Mom jeans always look good when cut into shorts. Case in point; these were the most horrific mom jeans you could imagine. Think Denim MC Hammer pants with an exaggerated taper and front pleating. Now let that marinate for a minute. It's worse than what you're imagining. But look how adorable they look as shorts! All I had to do it get out my favorite pair of fabric scissors- cut, cuff, and iron. And voila! You have created the perfect pair of pleated shorts!

Cute penny loafers and necklace:) great idea with the hideous jeans, those cutoffs look great.

You see so many of those mom jeans when shopping, but I never thought to do your diy! I will try but since I am a mom, Im a little apprehensive.. lol
I think with your slim figure, they are totally adorable.
Love your gingham jacket and how the shorts have almost a paperbag waist.

This is just perfect! Love jeans shorts with blazer!!
Mom jeans?! What a transformation! I love the 5th picture especially for the sole reason that the blazer is so amazingly drapey! This is a great look topped off nicely with the sock. <3

those jeans are AWESOME !!
agreed. i have several pair of high-waisted jean shorts which i am endlessly complimented about, and really all they are are hideous ratty old jeans which i've cut up! you look lovely.
Your outfits are always so cute! I cut mom jeans into shorts all the time haha, I love how it looks.
you've just given me so much inspiration! i bought a pair of light denim mom jeans at the thrift store but the legs are soooooo bad...i will most definitely be making them into shorts!
I adore this look, its so cute, especially the blazer and necklace!

I really adore your necklace, and those shorts look perfect! I like that they are too big on your waist, so they poof a bit at the top.

and the shorts are now beautiful! ahha :)

You pull those off sooooo.... much better than my mom!!! hehehe... She would most def wear her crazy mom jeans with something weird like a matching jean jacket. But she's my mom, so I still love her.
Such a good idea. Must get on making those mom jeans into beautiful shorts ASAP. Love the blazer!
Between you and Leslie Hall, I'll be wearing mom jean-shorts and ugly sweaters in no time! You of course look friggin' adorable, and make me wanna wear MOM jeans! I love the blazer too, the strong graphic looks almost like gingham.
I suspect you could make a a garbage bag look chic. And make me want to wear one too.
I adore the blazer :)

I love the blazer, and what a great DIY! If only my mom would give up some of her old jeans...
You wear those shorts so well.
I supersuper love that blazer and the way you matched it with the hat. The headwear gives the outfit an entirely different vibe, more cute than business, and it works so well.
And since this post is mainly about your cutoff shorts, I have to say than when I was filing through your archives, I kept noticing shorts popping up, and I loved it. With spring on the way, I thought the pairing of cutoffs with a button-down or sweater seemed absolutely brilliant, and probably is what pushed your blog to my high on my favorites.
Everything you wear is lovely and just seems to do-able.
And thanks for the comment you left on my blog several days ago. It made me smile.
fantastic idea turning mom jeans into super chic shorts. you are brilliant!

ha! i had some jordache mom jeans in my shop when i first opened it...i was hoping someone would see the potential in making them into great shorts, but it took awhile! i had to mark them down significantly before a girl finally took the plunge! i wonder what she did with them...hmmmm... i truly hope she's not wearning them "as is". ;)
Amazing! You and your cute mum jeans make me want to go thrift shopping so bad, but I must revise!
theis outfit is perfect on you! (on me it would look dreadful, i sure about it!) besides, i am in love with your hat...
wow, nice!
those shorts are adorable on you. also love the hat! xx
