Dressing up Distressed Jeans

It is nearly February but Happy New Year!!

After a long hiatus due to troublesome computer/blog glitches, I am back!!  To those that follow my blog and have asked about when my next post will be, my sincerest apologies.  Since early December,  I have had technical problems with my blog.  I have spoken to numerous experts who have offered numerous differing opinions.  But, I finally found the right, trustworthy help and it seems the blog is sorted and working properly!!  Thank you for your patience!

My last post was showing distressed jeans in a casual but put together outfit.  This post is using the same jeans (and top) but dressing them up. By adding a long vest with a removeable fur collar (fur attached), animal print stacked heels and a clutch, the outfit is suddenly dressed up.  This is an outfit that could be worn out to dinner, to a casual dinner party, a ladies night or perhaps a trip into the city.

How to Wear Ripped Jeans

A great outfit, in my opinion, provides contrast and opposites.  So, for instance, an outfit that incorporates masculine and feminine elements hits the right notes.  That is probably the main reason I love ripped jeans and distressed jeans.  They make it very easy to bring the masculine (or tougher) element into an outfit.

The outfit in this post is casual mixing ripped jeans, with a fitted mock turtleneck, slip-on sneakers and black beads but I hope it shows a simple way to wear ripped jeans to knock around but still look pulled together.
