DIY Shredded T-Shirt

I've been seeing these online a lot lately and I've been doing this for at least a year now.
I'm glad it can't be mass produced :)
It's very one of a kind and awesome way to alter your tees.






A new twist to this idea, do it all the way around the bottom of a tee for a cute cut off destroyed look. i did this to a patriotic tee i had for the 4th. can't wait to wear it to the lakes this summer! :D i'll be 21 and rockin it!

DIY Dip Dyed/Bleached High Waisted Denim Shorts

Do you have so many pairs of plain denim shorts laying around and you want to spice a pair up in a head turning way?

Mix some bleach with water. Like 1 part to 1 part. In a container that you can somehow pin or place your shorts in the same place for a while to "dip" them in the bleach so you get the desired effect below. leave them in until you get the white you wish. careful not to leave them in too long because the bleach can eat away at your denim.
to stop the bleach, wash it in some vinegar.
boom, done!
distress at your will <3

DIY Shredded Chunky Knit Sweater

This look has been around the block. It started with thinner Knits and other thin shirts, and now it's on to chunky knit sweaters.

& I like it :)

Cut off the bottom hem and start pulling away at the threads at one point. That's it! Super simple! & totally awesome!
