Back when "Flash Dance" was out (man, I loved that movie) ---- I had to cut and make over several of my sweat shirts to try and make them look like hers! I thought they were very se*xy! LOL!

love the fringed, and released hem denim,

I had a pair of white jeans/cropped that I wasn't crazy about so I picked out the hem and now I have a released hem white jean for the summer.

@jackthebear

And saved yourself a lot of $$$, too!!!

@AngelPuppy1 maybe you know I am all about the bargains, but I probably did :-)

This may have been posted already, but I did not see it if so.

What are your thoughts on this trend?

For a while I had seen various people on t.v. wearing jeans with the hems out --- for lack of a better description. And I'm thinking --- this looks kind of unkempt. I mean, back in the day, when we wore a pair of jeans forever and the bottoms started to get ratty and raggedy, the hems would get all frayed and there would be strings, etc. And it would be like --- well, about time for a new pair!!!

Even, the shorter jeans --- like crops or whatever you want to call them are featuring this style. Not sure how I feel about it??

Then, the other day I was browsing in a couple different stores and I see denim dresses and tops with the raggedy hems also.

In one way I think --- well, kind of cute in a very casual, fun, playful way.

In another, I think --- they are already half-ways destroyed! LOL!

What are your thoughts? Would you buy them -- wear them?

Oh --- and while I am on the subject of denim --- did you happen to see the jeans that are out wich are already dirty/muddy? Unbelievable! They had them on the news and Mike Rowe was commenting. HA! I think it was Nordstrom that had them --- but not sure.

Yuk. What will these jeans look like after a few washings? Yes, it's Nordstrom who is selling them. They sold plastic see through jeans, too. I think they do this for publicity.

I guess I was "envogue" way before it became the style! I am tall and I remember, when I was younger, cutting the hems down of my jeans to make them longer.

Got me a pair and I love them. I love skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans too.

With a simple summer tee and flipflops, I like the frayed hems on jeans of any length! However, I don't care for them with pumps or dressy accessories. Make up your mind...casual or dressy!!
