Denim on Denim

     The recent rise in popularity of the chambray/denim shirt has lead me to a crossroads in my long time belief that denim should never be worn with denim.  My denim don'ts include, but are not limited to: denim jeans with a denim shirt, a denim skirt with a denim shirt or even the addition of denim shoes with jeans, a denim shirt and any other denim accessory.  Denim, denim, denim.  However, I will take this opportunity to publicly admit to (and possibly avoid any mistaken hypocrisy), succumbing to my intrigue.  Yes, I wore denim on denim . . . and I liked it.

     I have now revised my denim on denim do's and don'ts and have deemed them appropriate if only followed to the T.

Do: wear your denim on denim, especially if you have a great pair of coloured jeans and are looking for something other than a basic white t-shirt to pair with them.

Do: wear a light wash denim shirt with dark denim jeans or vice versa.  As long as they are distinguishably different, you're in the clear.

Don't: wear the same wash from head to toe.  It's too much...  and awful.  

I came across this little gem of Brit and JT, curiosity of

   Lesson of the day, have fun with this trend but don't over do it.  Also, personal photos to come.
