The best-cheapest-most-environmentally-friendly-personalized way to get new clothes is to first fancy up your old ones. Here's a great tutorial on how to make the perfect pair of cut offs shorts. It also shows you how to add a lace cutout to shorts with just a little hand sewing and some scissors. By the way, if you ever sew or tinker with sewing or want to tinker with sewing, buy a good pair of fabric scissors, and save them just for fabric. Never use them to cut through paper--it's a fast way to dull them to oblivion (paper is wood, after all). A good pair of fabric scissors just makes your work more enjoyable, which makes it feel less like work. Anyways, I love lace (obviously). So I made a pair of these lacey shorts. Here's how it went:
In the end, I really like how they turned out, though I wish I had made the cut offs just a little shorter in the first place. I may have to do it all over again so I can cut them to a more flattering length, but it was so easy that a redo doesn't really bother me.
