Everyday Dressing || DIY Raw Hem Tutorial + The Best Light Wash Denim

About a year ago, one of my best girlfriends and I headed up to LA for a night away. Just the two of us. No schedules. We started the morning with a spin class, followed by a mimosa brunch, and then headed out for a little shopping. Top on her list was a pair of high waisted, light wash, denim jeans for the spring season. I had just purchased this pair (that I’m still obsessed with), so I was more of an onlooker in her quest to find the perfect pair. Yet, this season, I joined her… and went on the search for a hug in alllll the right places light wash denim. Since I’d had success with Levi’s jeans in the past (two of my favorites are from them, they fit like a glove), I decided to give this pair a chance. From the moment I put them on, I was sold. They have a slight stretch, are high waisted, and hug in the perfect spots. Oh, and they have no distressing to them… I mean, who have I become??…..

But, in an attempt not to disappoint you, I’ve added my own touch of distressing by cutting the hem…. like I do with all my jeans, since I’m so short. I recently had a request on how to create the look, so you can find a short, and very simple, DIY tutorial for creating the raw hem on any of your jeans below in the video…..

I love pairing this pair with a cute mule, like these super comfortable white ones. I recently purchased this adorable blush pair and can’t wait to see how they look together (Jeffrey Campbell has some super cute mules for Spring….)…..

In that light, I guess I can successfully cross off light wash denim + cute mules on my spring list!
