These I Could Do

October 14, 2008 by WendyB

Slashed leggings are the latest fashion blogger must-have (look here, here, here and here), but I don’t think I’m going to go there. I’m (a) not a spring chicken and (b) don’t work at Conde Nast. Some styles demand at least one of those qualities. But these jeans I could do.

Split-knee jeans
$258 at Oak
Spotted by gorgeous blogger Vyque at Fasshonaburu

It would be funny if I wore them with my open-shoulder black turtleneck.

    Those jeans are pretty cool! I love everything at Oak. I wouldn’t wear the slashed leggings, but Susie’s jeans are awesome.

    those jeans are great!
    personally, the it style i am passing on is the drop crotch look…
    i would wear slashed leggings quicker…

    There are very few facets of my lifestyle that overlap with a Conde Nast employee’s.
    p.s. Wendy, if you wanted to rock slashed leggings, you could rock it hard.

    Whatever is a drop crotch look? Something I’ve never understood, since way back in 1965, is the distressed look on perfectly good clothing. I remember hearing a tremendously spoiled fraternity boy, a Kappa Alpha, say that his family’s maid washed his new jeans over and over with a load of rocks so that they’d look not new when he wore them at Mississippi State. Golly!

    Love the jaans…as for the slashed leggings…I think those just look “old”.

    I would just look like mutton dressed as emo in slashed leggings (actually I kind of think everyone looks kind of emo in them). The peepknee jeans are cute though!

    The jeans are slit-tastic, a better alternative to the leggings!!

    Gah. These just make me roll my eyes. They’ll be out before anyone even knows they’re in.

    Hey – Thanks for the blog comment.
    Haha your call on ‘I don’t work at Conde Nast’ made me laugh.
    I don’t know, the slashed leggings and jeans looks to me like a neater version of the ripped jeans and not nearly as rock and roll.

    Funny and AWESOME. I hope I get to see the t-neck with these trousers, Wendy B.

    i think they’re fab and believe you could totally pull them off (does it count that i used to work at conde nast?). i’d suggest getting a cheap pair and slashing them yourself!

    love the jeans, hate my knees. Please wear them w/turtleneck!

    I really like the look of these jeans.

    I also like your idea—pair them with your top. I think I might have seen that one, at Butter!

    LOL@ what Skye said. Emo!!Hee-hee! Um, to the pants. No than you. But, I feel sure you could totally pull them off.

    “and (b) don’t work at Conde Nast.”

    I almost had iced tea come out of my nose. That is my favorite quote from this week.
