Canadian Tuxedo Edition

 

Doing my own version of the Canadian Tuxedo today. Denim on denim can be a risky move in my book - but it's super cute when done right. Here are a few of my denim tips:

1. Style different shades of denim. I never wear multiple pieces of denim that are the same color - layer light and dark denim for more dimension.

2. Embrace the current trends. Adding in a few trends can make just about anything look more fashion forward - in this case, I went for the braided pigtails and chokers. This dainty layering choker is so on trend from the lovely Laci and Gold! She has so many cute pieces in her Etsy shop!

3. Accessorize to break up the denim. I added some dainty gold jewelry and a fun hat with a chambray accent to add some diversity.

4. Invest in a good denim dress. I wear my denim dresses all the time. Because no matter what season, they're always in style. I can wear them on their own, with a jacket or vest, with tights and boots - the list goes on! I love this one from J.Jill because it's crazy comfy - but definitely size down one because it runs a little big.

So go forth and style your denim hearts out!

Winter Blues

Over the years, I've found vests to be one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. You can layer them over (almost) anything and they're an easy item to grab on the way out if you think you'll get chilly later. Most of the vests I currently have are puffer vests, but once I saw this vest from Evy's Tree, I knew it needed to join my collection (and it's on SALE!).

This vest is more chic than all of the other vests I own. And bonus - it's navy and brown, which makes it the perfect neutral for any outfit; but it also has a fun plaid pattern lining the inside to add an interesting statement! I chose to keep my outfit fairly neutral with a denim on denim look, but this vest would look great styled with a skirt, sweater and OTK boots or a long sleeve dress and some tights this winter!

Denim on Denim

I've always loved the full on denim look - but I never really knew how to style it. It can be slightly intimidating to wear a full on denim look. But here are a few easy rules to follow - as long as you're not wearing the exact same shade and you've got a few accessories that aren't denim - you're golden. Hah! Everything in moderation, right?

I paired this chambray denim button up with these dark rinse boot cut jeans (both from J.Jill)! To break up the denim a bit, I added in a few accessories. I find that a little leopard makes every outfit look instantly more chic. And my final touch was the limited edition pearl charm Compassion Fund Bracelet from J.Jill. 100% of the proceeds from this triple wrap bracelet go to support homeless and disadvantage women become self sufficient. So you can look cute while supporting a great cause!
