The Horror: The State of Denim

By -
Perhaps I'm not open-minded when it comes to denim. I prefer a dark wash, but lighter washes or even colors are fine. Skinny jeans look amazing, but for comfort, I almost always pick bootcut. Rips make sense from the perspective of a casual aesthetic, but you'll never catch me spending money for the deconstructed look.

Edun, Rock and Republic, Balmain, Apple Bottom, Marni

Prints are a no-go; they erase the anonymity of demin. Acid wash will never be anything but a nightmare. Patches chop up the body. The motorcycle look in the middle earns a skeptic maybe.

Am I the only fashion nerd who ignores denim trends? What other popular jean trends are making you gag?

I agree with every single comment you make about the jeans.

I buy dark even wash and since I take care of my clothe, they became a perfect light color with a perfect fit in 5 years, with slight frindge. Yes, all my jeans last ~5-7 years with various state of wornness/color.

The only extra/adornment I like on jeans is zipper on the outter bottom leg.

Even in high school when I craved crazy pants, I never did love an over the top denim. I like to try different styles and varying washes, but I don't like distressed, embellished, printed, torn or acid washed denims. I want my jeans to go with almost everything, like jeans should.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
