DIY Peace Sign Shorts

So, I decided to get a little creative and try my hand at personalizing a pair of shorts I rarely wear.

I consider myself a "hippie-at-heart", I absolutely love anything flowy, 1970's, suede, and of course anything with peace signs on it (done tastefully, of course!).

All I did to make these shorts, was to draw a peace sign on cardboard, using an exacto knife, I cut it out, taped the little insides spaces to my shorts, and placed the cardboard with a circle cut-out on top and a piece of paper on the inside of my shorts (in case of the spray paint went through the denim). I then took it outside, found a earthy colored spray paint, and... spray painted, I guess. It's not the greatest, but I didn't want the edges to be really defined, I actually enjoy the roughness and uneveness of it.

I would wear the shorts with something a little more simple. I paired it with my favorite, strapless green top, and my cowgirl boots I bought in Japan. The only problem with my shirt was that it covered up the peace sign, so I would also opt for something a little shorter in length. 

I also experimented with nail polish again. I found this beautiful, "beachy" pink and immediately fell in love. Once I painted my nails, I ran across these floral nail stickers, that were supposed to have sparkles on jewels on them, but they ended up falling off. So I just took a sparkly nail polish and painted over the stickers, then used a top coat to finish it off! On my fingernails, I did a french manicure for the first time, and ended up using to more of the floral nail stickers on my thumbs. Classy on my fingernails and party on my toenails.
