Ripped and distressed jeans and jean shorts

Given how my journey into cross dressing started many years ago courtesy of Christine 1.0, one of my latest shopping trends has its origins in a sight I beheld on one of the evenings several months ago when I walked through one of the tribal casinos in Connecticut fully dressed, perhaps even in the outfit you see me modeling in my avatar.

Standing outside a restaurant on the promenade with a group of friends waiting for a table was an attractive young woman in ripped jeans. Fashionably ripped for the most part, but there was one massive tear just below the bottom of her zipper which almost allowed one a view of the crotch of her panties if viewed from an angle. Given that I was wearing a dress and a wig and presenting as female that night I tried not to be too obvious in being fascinated by that sight and for the most part I succeeded, but it has stuck with me since, to the point that recently I've begun deliberately looking for ripped and distressed jeans and jean shorts for myself, especially with the weather finally turning warmer here.

My acquisitions so far have been from Torrid, Lane Bryant and a few other brands, either in person (new or from Savers) or online in various stages of distress. Some I have tastefully distressed further, not to the extreme of that young woman at the casino but with strategically placed and executed tears in front, mostly by expanding slightly what was already there, a tiny peek of whatever panties I'm wearing is possible as I move about or reach in and out of one of the front pockets. There is a certain exhilaration in going around in this slightly daring look but I've kept it from being a distraction to others. On my days off from work last week when I've changed after my physical therapy sessions into an outfit that includes some of these jeans not only has my further customization gone unremarked but the overall look has gotten positive comments. If my membership hadn't limited how many photos I can have up at any one time I could exhibit what I mean by tasteful yet slightly daring. Perhaps once I figure out how to make room for it I can do so.
