Blazer, H&M. Jeans, vintage. Heels, Nine West.


These are likely the craziest jeans I have ever seen, let alone actually worn. There's so much going on with them - the skinniest cropped leg, ridiculously high waist, and lattice cutouts at the sides, all executed in a delicously ugly/awesome acid wash. All they're missing is...nothing. I was doubtful as to whether I could integrate them into my style, but I tried and I think I am in love. Anyway, what is fashion without wanton experimentation? I've been trying to wear my older shoes and bags lately to, you know, spread the love - I forgot how ideal these Jessica Simpson ankle boots are. I couldn't care less about her recent delving into country music, but I must say I'm grateful for the production of these shoes.

Sorry it's been quiet here the past couple of days, my boyfriend and I have been busy having one of the best weekends of recent history - don't worry, we went a little photo crazy and I have a little over a zillion photos to sift through, resize, and post. The last two here are a preview from today's session, can't wait to put up the rest.

You are absolutely adorable, although I'm not too crazy about the jeans, you still rock them.

Jennifer said...

Wicked jeans. I'm still searching through my mom's stash of old clothes in search of her acid wash denims. Hopefully I will stumble upon them!

lulu said...

I spy white blazer!!

Taghrid said...

ok if i saw those in a vintage store i would have quickly overlooked thier potential. you definitely can make the ugly very very cool.

I normally applaud your taste for out-of-the-ordinary, but that is straight up tacky and not experimental at all.

We've been there; done that; never wanted to see it again. Sad to say, we had to see it again on one of the most viewed fashion blogs.

Tsk tsk Rumi. Slowly becoming very overrated.

LIZZ!E said...

wow at the white blazer :D!

LuVvy said...

amazing jeans. You have some serious gall rocking them out. I don't know how you did it but you made a potentially slutty look go all out classy. Really. Also: Three cheers for the layered white!

Hey can you add me to your bloglist?

i really love those jeans :) so hot !

SKYLA said...

wow those jeans are great. i am dying for a few vintage stores to appear in my small town, but no such luck.

pammish said...

WOW!

Dakota77 said...

Oh my, I;m not brave enough for jeans like that, wouldn't even liked them on myself, but you look nice!:-)
And I've been thinking recently that you haven't those bluse Nine West on for some time now, and here they go:-). And I absolutely love those boots, Simpson or not, they're really great.

WJ said...

What an unique find! You are right, I'd wear them too just because they are so hideous. Works very well with the white tank, I must say!

Frankfurt Fashion said...

jeans are great... mmh, walking on this shoes????

Very few people could pull those jeans off, but somehow, you actually do it. And I have that blazer in black and white. I didn't realise until I got my white one home that they were exactly the same. Haha

alis said...

Haha awesome wash, I see you have successfully disguised the high waist thus making them a bit easier to look at. I actually love the sides, but I managed to think of something they're missing: chunky metallic zippers. Not sure how zippers could be integrated though? Maybe on the back pockets? Then they would make it into the weird jeans hall of sh/f-ame...

Elena said...

Haha! Don't listen to Mr. Anonymous up there. There is nothing non experimental about this outfit!

I think you look amazing. When you're truly fashion forward and experimental not everyones gonna get it. That's half the beauty of it.

The acid wash jeans are definitly crazy, but also kinda look like they could have come off the SS Balmain catwalk. You look fab!

Oh, Rumi, these pants are incredible! And I admit that there is only you to dare and with success!

pearl said...

HOT jeans, you totally rock them! Is that blazer a recent H&M item?

elle said...

LOVE the nine west shoes - such a great colour!

MJ said...

great outfit! not to sure bout the jeanst though but the fit is great. Great boots and blazer too? did you get that blazer recently?

Anonymous said...

they rumi, only you could pull off those jeans. Seriously. And they look great on you! What material is that H&M jacket made of? It looks thin and easy to roll up which I love.

Meeri said...

I love your photos!
Is the blazer -by the way- from a new or old collection ?

Fanny said...

That par of jeans were absolutely stunning! I really love your stile, rock on girl!

Anonymous said...

this is awkward... but do you work out?
you're so skinny and amazingly toned!
share your secrets!

kathrin said...

wow, considering how ugly and trashy these jeans would look on a hanger, you totally pull them off!!! i am amazed!

S said...

Looking at those jeans on a rack I would definitely classify them as impossible for anyone to pull off, ever. But somehow you do!
Super, super cool.

Knight Cat said...

those are perfect, not crazy in any way. i would probably over wear them :)

Ashleigh said...

Wonderful outfit...also, would you be interested in a link trade..awesome blog missie ;)

ModeJunkie said...

i don´t know if i love them or hate them. but u make the ugly really work. i would have never been caught dead on these pants. but on you, it looks sooo cool.

Anonymous said...

Hello Rumi!
I have to say I don't like the jeans, but that doesn't mean they don't look good on you!.... I think they look better with the boots than with the sandals, but the awesome white blazer gives it an "extra touch" taking away the possible "tackiness" they can fall into if worn with the wrong shirts or by the wrong person!

Love the fact that you are not scared of experimenting, after all that's what fashion is all about, if not just look at John Galliano!!!!!

Keep it up with the good job!

rude and jealous.
you look great, rumi.

pauline said...

just looooove you pants !

Anonymous said...

i'm sorry, but those jeans were just ugly...

Anonymous said...

love them with the boots. did you actually wore that outfit in public? not that it's that daring or anything, but I really do applaud you for your style and just wearing whatever you want. I think it looks hot on you (but probably only you).

overrated my ass.

Anonymous said...

cheap and tacky-looking. and not in a good way.

wisp of a girl said...

i am a regular fan/idolator/worshiper etc... but am honestly not the biggest fan of the outfit... methinks the pairing of the shoes with the jeans? i would have LOVED to see the jeans & HOT white blazer with your sexy black sandals or mj boots. but that's just one little opinion among the many others loving the outfits.

Amber said...

Wow! Those are some seriously awesome jeans and I would definitely rock them. On a similar note, I just discovered a pair of $3 corsetwaisted acid wash cutoffs I am in love with. I think for some, the acid wash carries memories that may not need to be rekindled, which may or may not include...matching neon tracksuits and Aquanet...

Fashion Is Poison said...

ugh. i hate rude people.

i think the jeans are so rad. different and unique. the perfect acid wash, too. i love it with the h&m blazer

Anonymous said...

im so crazy about your jeans! love them sooo much, and you pull them of great!

Julie said...

OMG! I love that you think outside the box like this. What is fashion without a sens of humor?! I love it, love it, love it. Chin hitting floor a-mazement.

ANGST said...

Those jeans are killer.
You have a knack for looking ABSOLUTELY AMAZING no matter what you wear.

Can't wait for the zillion other photos!

Ediot said...

you must be the only person in the world who can look good in that kind of jeans! do love the white blazer&top and all the bracelets.
wish you a great week!

Joanne said...

I have almost the exact pair of vintage jeans except for the cool side-lacing! Love the look.

Anonymous said...

Can't help but get a laugh out of the naysayers....remember when high waisted jeans first returned and people swore they would never wear them?
Trust me, those saying they hate the jeans will be wearing them once you have abandoned the trend!

Kelly said...

It's like Balmain goes to Guns & Roses concert! I love it. <3

Miss V said...

your jeans are really nice, they suit you alot!

CoutureCarrie said...

Those jeans are retro-licious! Great bangles and index finger ring, too. Hey can we trade links?

Knight Cat said...

rumiii,

i had to comment again, i guess because i am in love with your jeans. i want them ahha. yeah keep wearing them, ignore the ignorant people ranting on, they dont even know what they are talking about..

said...

You rock this like no other. It's a gutsy look, and you make it work!! Loving this, Rumi! ♥

LINA ;-) said...

Thanks Rumi, youre sweeet :-)
Youre jeans is kind of disgustingly awesome.
I always like your outfits!

Cheyenne said...

Haha hilariously awesome jeans.
hilarious because i used to have a pair of jeans in middle school with crazy cutouts on the sides and i wore them pretty much daily.
Wow you make the ugliest things fantastic

Dana (pron. like Donna) said...

I love your style normally, and applaud you for trying something new.
It's just fashion, it's not to be taken that seriously..it comes and goes.
That said I doubt I'd wear these. But also it'd never flatter me this way.
You got fashion balls.

Marilynn said...

You are a rock star! The jeans look amazing on you. I would want to see them in a darker wash though. I agree with dana, you got fashion balls.

ouuuu beautiful jeans!

sam. said...

crispy white blazer!!! loves

vint junky said...

Tacky?! If this is tacky i want some!

Rumi, to constantly cater to Mr & Mrs Anonymous' tastes would just be predictable and boring... This is MY FAVOURITE outfit yet. And yes it IS experimental and edgy and you look phenomenal and slightly less Teen Vogue and more iD in it .

More please !!

Winnie said...

They look amazing on you! What a find!

Cecilia said...

the more i look at those jeans,the more i like them. and i love that color for shoes!

Vintage Vinyl said...

I've never seen jeans like those before, they are the coolest!
How did you get your blog to be so wide?

Elysia said...

ahh i love how you make these look absolutely fabulous- you may be the only person who could pull them off!

Terry said...

Those jeans are.. beyond amazing. Don't tell me you just found them thrifting!!

Mia said...

I swear I had those jeans in a darker wash in 8th grade! I'm pretty sure I bought them at Rainbow or the like. And it totally scandalized everyone on my block when I showed up at the bus stop wearing those bad boys...Good times!

Fashion Tidbits said...

those jeans are totally out there! wow

Jen (MahaloFashion) said...

Those are the most killer jeans ever!

R said...

I think if I ever saw those jeans haning on a rack I would be like ew... wth? Thats why I love you Rumi you can make such weird random things look so good! Im very jealous of this talent. And a white blazer, so brave haha I would get that soo dirty, but it looks really good aswell.

Luxe. said...

Love the last pic, only you could pull those jeans off!!

selinaoolala said...

these are so utterly cool, you totally work them! i love how they're cropped so they're still light and not heavy jeans, very casual

jenny said...

Kelly Louise. said...

Lauren said...

Carly said...

The jeans are darling and I adore the white blazer. Very cute

m e l i g r o s a said...

jeans are pretty rad. id wear them

Anonymous said...

hey rumi, I love the oversized tees look but I was just thinking that I think it would look better if you didn't sized up that much. Like 1 size down would be a better fit..Oh well..detail..

Anna Pope said...

Suddenly, my need for a white blazer has grown tenfold!

Mallory said...
