Distressed

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

I'm reliving my younger days through these ripped jeans, but dressing it up with heels and a blazer. Did that do enough to take attention away from the rip below my knees? Probably not. Quarter-life crisis is here to stay :D

  3. The blazer and jeans look so good on you! I gained a few lbs this summer and all my jeans are too tight at the waist! EEP.

  4. I absolutely love this look! I have a pair of ripped jeans that I absolutely adore and they fit perfectly. Sometimes I wish they weren't ripped though so I could wear them to work.

  7. I do like the jeans dressed up! I think the necklace, blazer, and heels elevate it from "bad" girl to fashionably edgy girl :)

    I have to tell you...the sparkly J. Crew belt that I got...spreads glitter everywhere! I see specks on my floors and think of you! I don't mind the specks...loving the belt! Have worn it at least once every week!

  12. Thank you all for the feedback :)

    @kileen - I just checked eBay and there are some NWOT going for ~$20 if you're interested.

    @Michelle - Ahh, I'm sorry about the glitter! Mine isn't that bad (or perhaps I'm not looking closely enough) but I hope it isn't too much of a mess for you.
