3 Second Fashion Show - Double Denim Edition

When Wendy B and The Coveted tell you that Double Denim is in, you better listen to them! So this post goes out to them.

Of course, I don't do single denim very often (I have a pair of jeans, this skirt and this jacket) so you won't see much of the double denim trend on me. However, today I was feeling casual yet chilly, so double denim was it.



The jacket was from the SJP Bitten line, the top's from Old Navy and the skirt is Gap. I decided to tuck the darn shirt in after I saw this picture. Gah!




For shoes, I was equally relaxed - little printed satin flats from Old Navy too.




I never say never to the fashion trends.

The Outfit
Finally, I get to wear some of my new shoes for this season. Plus a new shirt. For some reason I can't find my shirt on Old Navy's site or on Polyvore, so this will have to approximate. The color is the same but my shirt is a collarless polo with short sleeves. It was so comfy. I went neutral with a khaki skirt and brought a cropped denim jacket in case it was cold in the office.




The Focal Point
I've been waiting for a sunny day to wear these Bettye Muller slingbacks. The fabric is a pique, I think with a great botanical print. I like how the fabric is in the toe area too, although I don't want to get it messed up. It's too pretty.



I don't think I had a pair from this designer before but I really like them. They feel very solid and well made. I got them from Simply Soles. The colors are warm and a bit muted so they will go with kind of preppy-ish items as well as safari looks too.

It's Friday and it's been raining all day. Snore.

I wouldn't mind a nap right now but nope, gotta work. Sooo....

The Outfit
Pink SJP Bittne tank under my Mizrahi brown herringbone blazer with the faux suede collar and elbow patches. I'm wearing this over jeans and have accented with a vintage Weiss strawberry pin.



My pin looks like this one but the rhinestones are more iridescent. I have a single strawberry version too which was my grandmother's. One of the few things I have that were hers.



The Focal Point
The brown herringbone pattern is in both these shoes and in the jacket. The shoes are the Lela Rose for Payless Finsbury in brown. It's a cute style and a pretty comfortable heel.





This blazer makes me feel sort of scholarly with it's patch pockets. I think that is such a cute detail. I think I need to get a sweater with patches to really go the full bookish look though.
