Distressed Denim--Hot Or Not Trend

 

My fellow fashionistas it's the eighties all over again, distressed denim is the in thing for Spring/Summer 2009. I remember when Salt-N-Pepa pushed it real good in their shredded denim. I wanted to be them, but my parents thought I was too young (wink wink) and the tattered jeans were too "risque."

Now, I don't mind a few holes here and there on my jeans, but I don't like it when it's so distressed that I look unkept. There's nothing fabulous about that! I'm not willing to spend $200 bucks for holey high-end denim either. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Cali-girl and I looovvvveee wearing jeans, but I get the latest trend for $27.80 at Forever 21 versus $230 at Bloomies. The other thing is you can make em yourself. Buy a plain pair of jeans and cut them up with a razor, then wash and dry them and voila! A trend is a trend, which means it won't be en vogue for long. So there's no point in breaking the bank to be in style. I haven't jumped on the distressed jeans bandwagon...I probably won't. Do you guys plan on getting a pair of ripped denim?

In my opinion, most certifications (i.e. Microsoft, A+, etc.) are useless pieces of paper that, at most, show somebody spent some time scanning through books or sample tests and can regurgitate answers to questions that might appear on a "certification" exam.

Hands-on industry experience is far more valuable and useful in the real world. It proves (1) that you indeed possess sufficient knowledge of a given topic/technology, and, (2) if you are confronted with a problem or situation in which you lack expertise, you are resourceful enough to obtain (whether it be via colleagues, reading manuals, conducting web research, calling vendor support, etc.) the information necessary to arrive at an effective solution.
