Acid Trip . . . 300th CC post!

Today’s post is dedicated to outré denim trends, such as the recently resurrected acid wash, or “Snow Denim”, as Fellow Fashionista and South African native FashionAbility calls the look pictured at right. Whether perforated, painted, destroyed, bleached, backward, or stonewashed, jeans are taking a beating, and the effects range from radiant to repulsive…
