Lashed leggings

Secondhand sweater, American Apparel leggings, Jessica Simpson boots with vintage boot strap.

I was floored by Scott Schuman's shot of Anja pre-show at Balmain and was inspired to recreate her leggings/tights. I think I still need to work on some of the rips a bit to make them descend in size order.

Fab idea and I love the vintage boot strap!

K said...

the rips stand out more because of the single color of the outfit. i like this idea!

Judith said...

you let your bangs down! this makes me happy.

leann said...

i love this outfit, its fierce!

Abbey at MilkChildren said...

Ah Ah Ah. This idea is defiantly as leann described.... "fierce". Maybe I might try it myself :)

Anonymous said...

This outfit is way better than the last one.

Rumi said...

Fierce, rad haha. Thanks ;)

Judith, they're finally at a length to where I feel I can almost wear them sideswept again...which is way more exciting to me than you can even imagine.

Le Fashion said...

I have been obsessed with Anja's leggings!!

These look great :)

R said...

I love the vintage boot straps, it makes your boots look like a completely different pair. The legging idea is really cool too, even though it seems simple, Im sure Id mess it up somehow haha.
Oh and I love how your bangs look now, you may have hated them awhile ago but now theyre perfect!

Jenny Cindy said...

Wow that looks amazing. I might try doing that to my old leggings too.

belle.chantelle said...

love this
especially the boots
*rawr

Camilla said...

I tried to do that with a pair of leggings but it did'nt work, I love your blog and your style!

La Condesa said...

Definetely a fiercy look!

Although I'm not quite sure I like it, uhm.
The top and the boots, they are great, but I think the leggings make me feel somehow unconfortable, like you've been injured and need help

SHOEBOX said...

I think I have to take a pair of scissors to my tights soon, I´ve been seeing this look all over lately...
Love the bootstrap on those boots!

LuVvy said...

You know what has a pretty neat looking effect as well?

Black nylons that have runs in them, but wear them as a top (as in cut the crotch out and use that as a neckhole)...we used to do this for dance class--

very post-apocalyptic looking.

VERY Bladerunner.

Cheers! LuVvy

Tara said...

sarah said...

Great idea! I've got an old h&m leggings and scissors, so...

Liv/e in Both Senses said...

Love the ripped tights, but I think they look just as cool with the rips not all being the same.

Like the chunky jewellery you've teamed it with too

Anonymous said...

you can do no wrong.
i think you should make more personal posts like about your favorite makeup tips and tricks or products, what you wear when you wanna be comfy, ectect. like, a tutorial type of thing?
i'm sure it'd be a big hit since we all admire everything you do. wow, that sounds creepy. hah

Anonymous said...

you should wear these with your over the knee boots from a few days back...

looks good though, did you use something to seal the slits?

rain said...

i loved that anja pic, too. god, i love anja so much that i think im going to name my future so far non existent child. yesss.

i may have to borrow your slashed tights idea. so fantastic. you look fucking great as usual.

and yea, did you use fray check on these?

rain said...

*name her after anja. yea, my brain cells died there for a sec.

Nature Grafitti said...

LOVE the leggings
i something similar to a pair of tights, but the holes kept growing and growing... but yours look amazing!!

Angela said...

you are sure to start a blogger trend with these ripped tights

i'll just be waiting to see all the bloggers dyi-ing this

fashionispoison said...

the boot chains are HOT. bliss lau is selling some on her site in the near future i hear? agh, great outfit girl.

Anonymous said...

Everything looks great...but you need a hair straightener...ASAP.

vivian said...

i really like your hair, too.

Barbara said...

awesome...I need to make these and a tshirt!

Vicki said...

wow colin did an amazing job with these shots, the colors are amazing

it doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous rumi!!!! i'm so jealous, killer boots too

Taghrid said...

first picture= amazing

My Fashion Frenzy said...

Looks hot on you.

Anonymous said...

Do you ever dress down/ slobby? Some pics would be great for insipration when we don't feel at all too glamorous. Either way, love your style!

Fashion Fille said...

fantastic job. i looove the boot straps! i've never even seen anything like that before.

Mike said...

you mesh well with balmain ish type looks

the leggings look great

Anonymous said...

mike, the shot was from a run- through before the Balmain show...Anja was wearing her own clothes.

i like the idea of the slashed leggings and it looked good on Anja, but they are a bit unflattering on your perfect legs! it makes them appear bigger which they are definitely not! your hair and bangs are looking lovely though x

caylee said...

rumi, perfection!
those boot straps maKe your jessica simpson's look brand new.
& that first shot is beautiful, i'm so glad you can wear your bangs down now too =)

Petra said...

This is comeple and utter perfection. You are gorgeous, the leggings are gorgeous, your hair is gorgeous... Everything!

meowmeow. said...

Nita-Karoliina said...

that idea is so good!! i might stole it,:D but i have different idea of wearing it.. :)
love your blog :)

stylemagnet said...

i loved schuman's photo of anja, too! and those bootstraps are wonderful!

FashionSongbird said...

black black black. One cannot go wrong with that. You look lovely as always. I'm trying to hard to grow my bangs out too!

lulu said...

Oh you're so fat why dont you eat something! jk jk. I feel like no one has made a big enough deal that this is Rumi's like FIRST diy. Rarrr sexxy.

lulu said...

And yes, I meant to write you're so FAT why don't you EAT. That makes sense... :/

Dakota77 said...

Great photos! With those straps the boots look like a completely different pair, nice trick:-).
And Anja is from my country:-)

Tali said...

lulu i noticed that too actually and like i said i really like what ya did(rumi) with the boot straps. i can imagine all that comments probably are hurtful :(.

some people suck. you don't. neither does your diy leggings. which im copying haha.

btw im checkingback because i really wanna know where u got those boot straps lol

tal said...

um more than they dont suck, they're awesome haha forgot to add that part~~!! ^_^

Gabrielle said...

wow. i love this rumi ! the leggings, the boot strap..

NOT only that, but it's inspiring how you keep giving these great outfits when jealous haters give rude comments.

rumi rocks :)

Anonymous said...

Anja is the definition of fierce.

lulu said...

Its been a looooong day...

Rumi said...

Hi, I just wanted to answer a few questions about the cutting, I'll get back to more specific comments in a bit - I didn't use Fray Check, though it sounds like it's probably a good idea, and the strap I took off a pair of black vintage boots I haven't worn in a while - Tali those that you posted are VERY tempting, well hunted!

Hannah Cheeto said...

Those are sick. I'll have to try them myself.

Luxe. said...

Everytime I see those boots I can never believe they are Jessica Simpson?! I need some slashed leggings in my life!

ashleigh said...

i love the bootstraps where are they from? and the cut leggings are so great. did you seal them?

also NEVER straighten your hair it carries an entire truckload of sex appeal on its own!

and unlike what anonymous thinks YOU make those boots and i actually like seeing your "dumb face" :)

ahh the things people come up with to make themselves feel better!

Renée Sturme said...

i was looking for those straps on ebay a couple of weeks ago. you make em look great. the entire outfit rocks.

Anonymous said...

Rumi! Tell us how you created those rips!!1

Hadar said...

your entire outfit is perfect ^^ love it

poeta fit, non nascitur said...

Sofie said...

I love this outfit! youré leggins looks nice.

christelle said...

TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Cassie Casserole said...

I simply adore you're boots!

Meredith said...

Fabulous idea with the leggings!

Anonymous said...

I think a tutorial is necessary for these. I tried, but I think the leggings I used weren't a smooth enough knit.
