DIY: What a Difference a Couple Buttons Make!

I have a pair of black shorts that I have never worn because they needed an extra something.  As you can see from the picture below they are very simple with a world of outfit possibilities.   I was in my local craft store this weekend and noticed there was a sale on buttons.  All of them were 50% off the marked price!  I quickly thought about what I could use buttons for and the black shorts came to mind.  I picked up a couple options, took them home, and decided on the vintage looking ones.  I very carefully cut the old buttons off, sewed the new ones on with a needle and thread, and viola!  Instant update.  This entire project cost me $1.40 for the buttons and a little bit of my time on Sunday.  I can't wait to wear these!  Happy Monday Everyone.

  2. How great are you!? I don't even think about simple things like this and even when I do, I am always far too lazy to sit down and actually get the job done. The new buttons are much much better!
