High waisted jeans makeover

Hello all! I'm posting today from my iPhone. I did a quick little project while on vacation to a pair of high waisted jeans I got on my birthday. I absolutely loved them, but after a few wears I realized I just couldn't deal with the length. They were just a tad too short, and wearing wedges or any shoes with height was out of the question, which to me is just unacceptable for those kinds of pants. So a few snips with some scissors, and now they are shorts! I'm pretty happy with the outcome, but they still need to be hemmed.

Have you made any changes to vintage clothing to give it new life? I'd love to hear about it!
