DIY: Cut Off Shorts from a Pair of Jeans

Ever have a pair of jeans that just didn’t fit right? I’ve had a pair of jeans from Forever 21 just sitting in my closet for a little over a year now. Despite the fact that they were a size 24 (the smallest size Forever 21 carries & supposedly equivalent to a size 0) the fit was just ALL wrong. Why I ever bought them in the first place? Your guess is as good as mine.

But rather than just throw or give them away, I decided to make a pair of shorts out of them.

I have a thing for exposed pockets on shorts

Shoes from Aldo’s and the t-shirt I cut up a couple of years ago.

Acid washed & added a cuff
