denim & bling


I'm all for the slightly masculine, minimalist fashion that seems to be defining us all lately, but every once in a while it's nice to undo those top buttons on our shirts, show a touch of skin and put on a little bling.  Contrast it with a simple utilitarian chambray shirt and you're good to go.  (Extra points for pairing this look with jeans, as I did today, for a head-to-toe texas tuxedo, or canadian tuxedo, depending on where you're from.)

  2. That just looks gorgeous - the blue against the gold. I don't have a blue denim shirt though I did buy one last year but returned it as it wasn't the perfect fit. Perfect colour, perfect fading but not perfect fit.

    I love the minimalist looks too but I can't do fastened up collars without feeling a bit choked and also because I have a short neck so I nearly always wear my shirts and blouses with the collars unfastened. And yes it's nice to have a peek at a little bit of jewellery - love the little apple!

    1. It's oddly hard to find a good denim shirt actually! This one from J Crew is chambray, but it's a little heavier than your usual chambray, while still being lighter (and easier to wear) than actual denim. I have good luck with J Crew button-downs in general, have you tried them?

      The apple was a gift from my aunt when I was born, and still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry to date!

  3. The denim contrasted with the gold looks wonderful, and there's never anything wrong with a Texas tuxedo - it's all in how you wear it! And I think it's safe to assume you looked quite chic.

  4. Love the contrast of the denim shirt and the golden necklace (which, by the way, is super cute).

    1. Thank you, it's actually three necklaces layered, I felt like I needed the combination of weights and textures.
