down the middle



Cape: J.Crew (old, similar style here); Turtleneck: J.Crew; Pants: c/o James Jeans with a DIY front slit, similar pair here; Shoes: c/o Sigerson Morrison; Necklace: Yochi; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban (borrowed from the man friend); Watch: Michael Kors

Finally got on board with the front slit jean trend -- and I'm not sure why it took me so long! Took some scissors to this pair of jeans that were slightly too long for me (which let's face it, describes most of my jeans) and I'm so tempted to do the same to a few other pairs. Like a modern take on a boot cut jean that still shows off your shoe. Win, win all around.

    Did you just cut them? Did you add a seam or anything to prevent fraying?

    Love the black and camel combo.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen any front slit jeans before. They look fabulous on you ;)

    Love your jeans... I have done it too but what I like is that you matched the nude pumps.

    See you in my blog, maybe.

    Maybe actually getting a pair of jeans with zipped end will make the lool a bit more refined? lol Afterall the fabric will start to frail after a while right?
