DAMSEL IN DISTRESS(ED DENIM)

SO PERSONALLY, I'M NOT A BIG JEANS PERSON, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T FIND THEM TO BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING I AM TRYING TO WORK MY WAY INTO WEARING MORE! MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES FOR JEANS IS DEFINITELY LIGHT WASH, ACID WASH, BLACK, AND TRASHED.  NEARLY EVERY DESIGNER WHO DOES DENIM HAS COME OUT WITH SOME KIND OF DISTRESSED DENIM LOOK!
I OWN A FEW PAIRS OF JEANS, AND ALL OF THE ONES I OWN HAVE SOME KIND OF RIPS OR DISTRESSED LOOK TO THEM! IT'S SAFE TO SAY THE DISTRESSED, TRASHED LOOK ON DENIM IS HUGE RIGHT NOW. ALSO, NOT JUST ON JEANS. BUT I SEE DISTRESSED DENIM JACKETS QUITE A BIT AS WELL!  

I recently traded a pair of UNIF Twerk Jeans, for a UNIF distressed denim jacket with some cute patches on them! I'd say that was a fair trade, because I didn't wear the jeans all that much, and I've already gotten so much wear out of the jacket! I did a small shoot today wearing that jacket, and some ripped jeans!

If you tend to be crafty like myself, and don't feel like paying the extra money that really ripped off pieces cost, why not get into some DIY? I'm all about doing things myself if I can, and especially if it saves me money!Here's how I learned to distress denim! NOW GO DESTROY SOME PANTS!!

I made a trip out to Chapel Hill to do some pictures for an advertisement for a local smoke shop that my friend Pavi runs, and after taking pictures for that, I asked if she'd be kind enough to take some pictures of me for the blog!

Here's to short, pink hair! I know I haven't updated a personal post on this in awhile, and last time I posted here, my hair was long, and orange! I recently decided it was time for some new beginnings, and something I've never done before! I feel like the short hair suits me, and this pink is giving me life! I feel so fabulous; I just wish I had hair to flip!

I've also been wearing these UNIF Choke Boots nearly everyday. They look intimidating at first glance, and you'd think they'd be a clunky, uncomfortable boot, right? NOPE. I could walk around for hours in these babies, and still have the energy to cartwheel in circles! I've had them for quite some time now, and I feel like I can say for sure, that they're my favorite boot I've ever owned. I got them for myself for Christmas, from TiltedSole! At the time they were having an amazing Black Friday deal, and they always have free shipping in the US!

Right now Tilted Sole is having a Easter Sale of an additional 40% already reduced items! Don't miss out, because it's only through Easter weekend!
