Outfit: Denim on Denim

June 11, 2012

This outfit totally depicts how I’ve been feeling lately (blue! check out the vent sesh this week for details) and is an ode to a color that has been among my favorite since I was eight years old. Man, I loved my blue. Blue and stripes and the 12-year old version of this chick was a happy girl. Now that I found my chambray shirt at the J. Crew outlet I’ve been dying to wear it all the time. I wore it a few weeks ago with pink denim (a brief glimpse here) and here it is, denim on denim style, for super casual. Funny how denim on denim was such a “no” just a year or two ago and now it’s a major “yes” (just go for color contrast when doing so).

What I love about this outfit is think about how easily this outfit changes with shoes (and perhaps a tote to a clutch, too). And, this is a glimpse at my “ballerina bun.” In reality it’s my lazy ‘do that happens about three times per week until I find a minute to blow dry my hair. As long as I keep it slicked back (I use Garnier hairspray) I’m in good shape.

 

chambray button down: j. crew factory (may 2011) // jeans: forever 21 (may 2011; just $10!! similar, same price) // necklace: j. crew bubble via ebay (details here) // flats: soludos (may 2011; obsessed!) / bracelet: baublebar / nail polish: light blue is essie and darker blue is zoya (stay tuned for colors!)

    I have recently realised the beauty of double denim (different shades of course or one ends up looking like they are in 3rd grade again…although those were the good old days :)) I  did a post about it myself. http://www.socialatte.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/do-you-double-denim.html
    There’s just something so comfortable about the combo and my GAP denim shirt is one of my favourite things to throw on that really makes an outfit.
    I am also loving your necklace! Such a fab statement piece. I wish we had J Crew here in the UK. I miss it!
