Go Get ‘Em Denim

Hello there! Thanks so much for everyone’s vacation good wishes! I did have a wonderful and restful vacation, so much so that I feel excited about this work filled summer! I won’t bore you with the details, but just know that if you are feeling close to burning out, take a week off, follow these guidelines, and you will come back with no more dark circles, a straighter back, and a recharged battery.

So here are my tips on pulling off a denim on denim look..

DENIM ON DENIM if you dare

1. Different Shades of Denim
Make sure that your denim pieces are of a different shade BUT ALSO that the shades mesh well together.

2. Different Denim Weight
Make sure that your denim pieces vary in fabric weight to balance the look as well as keeping it interesting!

3. Simple Accessories
All denim will already turn heads, so play down the accessories and keep it simple!

This is a super cute summer look! As always, I loooove your accessories – you are an accessorizing queen! I think the contrasting denim colors help tone down an all-denim look, that’s what I did today, too! 😉

Thanks so much! It means a lot to me that you think I’m good at accessorizing haha. Sometimes I get self conscious because I feel like I don’t put enough bling on like other bloggers.
