In Your Face Lace

Today, I'm showcasing one of the most intricately detailed pairs of jeans with which I have ever come into contact. O_o o_O It originated in Japan, based on the tag info and it's a real beauty. You'll see some closeups of the overlapping strips of fabric and lace in the photos below.  So amazing!

Yeah, that's right. That's a f*cking pot leaf, bro! Haha. Greatness! :D I'm really tall, so it may not be obvious, but the pants are actually high waisted and have a slight flare at the cuffs. That quality, along with the florals, fringe and the pot leaf give this piece a 70s hippie boho flare that I love. The details are quite stunning in real life, so I decided to wear only neutral colors to allow those intricacies to shine.

I did some simple layering with a fringe poncho, thick infinity scarf and buttoned shrug sweater. You'll notice the different colors in each piece create a bit of a layer cake effect. I really like combining different shades of the same hue. When layering dark pieces, I think differentiation is important. Textures and reflective fabrics help prevent everything from looking overly homogenous.

These jeans created the perfect canvas for what I consider to be a boho chic look with a dark edge. :P Oh and these pants are for sale! If you think you have what it takes to rock these threads, buy it!

Wow. I'm really impressed with those pants. The time that had to ahve gone into designing and making them must be tremendous. But it looks super stylish (not something I often say about distressed jeans), and...artistic. I also love how you have things draped over the top. You really do dress like art.

Yeah, man. As soon as I laid eyes on these, I knew I had struck gold. They're even more impressive in person. The pictures really don't do it justice! Thank you for your thoughtful comment and attention to detail! I appreciate it! <3

Love your ability to layer - really modern and chic. Those pants made me laugh--specifically the leaf. Also, I had no idea you were really tall. It's funny how photos tend to hide tallness or shortness (I'm pretty short) unless you have something in the photo for comparison.

I love the title of this post. Lol. It's nice to see you in jeans and something a wee bit different! I love that sweater shoulder thingie. It makes you look cozy but in a new way. Great look!

Right? Oddly, I've been wearing skirts more than anything else. I have so many new pairs of pants that I have as of yet to wear. I think I need to switch gears, plus I mean, it's cold out there, man. Haha. <3

Hey! Thanks! ^_^ I wasn't sure about the glasses when I first got them. I think they require a certain outfit. Perhaps this is one of them? :D

When I saw that first picture, I thought this post was going to be espionage-themed or something! I used to have pants like that when I was little (we are so ahead of the trends, wearing patchwork jeans even before it was cool).

Haha.. rad! I see it, now. I don't know why that never occurred to me before. Very cool. ^_^ Actually, I had a girl on Instagram tell me that this photo inspired her to create a cartoon character in my likeness. The nerd in me is totally jumping up and down with joy! How cool is that?! :D

Oh my gosshhhhh, I need to come across jeans like those at a thrift store or something. NEED. I love how you let them shine by keeping the rest of the outfit neutral. And you look really comfy!

I love it! The way the detail is all up the one leg remind me of tattoos, so of course I'm inclined to love it even more. Bravo! :D

I love how the top is all layered and edgy to combat the sweetness of the jeans, but what else could I expect from you but awesome? ;)

love,
