Do you scrap ur ill-fitting denim jeans :( ?? not anymore!! *_^ ..

  Hate those Ill -fitting Denim Jeans in your wardrobe??.. :(                                         
                         Not anymore :) 

        **Don't throw them!! I have an idea  :)**    





Recycle them .. !! *_^


       **************How?? *************


      **Take a look at my picture below..**


.. Ripped Jeans ^_^ Once a Sign of Poverty, then a Symbol of Rebelliousness, but now Fashion Statement..~_~ which rulled the Fashion scene from 70's -90's.. and are back with a Bang ..!!




My Ripped denim jeans.. that I wore yesterday for college..


 As I always say,"Every shopping has a reason.. and every outfit has a story..its a mystery and we being women are on a mission it find it and solve .." In the picture above you can see me wearing a Ripped Denim Jeans..This Lee denim.. I wanted to through badly a few months ago.. n now can't imagine my wardrobe without one.. This one has sum serious history.. I bought these last year when i was in Mumbai.. from the biggest sale season of the year(July)..and like a shopaholic i was looking for just anything to swipe my card for.. and i found these on a rack , as if these were just made fr me.. as if they have just been waiting for me..
But as the feeling of Yayy!! I did shopping ..sinks in .. n you realize wtf did I do with my money.. :( likewise ,I realized O_o what a waste of money it was.. and suddenly I was hate everything about my denim :( .. from color to fit (the fitting part was actually rite.. it didn't fit me properly.. like it was borrowed..or is from my fat school days..) and I could not stop cursing my idiot friend ,who made me believe that I made the best decision.. just to get rid of another shopping spree wid me (typical guy)..
So, here is the real story.. 2 months back I got my knee bruised by not seeing  a big pit in front of me and falling in the same ); (clumsy Me.. typical Gemini).. after an injection and a few days of bed-rest.. i cud not dress up ..like I usually do.. so I Decided to Rip my old Levis.. for a visit to Gurudwara Sahib..where I cud not(obviously) dress up in shorts..Then it was a simple Horizontal Cut on the Knee area of my denim..with a scissor n blade ..Its when I Realized wearing them is not bad at all.. infact they look really nice wid sporty Tee's and tunics..(all u hv to do is accessorize them well).. 
Later, when I ws just about to giveaway the lee(the one I am wearing in the pic above) I thought of ripping it Vertically between thighs and knee area of the denim..like in  parallel lines (to avoid attention from my thunder thighs ;p  )..And it turned out to be quite a Denim.. ^_^

( I am wearing-- Denim: Lee, Tank-top: sum stall,GK , Halter Top: Pantaloons, Bag:Woodland, Watch:my Dad's, Bangle: Stupid-Cupid, Shades: Vero Moda, Shoes: Shoes n More{Model Town Mrkt} )

*Things to be Kept in mind before buying a Ripped denim Jeans or ripping a Denim jeans-


*have heavy thighs or short height..  never go for a denim ripped horizontally above your knee it gives attention to all the wrong areas..making u look fat and short....go for a simple knee ripped denim..

*Want to give your self a little height with these ripped denim jeans.. go for the ones with vertical -parallel rips between thighs and knee.. only if you can carry these off!!( it shows a lot of your skin.. '_^ )

* never forget  to look for the ripped detailing on the back pocket or side pocket.. for a finished look of the ripped denim..




* If doing it yourself make sure you mark the cuts first and then use blade or scissor.. make the cut slightly smaller than the mark as the lose threads from the cut will increase and expand the size of the cut with time..


* For better result and exact look ,wash the denim after ripping it off..it makes the denim look more natural..and effect is also better..   

Though, Ripped jeans are mostly seen on celebrities or are reserved for designer brands. Ordinary wearers are no longer seen as rebellious , its more of a trend or fashion statement now.. I personally like to wear them to college.. movies..shopping..outings.
 
 p.s.- why spend a bomb to buy a ripped denim..your Closet alawys has that one denim you wana thourugh.. use that .. why only wear a boyfriend's shirt or a Blazer when u can also flaunt a Boyfriend's denim jeans from your own Closet.. ~_~ 

My Favorite It-Girl Kim Kardashian is usually  Spotted in Ripped denims jeans when she is traveling ..!!





**Aonther Cute thing you can do with your Old Denim Jeans **
My friend Parul's Sister made this cute Clutch out-off an old Denim jeans.. she used a zip to close one end..n tailored another.. added  colorful buttons  to make it funky and cute.. ^_^
 

 

** A little sumthing that you should know about Ripped Denim Jeans.. or just Denim Jeans..**
 Denim Jeans have come a long way since 1870's ..if we look at History of Fashion..Starting in the 1950s, jeans, originally designed for cowboys, became popular among Teenagers..
Then came the unusual .... In 70's People were spotted wearing Ripped..Torn..Slashed Denim Jeans..
Torn denim jeans have traveled a long way in our Fashion History....There’s a lot to learn about ripped jeans by glancing at the Google News archives. Generally speaking, ripped jeans were fashionable in the music crowd from the 1970’s onward, but the masses did not see the style until 1984 or so. Ripped jeans were explosively popular until the very early 90’s where they were put on the back burner..

{* It Girl Madonna among many other Fashionistas , who was seen wearing these Ripped Jeans in 1990's..}




 So, this was another Confession from my Closet.. will be back soon with more ..   ~_~
      
   Till my next post do it as..CoCo Chanel.. " I don't do Fashion, I am Fashion.."

Sassy City Chicks: Must Have Manicure!

Sassy City Chicks: Must Have Manicure!: Newspaper Nails We've seen this funky nail design popping up recently, so we thought we'd share! Here's how to have the news at your finger...

Recycle..Restyle..and Re-wear ;-) , Tricks to falunt a tunic in 3 different styles( n more if you want)..p.s-saviour when you are travelling..

                                 Recycle..Restyle..and Re-wear  ;-)
I am sure you don't want to wear your favorite Tee each-time  with that same denim.. or a pair of footwear wid the same dress .. I mean to say.. We all recycle n reuse the same piece of clothing or accessory ..

And..  I personally like to do that.. I try not to repeat a combo again.. like if i m wearing a pink Tee with a pain denim..  I'll probably team that Tee again inside a blazer.. or with a skirt.. n I m telling you ..if you know the trick to dress like this.. its a savior if you are traveling ..(or are short of clothes or suppose to carry minimum clothing)



 
Like here..I am wearing a  Basic White Tunic top.. with my Mom's patiyala Salwar and pink dupatta..To flaunt this look you can try a neutral color tunic with a colorful harem.. or a nice salwar with a kolahpuri..n bangles.. carry a dupatta if you like.. for a traditional desii look..(which is my hot favorite this season..) in short play with color..coz a basic tunic goes with every color..try hot pink n or green.. (like i did ^_^)


 

The same tunic I am wearing inside my Dad's Lenin Pants.. To flaunt this look..u can wear a tunic with a high waist pant for a formal look.. nobody 'll ever come to know that its the same tunic u wore with a salwar.. (Tip-try ur dad's pant as a substitute for high waist pant and a nice tote and footwear.. and accessories to go..Super Classy n totally Chic..for reference look at the pic above..)



Here..my look is totally Boho.. m wearing the same white tunic as a Casual  Dress with a skirt as slip inside and a Denim Jacket.. m also carrying my favorite Orange Tote..Footwear-J&M Connection.. Jewelery.. from my personal Collection ..(picture credits to my MOM for clicking it for Me{and for the patience She Showed }..I Love You Mom.. :-* )

So, thatz how I wore my white tunic in 3 different styles for three different looks.. m sure there is a lot more left to be done with this tunic.. n if you have any ideas or suggestions pls be free to share & comment.. :)


Until my next post ..As I always say do it as Coco Chanel.."I don't do Fashion..I am Fashion.."

Picture Diary 06/09.. afternoon spent in The Gurudwara Sahib..so Serene..peaceful..and soulful..

Afternoon spent at "The Gurudwara Sahib-Nanak Piyau"-serene.. peaceful.. and much needed.. ^__^

Had the most amazing afternoon today at "Gurudwara Sahib-Nakak Piyau" after my classes..
And also I would like to thank Yukta for the amazing tea,cake and paratha's.. : D
 n Mansi for being such a patient and wonderful photographer(though a first timer.. but super.. :-*)





Satya Naam Shree Waheguru..

















Serene Sarovar








Jo Bole Sonihaal --Sat Shree Akaal..






Waheguru ji da Khalsa ..Waheguru ji di Fateh..














Baba ji Meer karoo.. Sabda Bhala Karoo




That's how i generally dress up for "Gurudwara Sahib"..i don't like wearing ,western or Indo-western for a temple .. I believe we should follow the traditional dress code.. coz we Indian's dont realize how beautiful n colorful our culture is.. And some times we should embrace our Indian culture .. and being a Punjabi u feel a different love and passion for our language , people, pind and culture I am sure.. all you Punjabi's would agree.. like how we connect coz of our language .. home town n sir-names.. these things might sound silly.. but they really bind us all together in a bond that is inseparable n unexplainable.. and once in a while.. I just like being the real Me..(like I am in the pictures above) that's what makes me feel close to my roots.. ^__^
and I really believe being yourself and being proud of you are is the biggest label you wear .. that outfit or label won't make you pretty .. its your personality.. n your attitude n believes ..build that..


*In the above picture I am wearing a Desi outfit..totally mixed and matched n also some  borrowed from my mom's closet.. ;p
But that's the real fun.. how you find a different new everyday from the same old, old.. ;)


(I am waering-- Green Kurti-Lifestyle, Hot Pink Narrow Salwar-My Mom's ;) , Silver Ruby Earrings- Adarsh Jewelers(Kamla Nagar mrkt), Bag- some shop in Kamla Nagar, Silver/Golden flip-flops- some shop (lokhandwala mrkt), watch- Skagen, dupatta-from the Gurudwara Sahib)

 That sums up my day i guess.. Still have heaps to share with you all.. 
                                                    &


Till my next post.. do it as Coco Chanel.."I don't do Fashion.. I am Fashion.."




                                                                        XOXO-Shaily
