DIY Ripped Jeans

Second post of the day guys, hope you don't mind!

So I was in River Island the other day, and I saw a pair of ripped jeans, which I instantly fell in love with. The only problem however, was the price. At £44.99 they were slightly out of my tiny budget range especially for a pair of ripped jeans. I've never actually owned ripped jeans before, and I thought they were cool, but I wasn't going to be paying extortionate amounts for them.

Later that day, I was in YouTube watching a 5 Seconds of Summer interview, and I noticed that all the boys were wearing ripped jeans. I know its weird to take fashion inspiration from guys, but the jeans looked so cool and I do love a bit of 5SOS. This made me even hungrier for the pair in River Island.

So, I went down to my mum and asked her for an early birthday present (its my birthday on the 29th). This is how the conversation went.

"Mum, could I possibly have an early birthday present?"
"What for?"
"Some jeans"
" Why do you need more jeans? You've got loads. You bought a new pair last week!"
"Yeah, but these jeans are ripped jeans"
Then Mum stared at me for a while and said " Why would you need to buy ripped jeans? Back in the 80's we did it ourselves! Honestly kids these days!"

And then a lightbulb went in in my head. Not once did it cross my mind to make my own, so here's what I did:

Jeans: Primark
Boots: Hush Puppies
