The 90's were all about vintage Levi's ...vintage MEN'S button fly Levi's, and finding the right pair was paramount. There was this amazingly disgusting tiny little thrift shop on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City called Claudia's Boutique that had the BEST selection of ripped up vintage Levi's for $15 each. Claudia, who seemed ancient even then, would help me and all of my 16 year old friends, literally rummage through piles and piles and 10' high stacks of dank Levi's in the darkest dungeoniest of corners until we found the perfect pair. It was awesome.
...and then expensive designer jeans made their appearance ...ahem, super low-waisted designer jeans. I bought my first pair in 1997 in New York City, for $106 under the name Juicy ...PRE velour sweat suits with Juicy on the butt. I actually still have them {surprise, surprise} and they in no way meet the low-waisted standards of the early 2000's. In fact, they would be considered high-waisted ...but not compared to Levi's.
On Mother's Day, my mom {who has never stopped wearing them, mind you} was wearing a pair of Levi's she cut off at the knee and they had the best shredded leg you could imagine. I told her how cool they looked and she told me she felt white trash ...lol. ...and a few weeks later she informed me that my brother had been wearing a pair that he helped her paint in that had similar rips. The next time I saw him, brother that is, I demanded that he bring over his old worn Levi's for me to go through. And because he's such a great brother, he did exactly what I told him to.
Levi's now makes a low-waisted mens version and OMG IF THEY AREN'T PERFECT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!

Yes! The boyfriend jean is back back back, and I'm loving it.
I swear M, where in the hell are you storing those peanut m & ms? You are either blessed with awesome body genes (no doubt) or you work your ass out when nobody's looking.
I love them... they look great on you!
LOL K-line ....thanks ;) ...possibly good genes and no babies yet ..lol. although, it's definitely time to start working out ...everything's heading South :(
This is my favorite outfit yet. Truth.
I just discover your blog and its great!! I follow you! XOXO
The Gap's low-rise, straight-leg, 1969 jeans are the bomb. Pair it with a Fruit of a Loom all cotton white V-neck T-shirt, my thick metal rhinestone dog tags, my favorite flip flops and I'm good to go.
love them!
i still have some of mine from kensington market (where this toronto kid shopped for vintage in the '90's).

do you have anything that just doesnt look right on you?...uhhmmm not! lol, if i wore this i would look homeless lmao
and i doubt having a baby will change things for you, you might be the lucky ones and look hotter after
i was once very thin until my boy came along...the memories lol
Those jeans are extremely bitchin.' I actually had a friend in middle school who's mom worked for Levi's, and she had boxes and boxes of old men's 501s in her basement which we helped ourselves to on the regular. It was pretty awesome.
Wow they look really comfy. I would love to have a pair of jeans like that now. Love that they were "pre-Juicy" sweats.
oh too cute. i just ripped apart a pair of perfectly good jeans to look like yours.
I freakin love worn-out jeans- Cute pic Maegan
i love them!!!! you look so great, especially w/man t-shirt and cool cap to make it complete. bravo! :)
ok, you look amazing...and, the jeans are fab.
My place out on Long Island near where I grew up was "Bonnie's Jeans" - they sold vintage Levis there and I bought about 5 pairs and worshipped them. I loved them so much. They disappeared sometime in college. Someone out there has my jeans and unless they cut the pocket out, they say "Monica Lima" (maiden name) or "Moo" (another nickname)...sigh...you're making me miss them. :)
Aha! A jeans post! And don't they look great on you, not that anything ever looks bad on you, ever. I think I love your brother.
Last night Cute Hubby asked me what I was thinking, and I said "I'm thinking about how happy I was to be wearing my favorite jeans all day". Not a high maintenance girl, really. xo
Love it! I'm tracking down some Levi's tomorrow.
ahhh! that's hottt! what size would a men's size be for a lady's 25?
ahh love them! you look amazing it them! seriously this could be an ad for levis. so wish i could pull it off like you!
hope your week is going better!
Print a day ...I'm usually a 29 in jeans ....and these are a low bootcut 33 mens ...and they are baggy ...so, 3-5 sizes up?
Okay, muffin top? You have not.
Love the jeans...
Purrfecto!
I'm completely smitten. I wish I had a pair!!!
Nothing can replace my ripped up vintage denim.
I love jeans with accidental paint on them...
Totally sexy pics, by the way!!
seriously, you need to stop being so gorgeous. it's really unfair for the rest of us.
=)

With a white T, they're just too perfect! xoxo

I found your blog when I came across your fab ruffle shoe covers. Look forward to following :)
Fantastic on you. I am at the age and stage where a hole in my jeans means they are going to Goodwill. But, really, you make holey jeans look wholly wonderful.

Seriously, Lady... there are no words. You look amazing as always and I love the jeans. Is there anything you can't do??? :)

I just went blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness, i swear.
You're the only one, {seriously} that i know can rock vintage levi's jeans. You look great in them, i love it.
It is so funny, because in the 90's my friends and I would go to a head shop (where you buy pipes and stuff) to buy our vintage Levi's! This really brought me back:)
I want want, those are seriously so perfect!!
I likeeeeeeee!
I have a similar pair and they go on and the bra comes off the second I walk in the door lol!
You weren't kidding! You look smokin'... I have large hips... wonder how this would work on me. I'm on the lookout...
:)
Umm...you're rockin' those Levi's like no one's business. Could you GET hotter? I think not! I gotta grab a pair now. =) Have a great weekend gorgeous!
this post totally brought me back - way back. we used to scour the flea market every sunday for the perfect Levi's, and I'm pretty sure you've found them in those bottom shots!
Simple, yet chic!!!
