Fashion Friday: Denim on denim

FREE IMAGES

I had a bit of a fashion realization this morning: I rocked denim back in the day! Denim jeans were my go-to staple of the '80s, as you can see from the above photo, and I wore them proudly. Well, The New York Times recently featured a street style round-up of people sporting their best denim-clad looks from around the world. And luckily, the denim-on-denim trend isn't hard to master. "The trick is to mix fabric weights and washes," says Patrick Robinson, Gap's executive vice president of design. Here are my six favorite picks for styling the look...

*Liz Claiborne long-sleeve chambray shirt, $29.99
*Boyfriend jeans in dark vintage wash, $64.49
*Classic espadrille flats, $16.95
*Stripe sweater, $75
*Roll-up jean shorts, $178
*Jean jacket in storm cloud wash, $118

What do you think, friends? Would you rock the denim on denim look? Is it a fashion do or don't? What's your favorite piece of denim attire? Let's chat... xoxo
