Bleached....




AND no...not just my hair ...but my jeans..to get that acid wash look we all know I love to death (and that my BF seems to hate...well and many others for that matter but that OBVIOUSLY won't stop me from rockin' them). Drip some bleach on the jeans in the tub...squish 'em around and let them soak ..I must have been using some crusty bleach because it took me an hour to see any color change and it was pretty minimal....I made these A WHILE ago and decided to actually try wearing them (I pictured them a little different in my head...I swear ..it was the bleach :P)...They are $3 jeans I picked up at Goodwill (they were black, now more grey) so I figured it'd be a cheap little DIY/Thrill... so I present you with my jeans ...well and my boots...that I found for $15 last fall ....marked down from $400

Even if they're supposed to be out of style, it sure beats acid-hole jeans. I have way too many of those now. On the other hand, not having acid burns on my legs is a nice plus.

Luvin' the blog! keep it up!
