Ohhh,your lippie color ! I need to get that one. Huge fan of nude lip colors :)
Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial !
wow, it looks like you did a great job Maria!
I can't believe it is so easy to turn the old par of jeans to a new and beautiful pair of jeans,like that...
one day when I buy a sewing machine... kkk a few months ago, I had going to the seamstress for her make for me 5 pair of jeans like these so that less tight, I can't believe it's so easy to do!
you're so creative and handy, maria... i wish i had the time like you to stretch out my creativity... love the first picture...super cute...

Great DIY, Maria! The jeans look so good on you! Perhaps you can do a DIY tutorial for your hairbows too! I can't get enough of them and I'll really like to learn how to make one:)
Oh and the Chanel lipstick is so pretty, I like how soft the colour is!!
I actually would never have thought of turning boot cut jeans into skinny ones, so simple, what a great idea!
I like this lipstick for a change on you

Hey there dear! I say this tutorial awhile back and wanted to try it out too, but I don't have a sewing machine *gasp*. Yeah, I know - I really need to get on that, lol. You look lovely, great job on the jeans. Thanks for your sweet 'get well' comment. Feeling much better :)

Your blog is looking marvelous!!! And that first picture of you, I can get over how adorable you are!!! :)
your comments are just too kind, really!
Those jeans are great! It makes even a strictly tights girl like me have second thoughts on the matter!
I wish I was so good at sewing (I am oh so clumsy and uncoordinated!)
And once again, I want your bow!
Wow looks great! And it doesn't look too difficult to try either!
This is just so awesome! I need to give my jeans a new lease on life :)
Those jeans look so good on you!
This is a great idea. You did a beautiful job. xoxo ava
Really? OMG! I've been trying to do those with all my old flare jeans but I just never knew how. Thanks! Now all I need to do is learn how to use my sewing machine :]
You look so comfy and cute! I love the bow! You have such pretty hair.
I have used this tutorial before! I made one ankle on my jeans too small and had to redo it but it worked out well!
Stop being such a cutie all the time! I can't stand it ;)

This is awesome! will definitely give it a shot :)
The jeans looks so awesome on you! The tutorial looks do-able, too bad i don't have a sewing machine.
Oh, I should do something like this to a bunch of trousers that I've got at home... maybe I'll try, hehehe!
Now they look great on you!
XOXO,
Libs
Love the bow, you have amazing style!!
Cute jeans and I am loving your bow!!
Cole did an excellent job taking this picture. It's amazing.
Oh, I like the whole new look of the blog. :)
they worked really well, this is a good thing to do
Very cute outfit and I absolutely love your hair!!
You did a fab job with these. I tried to do a really makeshift version of this a while ago, with a pair of white pants, but ended up butchering them and creating weird bulges at the calf. Haha! Glad to see yours worked out so well, though!
