Cape: J.Crew (old, similar style here); Turtleneck: J.Crew; Pants: c/o James Jeans with a DIY front slit, similar pair here; Shoes: c/o Sigerson Morrison; Necklace: Yochi; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban (borrowed from the man friend); Watch: Michael Kors
Finally got on board with the front slit jean trend -- and I'm not sure why it took me so long! Took some scissors to this pair of jeans that were slightly too long for me (which let's face it, describes most of my jeans) and I'm so tempted to do the same to a few other pairs. Like a modern take on a boot cut jean that still shows off your shoe. Win, win all around.

unfortunately, and fortunately, jeans are never too long for me so will not be able to indulge in this trend; looks great on you!

I love capes, and nude is a great colour for you, love the addition of the necklaces to add some extra glamour!
Ooh, I have a pair of jeans in mind that this would be perfect for. I am loving your whole look here!
I love the front slit jean look — never thought of trimming regular skinny jeans! Definitely going to look through my jeans and see what I can do.

Maybe actually getting a pair of jeans with zipped end will make the lool a bit more refined? lol Afterall the fabric will start to frail after a while right?
GREAT idea on how to make a pair of our own slit front pants!!!! also the cape is too adorable.

Did you just cut them? Did you add a seam or anything to prevent fraying?
Love the black and camel combo.
