Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
For this post, I chose two outfits
with denim for the spring weather transition
(it's been a slow, wet one here)
Denim is one of those miraculous fabrics that is so versatile,
it can be adapted to all types of clothing
and worn in any season
It is manufactured in an amazing variety
of weights, washes and colors
Denim is a good choice for so many occasions, as well
Did you see Da'Vine Joy Randolph's
incredible gown designed by Zac Posen for Levi's
at the Met Gala?
I like to always have some updated pieces in my wardrobe
How about you-are you a denim girl?
For my first outfit this week, I am wearing
a light wash denim midi skirt
with an A line shape, two deep on seam side pockets
and an attached waist sash
I tied the sash in a big bow for this wear
I do wish the sash was detachable,
and not sewn into the side seams, thou
This would have made the skirt more versatile
Worn with a ribbed knit faux wrap variegated heather knit top
in mostly a dusty pink color
For jewelry, I picked out a very special vintage necklace
to add interest to the outfit,
and fill in the wide V neckline of this top
The necklace is of stylized fishes,
with faux gemstone eyes,
and has a burnished texture finish
My jewelry is minimal, a yellow and rose gold tone wrap bracelet, and large hoop earrings
Carrying a cognac adjustable strap bag
that has the look of a mini grocery sack,
and wearing my favorite western look booties
with studded curved tops,
because they always look right with denim!
this one with classic straight leg, medium dark wash jeans
The floral print peplum blouse
has some "Peach Fuzz" in the floral print
along with another shade of orange, brown and a little blue
This style of floral and the colors in it always make me think 1970's
For jewelry, a gold tone hinged collar necklace,
triangular blue stone bracelet and drop open circle earrings
to go with the general boho look or the outfit
Carrying the same bag as in the first outfit
For shoes, cognac woven suede block heel slides
I will be packing most of my darker wash denim
including these jeans,
and my darker shoes and bags this weekend
to be brought back out in the fall
Denim from the past-
this is one of the items I was wearing in the spring of 2017!
Do you remember that major off-the-shoulder moment?
It was revived in 2016 and was a big trend for several years
I only partook in this trend with a couple of pieces,
and this lightweight, light wash jumpsuit was one of them
I tried it, it had mass appeal for day time and casual wear,
which I thought was a little unusual
The jumpsuit just did not feel like me,
and was consigned after a hand full of wears
Not one of my best CPW outfits!
Hope you all have a good week!
