Back to School 2011 Fall Semester

[Life]

So... I'm back at school now.

I've gotta say, I'm pretty content with everything at the moment. I'm finally getting enough sleep, waking up at normal times, exercising, hanging out with [school] friends (shout-out to Ai-Lin, btw, for getting people together for her last few days in the StL), and just digging life in general.

I live in an 8-person-suite on campus right now. It's pretty cool, everybody's really chill... and for the first time in my 3+ years in college I like my dorm room setup, haha. I feel like it might be smaller than some of the rooms I had in the past... but it feels really spacious.

Oh yeah, and I finally got to cook for the first time in forever, haha

Just some basic stir-fry, nothing special, but whatever; it just feels good to make your own food once in a while.

..and no, I did not eat the whole thing in one sitting... still got more than half left, haha.

My first, and possibly my last post concerning fashion? (Actually probably not.. I'll probably get some pics of the final fades in these jeans in a few years at the very least)

So... I'm not particularly knowledgeable about denim or anything, but one of my friends got me interested in the whole raw/denim fading and selvedge cut thing. A few weeks back I was looking to buy some raw, selvedge denim.

My first attempt ended in failure when I purchased a pair of ZAK Five Pocket Jeans (Black) from myhabit.com and they sent me the wrong size (it's a discount site so they run out of supplies really quickly so I couldn't exchange it for the right size). Regardless, I didn't know that the jeans were slim since the description didn't mention it online (definitely should have realized it from the pictures though, in retrospect). I ended up giving them to my suite-mate Thomas in the end, they look great on him :)

On my second attempt I bought a pair of "The Unbranded" (yeah that's the brand name) Straight Jeans in Black Selvedge from Karmaloop.com. While the online description didn't mention that the jeans were raw, the product came with a label claiming that they are.

(Was too lazy to set up the tripod and use the self timber... so big ups to Thomas for the shots!)

Truthfully, the thought of wearing a pair of raw jeans everyday without washing it for months is pretty disgusting... but I suppose the ends justify the means... gotta get them sick fades, yeah? Hahah.
