Cuff your Pants -- Show your Heels

The previous post is on rolling your jeans, or "Boyfriend Jeans".  Then when perusing my latest, In Style, I saw this great pic of cuffed pink pants, with a kind of sheen, and wow, I just have to do that.  I have a pair of black sateenish (not a word) pants I am going to roll, and iron, so they have that super crips look, and pair with heels or flats, and a crisp white shirt.  Can't wait.

Make your clothes work for you.  Use what you have.

DIY Boyfriend Jeans - DIY Capri Pants

Cuff your jeans!!  Make DIY Boyfriend Jeans, or DIY some no sew Capri Pants

As the days get hotter, the pants get shorter.  I don't always feel like a dress or shorts, but some comfortable boyfriend jeans or capri pants will do the trick.  You can DIY these so easy.  It is also called the 50's cuff.  Best part is no damage to the pant.

Take any pair of jeans or pants/slacks you want.  These are loose, and have a wider leg than I like, so they are perfect.

To make the leg thinner pinch in the middle in the front.

Then roll.

 Then roll again.

 And I rolled again.

Like I said this makes a killer loose fit boyfriend jean.  Or again, if you have a thin slack and want a capri, just roll.

Use what you have, and be a repeat/rewear offender.  It is great for the budget.

Sorry for the lack of posts, will get back to my regular posting.  Summer, what can I say. Wish I was doing something fun, but I feel like I am just running in circles.  What are you waiting for cuff some jeans.

Ghost Chairs and a Rustic Table

A while back I found some folding ghost chairs at Goodwill for $10 a chair.  Wanting to find some inspiration for their use, I looked to the dining room.

They have found a home at my daughter's house.  She was replacing her 1950's inspired table, and wanted something a little more eclectic.  They look darling or dahhhhling in her house.  These pictures were taken at my house prior to transport.

Repurpose, reuse, reimagine something today.
