Bleached Out Cords

I'll take advantage while you hang me out to dry

My boyfriends darling mother surprised me for Christmas with *drumroll* not one, not two, but 3 PAIRS of Miley Cyrus corduroy skinny jeans (varying sizes, same color). Needless to say, I've been trying to make them wearable, because there is that fine line where, once crossed, I become a fashion snob. If I was ten years younger I wouldn't have thought twice about having a TV Disney star's name on my butt... but as it is I care... So I chopped, tied, and submerged in a bleach/water mixture. And now I don't shudder at the thought of being caught in 'em at a show ;) I really like the way they turned orange. Here's hoping they don't disintegrate because I used a higher bleach:water ratio than I probably should have...
