Distressed Texture

My husband thought I was a little crazy when I came home with these jeans –  “You bought them that way?”  Little did he know, I had actually been looking for the perfect pair of lighter wash, slightly distressed (but not too ripped) jeans.  I couldn’t believe my luck when I found these in my size for less than $30…much cheaper than this style I was lusting after!

What I’m wearing:

Forever 21 sweater (similar here or here) & jeans (similar), Ann Taylor blouse, ALDO heels (on sale here), J. Crew necklace (via eBay), Dockers aviators

    LOVE this, totally absolutely ' dying to pin you' love this. Every detail. PS: the second to last photo of you is insane. Beautiful!

    I'm laughing so hard right now about your post. I bought a pair of boyfriend jeans from Target because I loved how they fit but hated how they looked so "boring" and plain. I looked online at the more expensive jeans and distressed them on my own in the same way and washed them in bleach 3 times. Now they have that perfect worn in destroyed look that so many of the "expensive" brands have. My husband walked in as I was slashing away and sanding the jeans and thought I was nuts for "ruining" them!

    You look great! I love your hair like that. These colors are perfect together- you really nailed this one 🙂 I could never bring myself to spending more than $40 on jeans. Glad you found a great deal, you always do!

    Love your outfit! Which ebay seller did you buy that necklace from? I would love to get one. Thanks.

    I love that sweater over the blouse. It looks great paired with the distressed jeans. I remember buying a pair a few years ago and my mom freaking out. I can't imagine what my hubby would say if I bought a pair.

    I love this look and LOL'd at your husband's comment … my grandfather used to say the exact same thing when the acid-washed look become so popular in the 80's. "You spent HOW much on jeans that are already old?" 😉

    Cute top knot! It was so great seeing you in California. You looked gorgeous (as always) and I hope to see you at Lucky FABB in the fall 🙂

    You look fantastic with your hair up like that and a beautiful smile on your face! I mean, you always look fantastic, but even more so now :).

    Great jeans. I have been looking around for a pair like that for a long time. They look really good on you. Will be visiting F21 this weekend.
