Bargain ideas for your spring jeans
Jeans for spring are bright this year, but it may not be bright to buy a rainbow of jeans for full price.
Dye your own jeans
Many girls are excited about the fun spring-colored pants that are in now, but with a student budget, many are left wanting. The colors in vogue cost more than $30, but no need to fear. Some Provo girls have discovered a way to get green in their pants, without losing much green.
Tara Amos and Lauren Woodfield saw mint green jeans on Pinterest.com and wanted some. The prices were too much, so they decided to buy the dye and do it at home. They bought two packages of dye to get just the right color, along with $20 jeans, and now these girls are ready for the runway.
Cut your own jeans
In the case of jeans, less fabric doesn’t always mean less cost. It seems that cheap shorts are more expensive than cheap pants. The obvious conclusion: cut your cute jeans into cheap summer shorts.
