The Cut-off

June 18, 2012

Welcome to the denim shorts mini-series! This week is all about cut-offs and diy projects.  In fact, all the shorts in the up coming posts are actually the same pair.  This series has been in the works for about 2 weeks, but it made the most sense to post all of the projects back-to-back.

This first project is super basic.  I used an old pair of Gap jeans and just cut them.

Cut-offs…the easiest way to add to your summer wardrobe!

Some tips to consider: use a looser pair of pants…skin-tight shorts aren’t very flattering!  If you’re not sure about the length you want, it’s better to cut it longer than shorter…you can always snip off more later, but once you cut, that’s it!

I really had to restrict myself, too…I wanted to distress these shorts (like I did to this skirt!)  Tomorrow I’ll show you what I did next to these cut-offs…make sure to stick around!

    I just cut off a pair of my shorts too! Love these! I’m always impressed when ladies manage to make a pair of jean shorts look dressy. Love this outfit!

    The cut-offs are great, but I love how you styled them with that shirt and a powerful lip. Way to dress up a summer basic. Glad to find your blog via Monday Mingle today.
