I was recently reading my Style Watch Magazine's August issue, and like most August issues, they feature the latest denim trends for back to school and they featured embroidered jeans. I also noticed the rising popularity of embroidered jeans in some stores, and I thought I would jump on the band-wagon and give the trend a try!
                                                   

I loved these jeans at TopShop but I don't $110 love them!

Although I wore embroidered jeans as a child, and they're coming back in style this season, I'm not if I want to invest in a trend I'm not sure is here to stay and to be honest, I don't necessarily see embroidered jeans as one of my staples and would wear enough to spend the big bucks some retailers were pricing... so DIY-time!

These jeans are super easy to make and the best thing about  a DIY like this is that you're jeans will be one-of-a-kind, and get super creative!

I decided to hit one of my favorite stores: GoodWill for some inexpensive jeans I wouldn't mind adding some decorative detail too! 

(BTW, Goodwill/ Thrift Stores, or stores like Plato's Closet are excellent sources for finding inexpensive brand name or designer jeans for less than $5!)

I hit the craft store (Michael's and Joann's are my favorites) for some iron-on decals

Easy peasy, lemon squezzy... in less than 10 minutes and less than $15...

HOW I STYLED EMBROIDERED JEANS:

Because the jeans were the statement piece of the outfit, I wanted to keep everything else pretty simple  and pair the jeans with a simple taupe knit shirt and my burgundy booties since they matched the flower decals on my jeans!





These were soooo easy to make, so far my quickest DIY to date!
