Hi All,

For Throwback Thursday I have some cute shorts!

Mom made these for me two summers ago! Aren’t they adorable!

They are from this Kwik Sew K3854 pattern- view B

They fit so well! I think these were made in a side medium, and I remember something about mom taking the leg in a little bit.

I LOVE these so much! and I’ve been wearing them quite a bit this summer- they are just so fun!

I love that they have a bit of a vintage nautical feel- and they fit really well!

Even in the bum- which can be a tricky area for shorts lol!

I love the set of triple buttons as the front fastening and the way the connect with the pocket!

Beautiful gold buttons!!!

And they are actually 100% functioning buttons- not just for show- and to add a little extra fastening power, mom added a little hook and eye further down to make sure the pockets didn’t gape when I sit down.

These shorts have been such a summer staple for me 🙂 They really class-up such a short pair of shorts!

Have you made yourself any wardrobe staples that you’ve been living in this summer? – these are definitely mine!

Although I didn’t make them myself- thanks mom 🙂 <3

Hope you’re having a great Thursday!
