Blur the border of an Image

My question is how can I blur only the border of an image? The image itself should not be blured, just the border.

EDIT: done..thanks!

Looking at your comments on Sagar Kodte's answer, is this what you wanted?

img {
  border: 2px solid #000;
  box-shadow: 0 0 8px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}
<img src="http://visitwabashcounty.com/wp-content/uploads/6056710418_03fda4569b_z-150x150.jpg" />

I added a border of 2px to the images and a box shadow.

"Out there" idea:

I'll preface this by saying css variables are coming in fast but are not everywhere yet (Just IE lagging behind I think).

That being said I think they are a wonderful idea and will put this answer here just so you know of their existence.

.red {
  --border-color: #900;
}
.green {
  --border-color: #090;
}
.blue {
  --border-color: #009;
}
.clown {
  --border-color-top: green;
  --border-color-right: yellow;
  --border-color-bottom: red;
  --border-color-left: blue;
}
img {
  border-top: 2px solid var(--border-color-top, var(--border-color, #000));
  border-bottom: 2px solid var(--border-color-bottom, var(--border-color, #000));
  border-right: 2px solid var(--border-color-right, var(--border-color, #000));
  border-left: 2px solid var(--border-color-left, var(--border-color, #000));
  box-shadow: 0 -4px 10px -1px var(--border-color-top, var(--border-color, #000)), 4px 0 10px -1px var(--border-color-right, var(--border-color, #000)), 0 4px 10px -1px var(--border-color-bottom, var(--border-color, #000)), -4px 0 10px -1px var(--border-color-left, var(--border-color, #000));
  margin: 10px;
}
.img {
  border: 2px solid var(--border-color, #000);
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px var(--border-color, #000);
  margin: 10px;
}

You can do it by using box-shadow property like below

TIP: you need to match the shadow color to your background or image border for the desired effect.

.image-blurred-edge {
    background-image: url('http://visitwabashcounty.com/wp-content/uploads/6056710418_03fda4569b_z-150x150.jpg');
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    box-shadow: 0 0 8px 8px #fff inset;
}
<div class="image-blurred-edge"></div>

Using img tag you have to use pseudo element that is :before

.shadow
{
    display:inline-block;
    position:relative;
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
}
.shadow:before
{
    display:block;
    content:'';
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
    -moz-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 8px 4px #fff;
    -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 8px 4px #fff;
    box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 8px 4px #fff;
}
<div class="shadow">
            <img src="http://visitwabashcounty.com/wp-content/uploads/6056710418_03fda4569b_z-150x150.jpg" />
    </div>

Considering your last comment Try this solution.

.shadow img{
  border:2px solid #000;
  box-shadow:1px 1px 10px 2px;
}
<div class="shadow">
      <img src="http://visitwabashcounty.com/wp-content/uploads/6056710418_03fda4569b_z-150x150.jpg" />
</div>

As long as you wrap the image in a div you can apply a box-shadow to that.

It will appear under the image to start, so you need to apply a lower z-index to the image

body {
  text-align: center;
}
.img-wrap {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 2em;
  box-shadow: inset 0 0px 4px 4px black;
}
img {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  z-index: -1;
}
<div class="img-wrap">
  <img src="http://www.fillmurray.com/284/196" alt="" />
</div>
