When I find a piece that I absolutely fall in love with, I usually end up having to repair or restore the item from wearing it to death.  Even though the item will never be brand new, I believe, especially with repaired denim, that it adds character and a certain uniqueness to the piece. I have a lot of fun repairing denim just for the fact that there are so many different options to choose from (zig zag stitch, grid stitch, patches, etc.).  I went a little overboard on the repairs with these particular shorts, however I still love them none the less! When I first bought this cream Balenciaga, I wore it almost everyday and it ended up getting so dirty that I retired it in my closet for almost 2 years.  In shock that I haven't wore it for so long, I decided to give it some TLC and now its back in action! Never give up on items that you truly love, theres always ways in bringing them back to life.
