Lookbook - How To Wear Denim on Denim

Did you shudder a little when you saw this title? In fact, I was a little scared too to try denim on denim as it can be a tricky look to pull off (remember Britney and Justin at AMA 2001?) But I had challenged myself to create an outfit for which-  
1. I wanted to try denim on denim without using chambray shirt
2. I wanted to use other than my skinny jeans
3. I wanted to make a workplace outfit with denim
And this outfit came out winning (damn you Charlie Sheen for ruining this word for me!), if I say so myself! I love this short sleeves denim jacket for its structure and I paired it with a white button down and a dark wash jeans. To balance the masculinity of all that blue denim, I am wearing my prettiest pair of pumps (just love these pink rosettes!) and a string of pearls - what do you think?





 


Jeans, Bag - Ann Taylor
Jacket - Body Central

    You look, quite simply, fantastic. It looks like a business suit made of dark denim, instead of a Manitoban Tuxedo (I'm not sure what the non-Canadian equivalent to that would be ... ). Super chic (and you may have inspired a future outfit, actually), I'm really glad I popped over here from my FB notification from the FBFF group. Cheers!

      Thanks FF! Yes, the similar dark wash of denim helped it make look sophisticated!
      Hope to see you soon back here!

    I think you pulled it off and the fact that helped was that both the jacket and jeans were almost the same color :) :)

    This is a perfect workplace outfit! You did a great job with the styling as it is normally done with a chambray shirt and it is nice to see the look worn a different way! xx

    Love it! This outfit makes me regret sending a similar short sleeved jacket to a swap! But I could never figure out how to wear it. I adore the little pop of flirty floral with your shoes. Nicely done!!

    yes, you broke a style rule! But my word you so so in style. I love your high waisted top and love that the white shirt peeks out underneath. Everything fits so perfectly and you look a mile long. Definitely worth pinning!
