DIY - Tiger Scratches

White is always the dominant summer color (or non-color if you want to get technical). It feels tropical and will match with any bright color you can think of. As any article of clothing, white will instantly make you look fresh.

My newest foray into white is jeans. Since moving to NYC my style has become tougher with more rock infused elements. This DIY is definitely in that category.

Get a pair of white painted on jeans, choose cheep (F21 - $14) to stay on the safe side.

1. Put them on and draw a line across the mid-thigh in pencil to give yourself a starting off point.
2. Take them off and cut straight across with fabric sheers. Continue to cut straight lines down the leg; remember to mix of the spacing in between each cut. This will ensure a distressed, less contrived look.
3. Throw in wash and dryer (or hang dry if you’re like me and don’t have ANY space for the jeans to shrink)

Result = Rocker Chic and Summer fresh!

You can wear them with heels and a T-shirt for a night out or colorful flats and a bright flowing top for a casual day in the city.
