BUT when I saw these cute little jeans on clearance I could not pass them up. If all I do is "embellish" the jeans, then I'm not really breaking the rule. Right?
My plan for the jeans is to add cute ruffles to the cuff's (inspired by a few of the fabulous folks I follow on twitter) and maybe some hot fix crystals on the back pockets. I'll post photos once the jeans are done. If I miss the Christmas deadline...I figure I can always put them in my niece's Easter Basket :)
