Each of us has that pile of jeans in our wardrobe that we don't wear anymore. A pair was our favorite of a period and trying it on again now we cannot explain ourselves why. Another one never really fitted us, but we promised to lose weight so we bought it anyway. Nonetheless, it never happened and those jeans are still on the back of the closet. The third pair is not fashionable anymore. The other day I was reading about the Upcycling denim challenge on Outsapop and I was reflecting that denim fabric is almost indestrutible and can be used again and again before being trashed.  So take that pile of jeans, a pair of scissors and give a new life to that old denim. Recycle your jeans, they may become your new favorite spring must have. Get inspired by the ideas below and check out my diy trousers section with a lot of jeans re-styles.

Now if we pick the skirt with elastic at the waist as a starting point we can create a lot more styles making little variations. This Lanvin for Acne collection from 2010  it's a great source of inspiration.  The skirt with the frill on one side is feminine and wearable while the dress is the middle has a draped top over the simple skirt.
