Remember the panic you’d feel when a hole started wearing in the knee of your back-to-school jeans? One too many ill-advised jumps off the jungle gym or dumps of your 10-speed, and your new jeans were toast. “Mom’s going to kill me.”
Now I find myself buying up pairs of jeans with the knees pre-busted and desert booties already scuffed. (And my mom doesn’t yell at me.) Loving the relaxed, too-cool-for-school feel they bring to an outfit. For a nice contrast, I matched the distressed pieces with a clean, classic striped tee from JCrew.
What do you think? You jumping on the destroyed denim trend? I’m loving the idea of these jeans with everything from casual sneakers to dressy pumps.
Linking up with More Pieces of Me + On the Daily Express, Get Your Pretty On, Style Elixir, The Pleated Poppy, Glossy Blonde + Karly Kim, Sew Crafty Angel, Walking in Memphis in High Heels, and Life’s a Party Dress Like It.
I’m jumping on this trend because the last two pairs of them I got were free. If I’m spending above $30 then no holes. Especially since I get my stupid toes stuck in the holes sometimes and make the holes bigger. WOOPS
I love this trend, but didn’t know if I could pull it off. I like how you styled it- I think I can do this! 😉
Awesome, Ash! You look super cute!
Too gorgeous! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
Really loving those booties, too!
This is too funny- I remember being soooo scared whenever I would wear a hole in my new back-to-school jeans, haha!
I love this look on you, girl! You look gorgeous!
Looking good!
This outfit is great!
I love ripped up jeans!

Beyond obsessed with this outfit.
Such a great look! I love that the 90s are making a comeback style-wise!

I love this look on you! You have definitely made it so that the ripped knees are not so grunge- which I really like!
Too pretty, Ash!

Those jeans are really fun- they’d look cool with combat boots, too!

Great outfit! I love the stripes against the tougher ripped jeans!
Yep, I’m totally on board with destroyed denim. It is funny how it used to mean “time to get rid of jeans” when they tore, but now we buy them that way! -Gina

I haven’t tried ripped jeans yet because I try not to buy things I can’t wear to work. I’ve been trying to find a good pair that are cheaper. You look cute!

Great look, Ashley!
“Mom is going to kill me!” LOL! I thought that on more than one occasion growing up, for sure! 😀
Love the boots, they go great with the jeans. mywhiteT.com
I love how fashion turns an “oops” like holes in the knees to a trend! 🙂 Maybe this means I can break out some of my old jeans!
Beyond gorg!
Yep, this is my staple piece. Ripped jeans, stripped tees and cute booties. You are seriously the cutest girl! Loving this look 🙂

I used to be on the fence about destroyed jeans because I thought they looked sloppy- but you’ve shown a really chic option here! Thanks for sharing!

Looking beautiful as always, Ash!
Hope you are having a great Tuesday!
Those jeans are so bad ass, I’m loving it!
I only buy jeans once every few years, I honestly only have two pairs of jeans right now, so I don’t buy them with holes because I need really classic looking jeans if I’m going to have so few! Your jeans look really cool, though, and I’m loving your boots!
