I initially styled it with a lacy bra and boyshorts which was so cute and, surprisingly, made me feel so confident to wear to NYFW, but couldn't bring myself to do it in the frigid February weather

However, I decided I wanted to take a couple inches off the length for a cropped look and since using a blind hem stitch is one of the things I noticed people mentioning in a Facebook group recently as something theyre afraid to tackle, I thought Id write up a tutorial here for how to hem your pants with that invisible hem (AKA a blind hem) that you find in ready-to-wear dress pants
