They have been gathering mothballs the \u2018i\u2019ll wear it someday\u2019 drawer and only came out for an upcyclying event for Love Your Clothes. Now these denims haven\u2019t just seen the light of day but also keep getting better with every wash! I cant take the credit for them, they were customised by my Miss Chouchou herself while I was busy Dalmation-ing up a crop jacket. I\u2019m thinking I will need to give it a whirl myself on another old pair, or perhaps I\u2019ll give bleaching a go? <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3555\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?resize=598%2C797\" alt=\"photo 2 (4)\" width=\"598\" height=\"797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?resize=598%2C797 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?resize=903%2C1204 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?w=1520 1520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/photo-2-4.jpg?w=2280 2280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a> I matched the distressed denim with a staple grey tee from Primark. These \u2018boyfriend\u2019 tees are an absolute godsend and look great with skirts or trousers and at the bargain price of \u00a33, who could argue with that? I have been reaching straight for my  Hayley Scanlan PVC bomber where I used to go never stray far from my leather biker.
