Is it me... or is even our
local Wal-Mart's getting a bit extravagant in the price of blue jeans
lately? I mean really... I don't want to spend $17 for a pair of blue
jeans my kids will outgrow in a minute or just because they have
ridiculous Hannah Montana's name on the tag.
Actually, I don't want to spend $17 a pair for blue jeans for ME! either!
SO there... I said it.
And don't even get me started with the whole Target frugalista bit,
ack! I didn't know spending $49.99 on a dress was considered frugal.
What??!?!!!
Oh, I'm sorry... I get off on my own little soap-boxes sometimes and just run.
Customizing blue jeans... that's why you were here right? :)
Ok, so my Carlie Jean is a bit thick around the middle.
~Yeah, it comes from me. ~
So she needs a jean with a bit more give there. She is tall for her age
also, so finding just the right jean is not always easy.
The other
day I was visiting a favorite thrift store and came across a sweet
little pair of Levi's with elastic in the back (love it).
For a $1.75 no less, RIGHT ON!
They fit with ease around the middle, but still were a good few inches too long.
I cut off the excess folded up a hem and sewed this trim along the
edge. I think they are absolutely precious. And CJ loves them too!
 It is a cute Little Red Riding Hood trim I found from etsy.
 So now she has two pair of jeans... Score! :)
Ideally, I would like to find her a sweet little red hooded sweater to wear along with them... how adorable would that be???
