Restyled Denim

Tuesday, July 10, 2012


Peplum: H&M ($15) (similar)
Buffalo by David Bitton Denim: Loehmann's (similar here)
Heels: Marshalls (also here)
Necklace: Target ($7) 
Gucci Sunglasses










These jeans were my first "designer" jeans ever. 
I was elated when I left the store with these and they quickly became my favorite jeans. After about 8 years, I still held onto them even though they weren't my style anymore. I decided to restyle the flared baggy jeans into sleek skinny jeans. I simply sewed the inside hem in a few inches, to be the exact fit I wanted, then trimmed the newly sewn hem. Sadly, I didn't take a before picture, so just imagine baggy flared Laguna Beach-esque jeans.
I dressed them up a bit with this gorgeous peplum (on clearance), my favorite nude studded heels, and a lovely agate necklace. Perfect outfit for a coffee date with my husband!

Thank you for reading!

    that is such a great idea! I can't tell you how many pairs of designer "flared" jeans I own from back in the day that I don't wear right now b/c they're not in style. I'd love to get them back in rotation so I'm totally going to figure out how to do this! xo
