I am always inspired by other brands and companies. I love good, well made pieces. Unfortunately, I cannot afford high end all the time>> and so begins the journey of making things yourself, while using that inspiration. I wanted to offer these shorts at a much affordable price. Free People are selling this look for $88.00. I'm selling my version of this trend for $12.99. Either way, I love this lace detailing. I think it adds a little delicacy to the rough denim fabric.
