Am I the only one that is ready for the summer time? I mean,
don’t get me wrong, I love the multi-colored scarves and thigh high boots for
winter time, but I’m ready to show some much needed skin! I’ve been so antsy
for the warmer seasons that I went out to my local thrift store and picked up
three pair of high waist jeans for about 8 bucks!
With these
jeans, I decided to get my creative juices flowing and make some cool cut off
shorts. Now like I said prior, I purchased 3 pair of jeans, but I’m only
showing you 2 because I TRIED it with the first pair! I would never wear them,
their too short and I made too many holes, I would literally be ASSED out!
Anyhoo, I am
going to give you a step on step guide on how to create a GREAT pair of high
waist cut off shorts. What I really love about this trend is, anyone can wear
these, lean or plus size, you just have to find the correct fit for your body
type and just go with the flow.
First Step
Find a pair of jeans that sit up to your waist, the crotch part will be really low, and the pockets will be really high (mom jeans).
Second Step
Next, try on the jeans and with a pen, mark how long or
short you want your jeans to be. Also make sure you make a mark in the back by
your butt crease, so that you know where to STOP if you get a little scissor
happy.
Third Step
Get a really sharp pair of scissor and start to cut from the
outside in. My opinion, don’t cut straight, cut going upward a little, this
will make your shorts look more like shorts you buy at the store, if that makes
sense.
Fourth Step
Try them on again, make sure they are to your liking and
take them off again. Now you begin making the fringe look on your shorts. I didn’t
use a razor, sand paper, knife, or anything like that. I just cut little lines
in my jeans, about a half an inch apart. Once you do all of that, wash the
shorts and VIOLA you have some cute, high waist shorts!
I hope you guys enjoyed this and try this cute trend when it
gets hot enough! See ya later!
