shants are neither shorts nor pants!
make way for Otto's summer wardrobe! he's got a drawer-full of size 2T pants that still fit but might not by autumn. and the kid needs short pants. stat. it's freakin summer in Tucson, dudes. so instead of shopping, today i converted 3 pairs of pants into 3 different kinds of shants. save money! look cool!
the simple shant...
the preppy shant...
ok, so i took enough pics of these cuffed shants to do a tutorial. but wasn't sure if anyone would want/need it? ps. these ones are my fave! the little doggy fabric is like the cutest thing that ever happened.
and finally, punk rock shants!
give child a power drill. get concerned when he likes the power drill way too much.
for reals though. these little punk rock pants were the best find to begin with. they're "le top" and i'm sure they would have been $50 new but we found them at the thrift store for $3! Ot wore them all fall, winter, spring and now he can wear them as shants all summer. none too shabby for three bucks!
productive tuesday! what do you think of the shants? i love it when guys (like grownup guys) wear their pants like this with flip-flops or slip-ons. Ot'll rock the shants all summer and then if they still fit in fall we'll just throw some baby legs under there. whoa. these could be the pants that never end. but i kinda doubt it. he's growing like a weed lately. but i don't wanna talk about that. cuz it makes me all bittersweet for that little dude whose legs were too short for all these pants not too long ago.
xo,
Lindsey
