    I love it. I don't know if I could pull off this torn look but girls can! Plus, it is such an excuse for an arts and crafts project!

    I'm not loving the ripped jeans look, but I love that Nina Ricci dress - it's so moody, it's great!

    Thanks for the comment on my blog, I'm glad you took my comments well instead of as offensive!

    The funny thing about DIY for me is I say to myself I can make it, but I never get around to doing it. :)

    I love how some people area layering the distressed look with something completely structural and very much intact underneath. aka. Chris Benz above.

    DIY for certain-at least on the bigger investment looks/pieces.

    I had the ripped up true religion jeans the first time they came out with them like 5 years ago-and I LOVED AND LIVED in them until the horizontal threads were all broken and the knees entirely blown out. I have a feeling you'd get at least as much wear out of the current ripped skinny jean thang.

    Oh I heart ripped jeans.

    Takes me back to high school where my English teacher looked at my fave pair of ripped jeans and said, "Sometimes we love our jeans so much and we can't let go when they're done."

    Ha! What would he know????
