Jeans - Miss Sixty [London, 06]
Double Layered Top - Uni Style [Delhi, 06']; Necklace - Gift [Mom, 10']
Shoes - Nine West [08']; Sunnies - Ray Bans [Stolen from Brother]
I had removed and put these jeans in the 'spring-cleaning-pile'. I was really done with them. That's when I saw several bloggers [I apologize I forgot to save the links but I will surely try and reference the bloggers as soon as I find their posts!] who had cut their jeans and converted them into shorts. Hence, 'Jorts'! ... I remember shredding all my old jeans into shorts back in high school days. However, I had absolutely forgotten about this fantastic phenomena which helps you get more life out of your denims before you truly wave good bye to them!
So what do you think? Do they work? Or should I just stick with my 'real' shorts?
Tanviiii...!
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous girl...!Went through some of your recent posts...Just adored your look in Romance Show-mance..and that pic of you and Ashish is LOVELY...! Like I said, glad you found the one :)
The Jorts are a great idea...according to me...though I have never tried that :)
Lotsa love...keep lookin' gorgeous!
Mwaah

love the pop of red color in the outfit and thats a pretty neat way way of prolonging the life of clothes..
They do work. But I also liked ur jeans a lot. They did not need to be discarded. But u have great legs to carry jorts.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you have told me many times that you enjoy my earrings! Thanks! And my name is Charlotte :)
ReplyDeleteI think your jorts look great! I have a pair of pants that I've been meaning to do this too for a while. It will probably be one of the first projects I get around to after I finish the tie-dyed suit I'm working on!

I read all your posts in one single day and bacame a hugeeee fan of you and your beliefs. I am now76 kilos at 5'4. I need another 20 go, but am sticking to it.

Good job girl. I did that to my daughter's jeans a couple day's ago.
ReplyDeleteI love them! They totally work. You look amazing as usual, sweetie. I used to do that in high school too :)
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! another awesome thing to do is tie-dye them! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMost of my Jorts began their lives as jeans. I am all about DIYing my own. These turned out great.
