What I Wore-Denim on Denim

/ / 21 Comments

Me and the bf were discussing denim on denim over dinner last night and I think we both came to the conclusion that this rule is pretty much debunked.

I mean take a lookie at all the fantastic denim on denim going on!

(all images linked to their sources, clicky! clicky!)

My turn!

(hat-thrifted from goodwill; denim shirt-zara’s on clearance; jeans-ny & co skinny jeans)

Also, I’m really tying to get into hats this spring/summer!

I’ve had this hat from goodwill for 3 years-maybe have worn it twice! Tsk, tsk…I’m going to change that number this season!

Leopard shoes are Steve Madden from TJ Maxx bought last year, also under utilized. Nail situation is clear polish with a whole bunch of stripes done by thin brushed polish by Kiss “Brush on Nail Art”.

I completely believe you can all do denim on denim! But if you need some tips: here and here all have great pointers on how to wear this former faux pas.

P.S-Boyfriend is totally the one who inspired me to wear denim on denim…he did it first!

    Denim on denim rules!! I love the way it looks and you carry it off with ease 🙂

    Glad you like the mochila’s – the Wayuu tribe does such an amazing job. The GFC is on the right column, but no worries. I think you’re already following, no? Good Luck!! xo

    Yes! Yes! Love the denim on denim look! You finally convinced me, I bought the denim shirt I had been eying at JCrew all these weeks. Sound investment, it goes with everything. I need to work up the courage to try denim on denim next. Courage!

    When somebody wears a denim jacket, a denim shirt, and denim jeans, Mr. A calls it their “trailer park tuxedo.”
    That makes me laugh.
    I think that denim on denim can look realllllyyyy good, or it can look reallllyyyy bad. It depends on how you wear it.

    I think you can rock denim on denim nowadays, personally for me I still avoid it. I just think you need to go all out with it with some rustic boots etc almost like a dishevelled look.

    If Clint Eastwood can rock it, then everybody needs to try it. I really like your outfit. It’s laid back but still chic. I love your nail polish too.

  16. Amber May 18, 2011 / 9:24 pm

    I love this! You’re totally rocking the denim. Nice. I really love your nails, too! What a cool way to paint them 🙂

    Fashion Inspirations from the BF? Nice. Good work on the nails too, I think I might give that a try, its really different! I love hats and I like the way they look on everyone but I hate wearing them! They do terrible things to my hair… (its curly, so it goes flat on top and thats just not good) 🙂

    I agree. I think denim on denim looks great, especially if the two pieces are slightly different shades of blue. And you look fabulous, of course!
