Hope yall are are up for a funny story this morning! So the other day I was prepping for a campaign shoot for a client. I came across these bad ass hand-dyed lavendar shorts and instantly knew I had to buy the last pair that was available. Just my luck..happens that the last pair available was 2 sizes too small for me but bought em anyways… what the heck its only 2 sizes right? WRONG!
After a near death experience of trying to get these shorts over my hips.. all of a sudden I see (in slow motion) the jeans ripping from bottom up. And what is that? A Leopard underlay? ummm no …say hello to my leopard cotton panties. I completely & accidently ripped these jeans in the worst way possible. Instantly I knew this would make a great DIY project (inspired by Balmain).
Sometimes you can turn Trash into treasures. Once a pair of trashy, underwear exposing, short shorts…NOW they are a pair of safety pin-embellished, rip-effect, distressed cutoffs! Do you have any jeans, shorts, or shirts that are already ripped up or possibly needs a little pick-me-up? Try doing what I did and turn your Trash into Treasures!
Love,
Chriselle

Hey Chriselle,
You know what! I also bought a skinny jeans from ASOS. It was a size smaller and i could not button it up. I cut open the sides and sewed extra jean cloth of a lighter denim shade onto it. It looks so trendy after that. Maybe you can sew a floral print behind the tore up part? It will look damn cool. Own personalise shorts!
stunning

Wow, do they still fit? xD
I tried to turn a pair of old jeans into a denim corset..I still have to sew it up. Those lavender shorts are awesome! Great find!
I think the golden safety pin would look better
will definitely buy some golden pins next time

that sounds like a great idea! will keep that in min next time around when I rip my next pair of jeans. haha xoxo
THank you ashley <3
ohhhh that sounds super cute too ..the floral print design is perfect for the spring too!! xoxo
Wow I always thought you were a size 0!! Not saying you look emaciated or anything (lol), but you always look so darn fabulous. Awesome knowing you don’t have to be a size 0 to look as stunning if not better than the celebs in magazines! Yay for being healthy!! Hurrah
