distressed.


major distressing happening on my legs.

this is a prime example of pre-distressed jeans gone wrong. i bought this pair last fall on our honeymoon. amazingly enough, they fit my boyish build perfectly until it was time to throw them in the wash. then this happened... 


due to the holes air vents i haven't worn these jeans in months, but decided to revive them one last time before they go to cut-off heaven. and maybe dipped in bleach if they're lucky! :)

  1. hey, i just stumbled across your blog, but I absolutely love it. Everything-from the layout to your killer sense of style-is amazing. I especially love this look. You look stunning! I like the subtle nerdy vibe of this outfit, which isn't to say that it is anything other than incredibly chic! That necklace is drop dead gorgeous, and your boots are my new obsession. Everything about this look is pure perfection! I am your newest fan. Could you check out my blog at www.rogue-collection.blogspot.com as well? i would love to follow each other. Thanks :)

  6. I actually really love the holes on those jeans! Normally I'm not a fan of super crazily distressed jeans, but for some reason these totally work. But I bet they will be really cute as cut offs too. Love the wedge boots and your gold collar necklace. :) Well, the hubs couldn't make it Grand Rapids because no one could drive him across the border. But that just means that the next time he has to go out there, I will go and then we can meet! :) And you can introduce me to some amazing Vegan cooking. :) <3

  12. This look is so perfect. Seemingly simple, but the bit of edge found in the pants and the necklace really set it off.

    we <3 You!
