{ blue jean } baby





{ look 1: karen walker sunnies, vintage beaded collar, michael kors sequin-striped t-shirt, corello belt, vintage levi's cut-offs, dedegumo watch, primary clutch, alexander wang shoes // look 2: custom sunnies, proenza schouler t-shirt, corello belt, calvin klein men's jeans, vintage bag, stuart weitzman shoes }

grazia.it recently asked me to style up two denim looks: since this trend is not in my go-to comfort zone, it was a fun challenge. ended up putting together two similar-but-different ensembles, composed of the sort of staples that almost everyone has laying around: slouchy jeans and stripey tees. click over to grazia to see more!!

I love the first look! It's both casual and glam at the same time! Though I agree that everyone has striped tees it can be really hard to find the perfect one, don't you think?

Love the look with the cut-offs! It may not be your comfort zone but you really carry it off convincingly. Stunning clutch too. J'adore.

Rocket Fashionista said...

Love how you simply just styled the stripy tops with denim, they both look gorgeous, one's more dressed up, the other dressed down. Perfect for a lot of occasions!

I think I've worn jeans maybe twice this year, so I definitely commend you for stepping out of your comfort zone. Love the first look with the denim shorts. The accessories keep help dress up the look and make it more "glamourai"!

Cute. You look so laid back and put together at the same time, but it's those heels making it again. You will never go wrong with those. I like you in laid back styles and basics. You added just enough fringe, the sunnies and fancy accessories to make it yours. Very cool and of course glamourous like dress up! I like!

You make an almost effortless look - denim and a slouchy striped tee - look so chic!

Anonymous said...

I have to say, I can really see how you find it difficult to style jeans. The second look is easily the most generic look I've seen you wear. This is not a slam, because usually you look brilliant.
