Distressed to Impress (ootd)

It’s agonising when you can’t find the perfect pair of jeans, but you see them everywhere, on everyone else, looking absolutely amazing. Like, physically painful levels of agonising. Since Seoul Fashion Week (March, it’s now June) I have been searching for the perfect pair of ridiculously distressed jeans – to no avail. They all just fit wrong. Too long in the leg, #shortpeopleproblems, too wide in the leg, not great for the bum, too distressed – I could go on but that would be boring. Anywho, it literally took a friend distressing his own jeans right in front of me to realise ‘hey I can do that, too’.

And so I did.

Since Korean jeans just fit that bit really, really oddly, I went to the trusty Forever21 (next choice was H&M but their jeans are weirdly expensive over here), nabbed a pair of jeans that already had the knees slashed so I didn’t feel too bad about slashing them some more, and took to youtube to see how other people did it. LaurDIY and JairWoo both have great tutorials 🙂

To distress the jeans myself, I got some scissors, cut a couple of horizontal lines about an inch or two (2.5-5cm ) apart, and then started pulling at the threads to give it that distressed feel. I cut a few vertical lines too, and did the same again just to mix things up a bit.

So happy with the result – and the jeans are super comfy to boot, so it’s win-win all round!

[#ad pr product] swipe for a video!  honestly i’ve wanted to try #roundlab products for a loooong time. they’re a brand that have risen through the ranks quickly, becoming known for their dokdo toner - it’s claimed top spot among many a korean beauty list. (2017-2019 hwahae beauty awards no. 1 toner)  🏝 dokdo toner 
SENSITIVE SKIN friendly, with minimal ingredients 
it’s a hydrating toner that doesn’t contain hyaluronic acid 
very gentle, soothes tired and irritated skin 
moisture balance care due to Ulleungdo deep sea water  🧖‍♀️ on my skin?
i like a toner i can layer, and i can do exactly that with the dokdo 1025 toner. it absorbs well into the skin, quickly and without feeling sticky or tacky. It layers really well.  It’s a solid start for the rest of my skincare routine. i can attest to the soothing/sensitive skin friendly ingredients - my skin hasn’t reacted unfavourably at all. It’s hydrates well for my skin, but i am not an overly dry skin-type.  it’s very comparable to etude house soon jung toner, which i love... but i think i like this one more.  🧪 ingredients 
Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Saccharum Officinarum Ferment Extract, Sea Water, 1,2 Hexanediol, Protease, Betaine, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA.  🛍 you can buy this and many other kbeauty products at @momokoo_cosmetic ~ go check them out~  #momokoocosmetic #lazada #kbeauty #kbeautyskincare #kbeautyblogger #kbeautyaddict #라운드랩 #라운드랩독도토너 #스킨케어 #koreanbeauty #koreanskincare #kskincare #roundlabtoner #roundlabdokdotoner #kbeautyvlogger #kbeautyyoutuber
