Denim Daze

Denim never goes out of style, but it definitely has its hot and cold periods. Like right now, it is definitely very, very hot, and it is my most recent obsession. Lately, denim has been my go-to for an outfit (and not just when I can't figure out what else to wear; I generally start out with jeans and build the outfit from there), because it is so classic and so versatile. And I'm not just talking pants. I'm talking literally any kind of garment and accessory can be made out of denim. And the beauty is, it can be worn for any occasion (though you may want to double check with the bride before wearing it to a wedding; nevertheless it is possible).


It comes in tons of silhouettes. The colour possibilities are endless: classic blue (then there's light blue, dark blue, medium blue), white, off-white, black, grey, and every colour of the rainbow and then some. There are different washes, and denim with a pattern, embellishment and appliqué on it.

One day you can be wearing a denim jacket with sweats, converse, and a tuque, and the next you can be wearing dark skinny jeans with stilettos, a tailored blazer, and red lipstick. I am also grateful that it can be worn for pretty much any season, as I'm nowhere near ready to give it up for fall. And there are also tons of different types of denim pieces: jackets, shirts, shoes, bags, the list goes on and on. Though I have put some of my favourite denim pieces into a collage below. Enjoy.

Graffiti

There's a little underpass with some graffiti near my house, so my sister and I decided that would be a cool place for a little photo shoot. I wanted to keep the outfit sort of hipster and urban, and also very simple, hence the black and white theme.

This outfit also includes staple pieces that can be combined with other items to create endless outfits for almost any season.

Black Hat
I believe every girl should have one. They're perfect for topping off a somewhat plain outfit, and also act as a life saver on a bad hair day.

White T
Need I say more?

Black Skirt
This chiffon one is really great for the warmer months- I can pair almost anything with it. But I've also been known to add tights to my outfit in the cooler months if I just can't find a substitute for this skirt (it's one of my favourites).

Denim Jacket
These are so underrated. I'm really glad that denim jackets have been getting more of the credit they deserve lately (you can now find one in any colour in literally any store), but only a few years ago they were considered too 90s, so I'm really happy that trend came back!
