fold-down.

top.aa. jeans. TH. shoes. ninewest. bag. marc by MJ.

the fold-down.
Wow 1990's hey? I remember doing this in Junior high, but it definitely wasn't cool then and IT most certainly isn't cool now.

I simply wanted to hide the little Tommy H. flag on the pocket, so I folded down the waist band. This took place mostly for disguise, but comfort certainly played a role. I wore this in the comfort of my own home for the better half of the morning, but was whisked away on a errand and remained "folded" all.darn.day. Weird looks. yes. but I can promise you I've never been more comfortable in jeans (goodbye waist band chaffing!!!)

You are like a model in the way you can pull of pretty much anything type of clothing or trend (even the "fold down" which I'd actually never heard of until now :) Well, probably because during the 1990s I was living a secluded house-on-the-prarie type life, and didn't know a thing about trends and fashion! :P) and look soooo amazing at the same time!

Anyway, I'm sure people weren't giving you weird looks...they were probably just awed by your extreme awesomeness and effortless style! :)

And aw, I feel blessed to have met you too! *internet hug* (which really aren't the same as real hugs, but I suppose they'll have to do). And thanks for your kind words... I wasn't sure if I was just being a little brat, who was a bit upset cause someone had copied me, and whether I should really just get over it! haha :P

And oh I know! They need to make Lula avaible EVERYWHERE and to everyone! Anything less is just not enough! ;)

you have amazing photos/style on your blog! love this outfit as well, very comfy, casual- and cool. I think its either a great look for transition into fall or into spring! I totally remember rolling the jeans (fold down) but it definitley looked a bit slutty on me as opposed to the fashionable way it looks on you!

it looks like erin wasson style !! congrats dude !

ashleigh said...

ohh love. i've said it before and i'll say it again you rock these jeans like no other.

and the fold down! perfect, comfy + cute.

you trend setter, you.

it kills me that you are so modelesque, yet not a model! you're too gorgeous not to show the rest of the world and make them all as jealous as us.

thanks Lisa! i love messenger bags!

MDS* said...

Haha, I've been wearing my jeans like this very often in the last weeks. It's very comfortable for me due my big belly.
You're gorgeous!

bronwyn said...

I agree with Susanna Cole's comment, you have a natural style that money can't buy - you make the fold down jeans look incredibly hip and stylish PS Hope you're enjoying the public holiday:) PPS it was an absolute pleasure passing the award on to you, thanks for your lovely comments, so glad to have "met" you and discovered your fab blog.

Aw, I must tell you, you are seriously one of the sweetest people I have ever met online! Some people are all anti being friends with people online, but I think online-friendships can still be beautiful and lovely! Plus it's a very acessible (sp) way to meet people from around the world, without having to pay the bill of traveling to all those places! :)

Aw, I am not suprised to hear you say you're the nurturing type, I can totally see you taking care of all the loved ones around you :) And I hope they know how lucky they are to have someone as lovely as you be around for them!

And I'm glad you agree on the Jesus thing. :) You know it's funny, because as much as people think I'm independent and I guess in ways I am... when it comes down to it, I'm totally dependent on Jesus. Actually we're all kind of controled by something... even if someone is like, "I'm going to be indepedent and make a successful career for myself!" they're actually controlled by that desire for a career, because if they don't get it they'll be miserable and think they've failed. Or something like that... I was reading this in a book, the author explains it way better than I can! :P

Anyway, hope you're having a lovely/day night way over there in Africa! :)

I wish I could pull off fashions without looking sily. You did style effortlessly.

You are so pretty, your hair is so soft and natural :)

mel: thanks girl. so sweet.
yes for sure sure !!!

Unknown said...

yes yes! i love the fold down. anything that wasn't cool and isn't cool is exactly what i want to see and wear. i think the best results can come from sort of a "counter intuitive" aesthetic... and you are a testament to that right here!

Ashleigh said...

I too like to do the 'fold down" ;)

♥ Marta ♥ said...

Those pants look awesome on you .... I really like how simple yet very chic your style is. :)
