Ripped Jeans & Big Dreams

I’ve been getting a lot of compliments and questions about these badass, magical ripped jeans I wore last weekend. I got them on sale at Urban Outfitters, and the moment I slipped ’em on I audibly gasped.

They’re high waisted and seriously ripped up. So much so, I joked around with my family that they’re actually more like wearing shorts than pants. Also, my 92-year-old grandpa told me he liked them, so they’re surprisingly family friendly. Didn’t see that one comin’.

So these jeans are phenomenal… BUT I struggled with sizing a bit. I’m here to share that while these denim dreams are heaven-sent, they’re a bit tight in the thighs.

I’m usually a 24 in BDG jeans from Urban, and even then I’m expecting to roll them a few times. Short girl problems. It definitely took a few wears for them to stretch out, but after a bit they felt comfy as heck.

And that’s when it happened.

It was horrendous and heartbreaking. It happened whilst doing gymnastics for this photo opp in front of this cute lil sunflower garage I found in Door County. Worth it? You tell me.

I ripped them clear up the middle of the left thigh but not quittttte enough for it to be an indecency issue. So I’m still going to wear them, because distressed is distressed, right?

Also a quick update on my blog game – I’ve upped it. I recently started using Lightroom presets and man oh man do they make a difference. My feed is much more consistent and feels as if my life is occurring deep within a magic forest of perfect lighting and artsy angles.

Hope you enjoyed these beautiful, destroyed blue jeans and if you decide to purchase them yourself, please proceed with caution.
