DIY Margiela jeans

So ever since I first saw a DIY of these Margiela ripped jeans over on Style Bubble a few months ago, I've been wanting to take a pair of scissors to some of my old jeans and create my own DIY version. Unfortunately, I am the world's biggest procrastinator. I never actually got around to doing it.

That is, until about 9:30 last night when I had a sudden NEED to make them and wear them the next day. Here are the step-by-step photos of the entire process (because I like to take pictures!)
The jeans before. And yes, those are my lime green leopard sheets. The jeans are just a pair of Arizona for JCPenney jeans I got sophomore year and never wore them much because as it turned out one of the legs was sewn crooked so the seam always worked its way around to the front of my leg.
With some of the slits cut into the legs. I decided to make more but narrower rips in them, I didn't want them to have huge gaping holes like the originals. My poor legs would freeze that way! And eeew, I just realized there's a hella dirty plate laying on a stack of books on my floor in the picture. I'm a slob, there's no hiding it now.
The finished product, worn plain with a white t-shirt. They need to be washed and thrown in the dryer so they can really fray, but I'm still happy with them.
And finally what I wore them with today- pink tights from Target, gray t-shirt from Wet Seal, and that black vest I end up wearing with EVERYTHING, which I got at Younkers. And I wore them with converse, which once again I forgot to put on before taking a picture (I'm always in a hurry in the morning!)
