| DIY = Stress Reliever

I have been wanting to turn an old pair of jeans into shredded cut-offs, so yesterday I succumbed to one of the most common DIYs going around lately
. Now that I've done it, I realize why it's so popular - it's so fun to do! I got to attack denim with a steak knife and a cheese grater, which turned into something fantastic. As the title says, this DIY is definitely a stress reliever. I took out what little aggression I had on the poor, poor pair of shorts and I feel great :) Haha!

Actually, I am lucky enough to have a bf with a great camera who is willing to take pictures of me (although I think his patience is wearing thin).
