DIY Ripped Denim, Vintage Clogs and Purse = Thrift Store Scores!


 I actually took these a while ago during a random sunny (albeit WINDY AND COLD) day.

Ps- Can you spy the Space Needle?  I had a hard time getting us both in the frame 😉Blog hm conscious collection top 7 FAM DIY destroyed Straight Leg Jeans Vintage Clogs-1Do you have a pair of straight leg denim that you don’t know what to do with?  It’s kind of a weird cut for me, BUT I often find them at the thrift stores for so cheap, so really…I have to, right?!  I usually just cuff or roll them (my answer to just about every jean, since my legs are so short!), but I got this pair of ridiculously comfy 7FAM straight leg jeans for $7.50!  I knew that I wouldn’t wear them as is, so, I cut off the hem to my favorite length (measured off a pair that I love), and then cut/distressed them a little.  I’ve worn them SO many times now since!

Blog hm conscious collection top 7 FAM DIY destroyed Straight Leg Jeans Vintage Clogs-4It LOOKS sunny and warm, but…it wasn’t.  It was at our house, but when we got down to the water?  Not so much.  Maya had been in the car next to me eating her snack.  When I got her out of the warm car, she had a bit of weather shock!

I really hadn’t planned on taking pics this day.  She had gone to preschool in the morning, and it’s all about “comfort/what you don’t care about getting ruined” /what I can get ON her and out the door in 15-20 minutes.  Let’s be honest, I still want her to be cute, but…what she goes to preschool in isn’t necessarily what I blog all the time.  Mainly too, because once she’s gone to school, I don’t have time to take pics after/or it’s got paint/mud on it!Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-1Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-2Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-3Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-4But get her near the beach, throwing rocks and sticks, and she’s happy. 🙂Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-5Blog Grandma Cardi Old Navy Denim Dress Cherokee Booties-6On me…
