Anna, that’s pretty genius. The distressed areas look so natural! I usually cut down a couple of old denim for summer shorts, so I’ll have to give this a try 😉 Fingers crossed that I don’t end up ruining it!!

Great tip on buying youth shoes – I’ve started to do this out of necessity, since a lot of brands don’t go down to size 5 in women’s, and I’m hooked. Same shoes, half price!
