I've never really been a fan of blue jeans on me (actually, I just hate jeans
in general I think!), but I have come to realise I wear far too much black
and that I need to inject some sort of colour into my outfits. The result? A
mixture of denim, black and leopard. I'm thinking of giving myself a little
DIY project and attempting to rip these up a bit - any tips on doing so?!

As a side note for anyone planning to come to NYC: make sure you
spend some time walking the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I
can't wait to take more photos around here, the street art and hidden
gems are just incredible - a must see for anyone exploring New York!
Looking lovely, Ashleigh!
ReplyDeleteI think you can pull off jeans better than most, you lucky thing!
As for ripping jeans - my auntie once told me many years ago that she used to achieve the worn effect by taking a cheese grater to the jeans. I did it once to the knees of a "too new" looking pair and it worked nicely.

so cute! I agree with the cheese grater suggestion, or sandpaper. they'd look great ripped up a bit! x
ReplyDeleteJeans are amazing! You should definitely start a love affair with them. This pair looks killer on you xx

Thanks for the tips girls - I'm going to give it a go! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect outfit Ashleigh! I have the exact same Zara coat but in the fuzzy wool version. It's been a life saviour through WInter!

This coat is perfect! RE the jeans, you need to take out the warp (vertical) threads so you are left with the white weft (horizontal) threads. Pretty sure there is a youtube tutorial on it. xxx
