I was headed to bed, when I suddenly stumbled upon a blog post from A Cup of Jo about my past. Actually, it was a post about Do-It-Yourself Bell Bottoms. I clicked the link and memories of my early years flooded my brain!
My oldest sister, Andrea, was an avid clothing-alterer (which my other sister Meag followed suit in. I wasn't so skilled with the sewing machine at that point) and was never one to really stay within the lines of your typical trend (I wanted to be just like her, the pre-teen that I was...too bad that by the time I always got the hand-me-downs, my sisters were both over that phase and I was definitely not rocking it like they were...ha!).
The "DIY bell bottom jean" was a specialty of hers...
How interesting is it how now, in 2011, this has become fashionable as opposed to the grungy, hipster vibe she was displaying in the late 90's/early 00's!
Andrea, you trend-setter you! Pat on the back.
