DIY boyfriend jeans

Finding the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans is HELL.
After about 2 years of searching, I gave up. there is no such thing as a pair that would fit by waist, butt and thighs...

Then I found these jeans at VV's Boutique (Value Village) and thought to myself: these would make the perfect boyfriend jeans.. if they were ripped more... and had a skinnier leg.... so for 5.99 they were mine for the crafting.

Before: 

 

1) turn the jeans inside out and put them on . Pin down the calves, keeping in mind you don't want skinny jeans! 

2) sew along the outside of the pins, I went over it twice to make sure it would hold. Put them on to make sure you didn't do something weird. 

3) snip snip !! Cut of the excess, leave about 1/4 inch of Jean past the stitches

 

4) Distress them. All it took to get these where I wanted was some sandpaper and some elbow grease.. Easy!! 

5) wear your fabulous new boyfriend jeans.

Fix That Frump

In the process of un-fcking my closet. I came across some things that were so frumpy and sad that I wondered why I ever wore it. See exhibit A:

Soooo... Because it's summer I decided to do a little update. Things you need:

1) frump-city tank/tee

2) pair of scissors

3) 2-5 minutes

Cut from the centre bottom halfway up.

And boom surfer chic cool.

Easiest diy ever that probably didn't need a tutorial but you know some people need it (myself).

DIY hair lightener

i have a huge problem with paying 12+ $$ for 'expert' hair lighteners.
so i made my own.
and it works .. REALLY WELL

You need:
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil ( to reduce damage)
1 cup hot water
an old spray bottle

combine and voila.

apply to damp hair and go outside in the sun.
except for if its shitty out or if you want results right meow.
then just set your hair dryer on high and blow dry your hair,
the heat will activate the lemon juice and lighten your hair.
