons of fun! Eat more and shop more!

    I love the shorts! They're the perfect coral colored pair of shorts that I've been trying to look for all summer. I love how you added the lace shorts underneath them too - they look even cuter with the lace peeking out ^^

    Ohmygosh you are so creative. I love the lace underneath the shorts, so cute. And you DIY came out so neat and stuff :O If I tried to do it, there'd be strings hanging out everywhere T^T

    I adore that coral colour as well! Coloured shorts for summer are the best trend so far :D

    Love,
