I love it how the changing trends make something acceptable that you had to apologize for wearing 6 months ago (see my double denim experimentations from September here). This is precisely why it is so important to just wear what you like and not to care about trends. Eventually, your tastes will be back in fashion, you just have to be patient.
I was just given these BDG cigarette jeans by Urban Outfitters and despite not being a jeans person, I have been wearing them for the past 4 days. The fit is really good, a lot like Cheap Monday's and I like that the waist is neither too high or too low. I think I may have found the perfect pair of jeans for me and I may well go and buy some more in other colours! I paired them with a denim shirt and my usual brogues. For a second I thought about adding my sleeveless denim jacket and work the triple denim look, but I dismissed it and blamed my initial impulse on too many clementines.
Jeans - Urban Outfitters
Shirt - Levi's
Shoes - Office
Pocket watch necklace - Topshop
Bird Skull Necklace - Fashionology
At the moment, my favourite necklace is this bird skull pendant by Fashionology, a great jewellery designer recommended to me by Jaja.
I absolutely adore that outfit, Americana all the way! You look gorgeous as usual ... I might go and try a pair of those jeans, the fit looks great.
ReplyDeleteTriple denim lol - haow about quadruple? you could add a jean bag maybe...
ReplyDeleteThe jeans do look adorable on you - I wish I could like myself in skinny jeans - tried on 5 pairs yesterday, but couldn't bring myself to buy any.
Hey there! You're the Glamorous cow-girl i ever seen!
ReplyDeleteJe pensais aussi à la chemise en jean de chéri-chéri ce matin ... j'adore les placards des hommes.
Bon sujet : es-tu une adepte du "le placard de mon homme est un trésor inestimable?"
You.Look.Great!I wish I could pull off skinny jeans like that. Nice one, lady. x
ReplyDeleteJ'aime.
ReplyDeleteT'es belle tu sais.
I can't get enough of the denim on denim look. It's so sporty and seventies. Your bird skull necklace is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about just wearing what you want to wear. I adore classic preppy styles and sure enough they've been enjoying the lime light for a few seasons now!!

These jeans are a perfect fit on you! I think you should go back and buy more. For someone who rarely wears jeans I think you struck gold here!

Oh, I adore this denim on denim look! I personally have no qualms with the Canadian tuxedo and you pull it off so perfectly. Those jeans look fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteyou pull off double denim so well! i only wear jeans when i'm feeling a bit scruffy or lazy really, maybe i should try harder
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! I was going to do a double denim post tomorrow but now I WON'T BOTHER!
ReplyDelete(I also wear a pocket watch necklace w/ mine which is even weirder.)
Love the blog my first visit!
I love this outfit and the jeans are fantastic, will definitely look out for them at UO next time! But, what I really really love about this post is the owl cushion in the background! Adorable!x
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try this out but there's no way my outfit would be as cute as this! It makes me want to go to Urban Outfitters and start trying on jeans!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm ever going to be able to do denim on denim willingly, but I do love how you played it down with your lovely brown shoes and copper-ish hair. <3
ReplyDeleteJaja - Yes, definitely go and try some. They have loads of different lengths and shapes, all nice (i tried on a few and chose these). Only £45 too!
ReplyDeleteBlythe - I could try it with some denim coat as well. Good skinny jeans are hard to come by. I find they are always too wide at the ankles if they fit at the hips. These ones are super stretchy so they fit just fine.
Koryn - La chemise vient de mon placard à moi parce que mon chéri est trop menu pour que je puisse porter ses vêtements! Je lui pique ses gilets de papi tout le temps en revanche :)
Lauren & Adeline - Thank you! <3
Maria - I am totally with you on the preppy style. I am a sucker for it too, I really like putting a slightly stupid twist on timeless pieces.
Jean - Seriously, best jeans ever!
Diane - The Canadian Tuxedo is one of the greatest things ever. It can't hurt to wear it from time to time! thank you for the kind words.
Helen - Till I had those jeans, I also would only wear denim for lazy days.
Caroline - I replied to you on Twitter, you have a new reader :)
Kiki - This owl has many fans, it was a gift! It is from a brand called "Pigeon".
Rhiannon - Go to Urban Outfitters and try these on, they are so good. I saw you started wearing jeans recently too, so you should deffo give these a try. And I can totally see you doing double denim x
A girl can never have too many clementines. That shirt is totally perfect with your hair. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of double denim but you do look lovely here. I'm on a jeans quest at the moment so might have to try these!

I really love your take on the "double denim" look! It's classy! I really love those jeans--rather tempting to go and hunt down a UO store nearby to try them on!
ReplyDeleteTruer words could not be said at the beginning of your post about personal likes and trends. :)

ReplyDeleteYou look super cute! The jeans fit you so well.
