OOTD: DIY distressed jeans and faux-suede heels


Spring is officially here and I couldn't be more excited! I actually cannot choose one season to love (even though Fall is pretty up there) because I look forward to every single season! This season is all about distressed jeans with a cute pair of heels. The best thing about distressed jeans is that you can make them yourself for absolutely NOTHING! There are so many YouTube tutorials on this art but I will still post an entry on a step-by-step tutorial for those of you who like to read ;).

I pretty much already had every single item that I am wearing except for the shoes. I bought the shoes at Sears over spring break for only $20. They are a simple, faux-suede style that are comfortable and provide an effortless vibe to my outfit. Starting from the top: I am wearing a plain black cami from Hollister that was around $10 and I threw on an old scarf that I've had for ages from Burlington Coat Factory that was also around $10 (I think). My lovely coat was a great steal that I got from Charlotte Russe about a year ago for only $15. I got it around February when the stores heavily reduce their prices on their leftover Fall and Winter pieces. And the stars of the show (my jeans) were a DIY project that I worked on for about a week until I was pleased with them.

All in all, this outfit cost me nothing except for my bargain pumps. It is always so good to invest in items (such as a cute coat or shoes) to pull your outfits together and create looks that are both creative and stylish all year round without burning a hole in your wallet! Happy styling!
