apricot’s closet: white denim.

white jeans 012

tank top is from Forever21; white denim jeans are from Gap; boots & harness are from Alicia; skull necklace is my own.

On Sunday night, I went to a Gap Born to Fit party, hosted by Kerri & Nicole, where all of the party-goers received a pair of pants of their choice FREE. We were served delicious hors d’eurves & mixed drinks, & were assisted in finding our perfect pair of jeans by some very nice Gap specialists. We even got free valet parking! I felt like such a celebrity.

I ended up picking these white denim pants (retailed at nearly $70!), because for some reason I was enamored by them. From the moment I saw them, I knew exactly what I wanted to do to them: I wanted to obliterate them. I wanted to slash some slits on the legs with a knife, & dull down the threads with a cheese grater — much like a pair of shorts I did before.

& so, the next day, I went at the jeans with a kitchen knife, while Jonathan watched in horror. (He felt like the jeans looked fine as they were originally, but I wanted them to look as punk-rock as possible.) I am very satisfied with the result.

& we’ll see how long this pure white hue lasts, especially with my messy eating habits.

    I absolutely LOVE how you put your unique spin on those. LOVE that you couldn’t NOT have them because you knew what you wanted to do with them. I’d love it if you could please be my personal stylist. Thanks :)

    As usual, I’m jealous of your style. You’ve got it going on! (and yes, I know that sounded cliched but I believe it’s true!)

    Great white pants! They wouldn’t last long on me. I’d spill tomato sauce on them for sure. That’s what happens to all my white shirts.

    I really, really like this outfit. There is something so simple about it even though it has that rocker edge. And I love the jeans a lot. I, too, have been tearing up my jeans for years (since high school I’d say) and it’s so fun.
