I'll start at the beginning.
The year was 1998. (I'm pretty sure of this.) I was starting up sewing lessons and given free reign over the entire fabric store to choose something appropriate for my first official class project, the drawstring bag. Naturally, I chose this periwinkle butterfly print twill; unabashedly 90's mall girl.
Of course, I couldn't stop there. I had to have this sweet print in each colour available so I went for the hot pink as well.
Fourteen years later, I made a pair of shorts.
Yes, when I wear these the first place my mind goes is the wall of butterfly hair clips at Claire's, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Wore them to do some gardening, because they needed a wash anyway. Who'd have thought there would be so many opportunities to wear pink butterfly shorts?
Wait. Obviously, my sixth-grade self.
haha cute! I love it! The make the perfect gardening shorts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I was hoping they'd attract some real live butterflies, but it's a no so far. :(
DeleteOh my gosh, I haven't thought about those butterfly clips for YEARS! I had a white glittery one, wore it ALL the time haha! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes I had many! hahaha... actually, I bet I still have some stashed away somewhere. Uh oh.
DeleteI'm with Lena, I had forgotten about those butterfly clips too! And the occasional dragonfly. If you were fancy, your butterfly clip moved when you walked ... you know, to look more real.
ReplyDeleteThese shorts are so adorable and I can see them with so many outfits! I love the scale of the print for mix-matching!
Um, those moving butterflies and dragonflies sound RAD & I am quite obviously jealous.
DeleteThanks for the compliment! Love the idea of doing them with more prints!
They are super cute!
