4th of July Outfit- jean cutoffs and star tank

So in addition to painting my nails I wanted to have a cute 4th of July outfit that was comfortable enough to be in all day.  I love what I ended up making.  It was very cheap and looks adorable.  The shorts are made from a pair of jeans I got at Goodwill for $3.50, the tank top was $3.97 at Walmart and then the fabric was .97 cents as I used a fat quarter for it.  I apologize for the horrible pictures, I was trying to take them myself and you can only get so good of picture in the mirror.

Here is the front of my outfit.  I distressed the shorts in the front and cuffed them up.  For the tank I cut some rough stars out that I sewed on in a random pattern using a zig zag stitch.

I covered the pockets with the fabric as well.  Biggest pain to get the rivet out so that I could cover the pockets but worth it :)

and the stars.  As you can see I was rough with my stars and rough with the stitching, I didn’t want it to look like perfect little stars.

I loved how this outfit turned out and am so excited to wear it tomorrow!
