TREND ALERT! TREND ALERT! Distressed Denim is everywhere and to be honest it is a long time favorite of ours. We have both been distressing denim for years causing us to only have denim with massive holes and rips. It is something about knowing you can purposely rip holes in something and no one will judge you for it...THE BEST. We have taken the trend and made it our own because that is what you are suppose to do with trends make them unique to you! On top of all that we found a new place to take our blog pictures can you say AMPED. Finding new scenery is always a plus and we have been on the hunt for months. (definitely off topic, but its okay.)

Back to this distressed denim, we want to give you some tips and hints for distressing your own denim. 

1. Use your old denim or thrift store denim. Why? because it is inexpensive and if you mess them up you are not out of a lot of money. (FYI: if you have never done it before will mess up your first pair.) AND yes our denim is from the thrift store. $10 total for the skirt and the pants! 

2. Try to use denim that is 100% cotton. This is the BEST for distressing because it frays and rips really well.  Denim material with spandex does not rip as well. 

3. Try different methods of distressing. You can use: sandpaper, knives, blades, scissors, and really anything with a sharp edge or rough surface.
