Denim Days

Happy Monday!

We hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready to talk fashion! We're just going to jump right into today's FASHION FIXATION du jour which is jean jackets!

Jean jackets have been in the fashion world for so long. They are so classic and versatile. Stores such as GAP and J. Crew have had jean jackets on their racks forever and have helped to introduce many new ways to update and wear this key denim piece. For example, a perfect spring outfit could be your denim jacket and a cute plain or patterned sundress with fun sandals and jewelry. Or, a great pair of shorts and a blouse could also be topped off with a jean jacket. However, please avoid head-to-toe denim. To quote a friend, we do not want you wearing a "joutfit", a jean-outfit. Think Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards. Spears in a jean dress and Timberlake in a denim suit and hat... ya. A jean jacket should always be paired with an outfit that has fabrics other than denim. Florals and navy always look great. Your jacket should be fitted but should also allow room to layer pieces of clothing underneath it. A medium wash matches most articles of clothing. A light wash is great for summer; where as a dark wash is great in the fall. Embellishment was cute in the 90s, but is not so cute in 2011. Keep it simple because you are going to want to be able to wear this with a lot of your wardrobe.

We hope this insight into one of the most classic facets of the denim world is helpful. We want you to enjoy a stylish spring season!

Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
