Go to the thrift store and find a cute old lady pin (brooch, however you spell it). Like seriously who wears pins? Why not make it a cute ring like this girl did. It works with ribbon, faux flowers, and pins. I can't find my faux flower one but I do have this pin I found.

  A cheap pack of bands at the art store and really tough glue is all you need! Make it happen! Did I get your creative juices flowing? Hope you enjoyed this short blog!

  QOTD ; “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Want to make your own highwaist shorts!?

Do me a favor. Don't spend $35 bucks on these shorts. Spend 35 minutes and have an original pair! I don't know what happen to the before picture I had for these jeans. Buy I bought them at savers which were have off the original price. I got them for $1.50! Say what!?! All you need are some scissors. And tongs!

 Before you get started on your jeans. Make sure you go for a pair of jeans that feel thick the more the threads the better the fringe.

Put on your jeans, take a pen mark where you want them, go a little bit lower than where you prefer because the fringe will make them shorter for you. Take your scissors and cut you markings. Cut the back about a half inch longer than the front to make sure your booty is covered. Take your tongs and grab the jeans and it will pull the threads quickly. Cut random slits in you jeans, take your tongs and do the same thing. Don't cut them too high you don't want your thighs hanging out Or maybe you do. If you are like me and didn't cut you jeans that short but want the pockets hanging cut the inside of the pick about the quarters of the way so when you put your shorts on they hang out. I had the express tag in the back of my jeans which i didn't like so if you don't like yours just simply cut the thread that is holding it on to the pants. (which is optional)

 Throw them in the washer and dryer, and you have your high-wasted shorts!
 If you want to be more daring you can spray them with bleach to give them a more distressed look. You can even soak half in bleach for an ombre effect. You can find some like that in our shop. If you want to go crazy you can add a few studs to your shorts and you can find those in our Motley shop! So remember you can be crafty as you would like!

Here is a link to our studs on our page. Have a beautiful day!

QOTD -
There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.

Fabulous outlook

Here at Motley my partner and I love to take things that are beautiful and give them new life. We do it everyday with a pair of jeans but we are more then that. We can find treasures in the middle of madness and our job, our goal is to share them with you. Weather it be you don't have the talent or the time to look for what we find, we bring them to you.



 For example take this black and white blazer we found at the thrift store, it is very in and I bet you could find somebody with this on somewhere, but we made it a little different. All we did was add shoulder patches to it and it suddenly becomes a one of a kind piece that you don't see anywhere. Having one of a kind pieces definitely makes you feel special.

Sometimes there are treasures that we do find that we leave untouched and the odds of seeing someone else wear it is probably really crazy. Here is another example, we have found these adorable farmer jeans in the midst of the giant thrift store and let me tell you these are ready to wear. A little twist to your outfit will make everyone wonder wear you got it!

You can tell them you got it in New York like my friend always used to do when she didn't want anyone to copy her or you can tell them the thrift store, not like they will ever find it.
Sometimes you have to go beyond your size, beyond your section when you walk into Savers or Salvation army because you never know what could be if you don't look. I know we talk a lot about thrift stores in this blog, but this is what Motley is we are fabulous finds. We do it for you.
(We do it a little for us)


Anywhoot Motley loves you, have a great day, stay cool!
