Beginner's Guide to Denim on Denim

Vintage Levi's Jacket / American Apparel Sweater / Acne Jeans / 3.1 Phillip Lim Flats (here or here) /  Vintage Calfhair Bag

Denim on denim can be a scary trend for some people to wrap their heads around. My go-to tip is to contrast your denim washes and (you guessed it) proportions. In my outfit above, I’ve mixed white skinnies and a boxy, light wash jacket, naturally lending itself to a bit of 90s vibe. Paired with a pop of a cobalt sweater, pointy flats to elongate the leg, and my new and favorite haircalf clutch, the outfit comes full circle. Shop my look about to dip your foot into the denim on denim pond.

White Out

J.Crew Baseball Tee / Acne Denim / Birkenstocks

Another favorite "go to"= all white. I'm on the verge of wearing my white birks just about everyday and adding them to an all white outfit (even casual) elevates the entire thing. I also snagged this tee in J.Crew's sale section with an additional 40%. Winning. Shop it all by clicking the links above :)

I feel like maybe this post should have background music, no? First, the title. Second, I was singing "Happy" by Pharrell during this entire shoot. You just can't help but dance when you hear it! Anyways to the point of the post! White outfits are chic and never go out of style. Even more so, white jeans are an essential in every girls closet. Whether skinny or high-waisted flares, they are a great item to include in your spring wardrobe. Pairing a white top and neutral shoes makes a tonal palette that instantly looks sleek, and for shortish girls like me, gives you a long and lean look. To mix it up a bit, add a blue denim jacket like mine that I snagged from Patricia Field for a whopping $40! Cue Pharrell and happy dancing.
