so for the past couple of weeks… almost 2 months actually… I’ve been researching and finding out about raw denim… which is very interesting by the way

caught up in the hype? maybe… do I care… no

I feel I do what I want… if something happens to be popular and I like it as well then so be it… I don’t feel like a follower taking interest in something that seems the ‘haps’ at the time

but I digress…

been gathering information on this new form of denim (and general fashion as well) through different websites, forum boards, the internet in general

now, I don’t think I’ll grow into a full on denim buff… naw… not my steez

but I do see the appeal of raw denim

I like being an individual… who doesn’t? the idea behind the raw denim is that it fades, whiskers, stacks to you… how you bend at the leg… how you walk… what you carry in your pocket… all dat lol

no one else will have a pair that looks like yours… kinda like your own personal denim fingerprint lol

that’s why I’ve taken an interest in it… I want my own pair! lol

so the hunting began…

finding raw denim is pretty easy… finding it in my size and for my price range UBER HARD

I wear a 25 in jeans… yea, yea… I’m skinny (I’d like to call it petite lol)

so when looking at the raw denim first thing I noticed it is catered to men and men do not wear my size… or do they?

due to the recent craze of skinny guys, a skinny girl like me has it a LIL easier… guys get smaller and smaller every day and now niggas is wearin the same size as me… creepy, I know

so I scoured eBay… hoping to find a deal… found some WeSC, denimbirds, april77 and some Taknamui… or some shit like that… too bad I didn’t have the money to buy these items when I found them lol

but this was for a reason…

I was getting discouraged thinking I would NEVER find a pair in my size under $100… I’m sorry… in my state I can’t even drop Nudie money lol… and their like the cheapest… and I saw cheap monday, their cheap too… but… I didn’t want that skinny of a fit

long story short… I have found my pair… Urban Outfitters now distributes an unbranded brand… I picked up a size 28 in the skinny fit and guess what… they fit!!!

I need some MAJOR hemming lol (which is why I have the cuffs… these bad boys is going to the tailor tomorrow)… peep the pics… crappy albeit, sorry

(I’m assuming the crotch is doing that seeing as their suppose to be a peen there… their men’s jeans… now that I look… kinda unsightly…)

I’m excited… hey, I’d rather spend $78 on my first raw pair than $100+… this is me feeling out the waters… giving this a try for the first time you know?

I’ll update on the progress (and other things for this blog… kinda let it slip away from me lol) but I’m excited to see how this goes

wish me luck! HAHA
