DIY cropped denim 101

Next seasons trends are "springing" in with full force and with just a simple snip of your scissors you can update those 'bleh' jeans wasting away in the back of your closet instead of throwing them out.  Save your cash and spare those landfills of your unwanted denim because this spring is all about mixing up casual denim with more luxe items like leather or pumps.

So dust off those jeans and grab:
-a ruler or measuring tape
-piece of chalk
-some sturdy scissors

First: Slip on your jeans and mark on both legs with your chalk where you want to cut... I recommend about an inch to 1"1/2 above your ankle bone
Second: Take your measuring utensil and lightly mark a straight line all the way across the pant legs
Third: Snip away!
Last: Run your fingers along the freshly cut edge and pull the threads to create a frayed effect

Simply style with pointed pumps for effortless street style and voila! You'll look fresh out of a fashion mag!
