Denim on Denim




Jacket: Gap; Tank: Dolan LA; Necklace: Freefall Jewelry; Sandals: Zara; Skirt: Madewell; Shorts: Madewell.

This past weekend was the fourth of July and it had me thinking about my favorite American traditions, and the certain fashion trends fall within that category. A self-proclaimed pants-hater (I force myself to wear them from time to time for style's sake), I have trouble finding comfortable and stylish denim alternatives to jeans! However, the classic denim jacket can be thrown on with anything, and my denim skirt takes the place of uncomfortable and too-for-summer jeans, as do my chambray shorts (not quite denim but close enough!). While I know we've got another year ahead of us before the next fourth of July, if you'd like to keep that patriotism going with your reds, whites, and blues, try out some denim on denim.

Looking for inspiration? Check out a Denim Story by Emily Current, Merrit Elliot, and Hilary Walsh. Emily and Merrit are the women behind Current Elliot and now their new project, This is the Great (whose lookbooks blow my mind), and Hilary is an incredible photographer with a killer instagram that allows you to follow her work.
