DIY//Makeover Your Tights

 I was going through some of the things in my closet, I came across a few pair of tights that had holes and runs in them. I usually mess up a few pairs during the season. Last year I ruined a pair of black sheers, these polka dots ones, and some star print ones I messed up the while putting them on for the first time. I've always wanted to try the sock and heels thing so I figured why the heck not...lets give this a try.
1. Cut Tights
2. Try on and shorten to length you want.
I just rolled mine at the top. I like that it gives it a bit of contrast from the sheer part of the tights.
