Now I know what you are thinking...jeans, in the summer. Well, if you live in the Midwest and anywhere near Chicago, you know that the weather can change in a second. Yesterday, it was 95, and today it's 65. And mentally, you just can't go there...you just can't put on your jeans...the jeans you had to wear all winter long. It's not right. So turn those jeans into summertime cropped jeans.
Cropped jeans are a great alternative to capri's. Capri's are not that flattering on a lot of people. And if you are vertically challenged like myself, they can look ridiculous. So, take a pair of your skinny, straight legged or bootcut jeans and put them on. Fold up or cuff up the bottom of the jeans until they hit just above your ankle bone, the smallest part of your leg. Put your legs together to make sure that both cuffs are equal. And voila!!! You have a pair of cropped jeans, and it didn't cost you a dime. You could also take it one step further. Take the bottom of the cuffed jeans and fold them up so the cuffed part is cut in half. That creates a slimmer, leaner look to your jeans. Either one turns your jeans into a great summer alternative to shorts or skirts or capri's.
You can wear almost anything with your cropped jeans....jeweled ballet flats or high heel wedge sandals with a fun peasant top, or flip-flops with a cute tank or layered tee. Dress them up or dress them down...it's your choice!
Enjoy your day!
