Last year, I spoke about the cutoff trend, and the re-emergence of them this year seems to have sparked a little controversy about whether or not they should actually be back. The difference between this year and last year is that now they are truly cut off jeans. Sooo in the spirit of Recession Chic, you can create these from a pair of jeans that you no longer wear. I love the DIY!

Or, if you're feeling the need to splurge (that's a nice way of me saying "waste your money"), you can buy a pair of Current/Elliott's at Singer22 for $187:


Yeeeahhh, pass the scissors please..
