This week I am going to be featuring the Top 5 SuMmEr TrEnDs!!! Along with an easy how to get that look tutorial, so you can join in on the trends while stashing cash in your wallet!
To start of our count I am featuring the cut-off, denim, short! They are a must-have staple in your wardrobe this summer! Don't fret if you feel you are too old (which your not) to pull this trend off! The good thing is at the end of this feature I will give you step by step instructions on how to create your own, so instead of a cut-off mini short you can make a cut-off board short which is great for any age or size!
Here's a little preview of how the celebs are rocking this killer look!
So if you are thinking you might want to participate in this new, rockin', fad but not quiet sure how to make a pair of cut-offs let me tell ya how to go about creating this look on your own!
First things first, you need to raid your closet or local thrift store for a pair of old, worn-out, denim, jeans. Try them on and make sure they fit just like you like 'em!
Once you have found THE jeans, put them on and mark with a safety pin where exactly you would like the length to be on the outside and inside seam. Now that you have determined the length take the jeans of and lay them out flat. If they are super wrinkled you might want to run over them with an iron to knock out the wrinkles.
Now take a ruler and pencil (in case you mess up it will wash out) and mark a straight line using your ruler and pencil from the outer seam pin to the inner seam pin. For the other leg just measure the distance on the outer seam from the top of the jean to the line and the inner seam and repeat this step to insure a straight cut. Once you are through drawing your lines on both legs of the jeans try them on one last time to make certain of the length. (If by some chance you want to change the line just remark and repeat the above steps. The pencil mark will wash out once you wash them.)
Finally, take three safety pins per leg and pin just above the pencil line. This will ensure while cutting that the jeans won't move and mess up the cut. Now it's time to cut across the pencil line. Once you have completed cutting throw in the washer to fray. Now you have your own pair of cut-off shorts!
For those of you who are extra crafty and like to live on the edge a little such as myself here's a few other things you can do to your cut-offs to add a little umph!
Add studs or bling to accent your jeans and give that little extra touch!
You can also mix up different color fabric dyes or bleach and spray them on to make a GrOoVy pair of tye-dye Shorts!
So this is today's feature trend now go rummage through your old jeans and get started!!! Until tomorrow...XOXO Megan
