Still in the Christmas spirit? I certainly hope so. I admit,
mine is wearing thin. But I am so eager to share these last few festivities
with you - if, for no better reason than to brag about my incredible diy project.
My friends Heidi and Scott host an annual holiday bash in
Newport Beach. Being the second year they’ve done it, I can call it annual,
right? This year, the theme was White
Trash Christmas – and ya’ll, we did it up. Is that incredibly stereotypical
to assume that white trash people say ya’ll? And drink PBR. And whisky. And
eat Twinkies. And chocolate covered potato chips? While wearing a lot
of denim. And flannel. And loving all things Uhmerica. And Billy Ray Cyrus. Because if so,
please forgive me. I’m incredibly stereotypical.
I’m embarrassed to admit getting in to character for this
theme party was hardly a stretch. I’m a big fan of PBR, all things Little
Debbie, and aside from the custom Lavin number Anne Hathaway wore hosting the
Oscars last year, a denim on denim tuxedo of the Texas variety would have to be my favorite. A while back, I had
pinned a do it yourself project that
I had originally envisioned as the perfect Fourth of July outfit – cut off jean
shorts spray painted with red and blue stars and stripes (via). I had seen a similar
version impeccably styled in an LF window display, but couldn’t justify
spending a three digit sum on repurposed, spray painted jeans I could easily
make myself. So I did, I made them myself. Too perfect for this theme, I couldn’t
wait until July and immediately found myself in line at the Goodwill with a
pair of Wrangler jeans in hand. The project was much easier than I anticipated.
And I fully intend on wearing them to celebrate America’s independence. And
probably every other day of summer as well.
Can you even believe I made these?
