Denim Distress

I'm feeling a little denim deprived! And it’s not for lack of jeans in my wardrobe either because, may I tell you, I could almost drown in the sea of denim that resides there. At last count, it was probably 20 pairs…maybe more…I don’t know. But… you know… when it comes to jeans it get’s very tricky. 

Denim jeans are the starting place for so many great creations…in my book at least. But right now, I just don’t own the right pair! And I do believe there is an art to CHOOSING the right pair…You will find countless sites espousing the right equation for choosing jeans for your shape…Marie Claire and Madison rehash this theme every month or so too. For me, it’s length (I’m a shorty and jeans are ALWAYS too long for me) and style (skinny only thank you!). From there, we go to quality. In a desperate bid for some light wash jeans for an outing not too long ago I opted for a quick fix with a K-Mart special…well I felt cheap and nasty all night. Don’t get me wrong, I have found plenty of great buys at my local, but as a friend told me recently, when it comes to your denim, you get what you pay for! So in my search for my next pair of BJF (that’s Best Jeans Forever thank you…) I though I would share my findings…for all the other ladies who are feeling a little denim distressed too…

These would be my favourite picks...loving the cropped look at the moment and also adore the boyfriend style! So, after Fashion-free June I will be hunting down something along these lines...…Hmmm? What's that? How am I doing with my whole no shopping thing, you ask? I wish you hadn’t… but, I won’t lie…I did make a purchase…2 to be exact…a bag and a dress-slash-coat…$16 in total for these great little op shop finds…and yes I am feeling a little guilty…but, as they say…if you fall off the horse, pick yourself up and get straight back on… I’m pretty sure they don’t say pick yourself up and get your butt to Chapel Street and buy some jeans. So,until my credit card is back in action I’ll spend my time planning some of those new denim based creations…I think it will be worth the wait!!!
