I have an admission, I've been doing double denim again. Or denim on denim as they say in the States, think I prefer that. In the words of the great Edwyn Collins, I can't help myself. It's never very becoming to boast, but after spotting a J.Crew western-style denim shirt for £98 at the London store opening, I held out till my New York Christmas trip and managed to snaffle one for $23 in the sale. What a gift. Thank you Jenna. The J.Crew western denim shirt is the same style as the one below but in a slightly darker wash. It's a lovely weight, slightly heavier than my other denim shirts and perfect for now. So I've been wearing it non-stop. With white jeans a la Emmanuelle Alt, a pair of worn-out indigo jeans (it's only a matter of time before they're completely crotchless) and my J.Crew coated black denim Toothpicks. In order to give my New Favourite Shirt (NFS) a break, I'm thinking of buying the lovely chambray popover style (above). At £78 it's not so quite so pricey as the western style. Might even pay full whack this time.

And here are some of my favourite denim on denim wearers:
That's Not My Age is moving over to Wordpress shortly and it's making me very anxious - I don't want to lose you all! Stay with me.
Good luck with the move - we will follow you there! I adore a denim shirt with just about anything, including double-denim, and can you advise how I can look like Kate M? xo
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. Although WP took some getting used to, I'm ultimately happy with it. Lovely denim on denim! I've been eyeing that popover top, one of the few denim shirts without double boob pockets.
ReplyDeleteHope the move goes well...I do denim on denim almost every weekend...love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the denim shirts. Loathe that half-tuck:). And love Wordpress, have never looked back! Good luck in the move! Perhaps some big hunky mover guys will help;).
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of chambray shirts I love and have been looking for a proper denim version for ages without luck. Might try the pop over style. Good luck with the move - see you there!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move!
ReplyDeleteDenim shirts are something I so often admire on others, yet have never ended up comfortable in myself. Like the white shirt. And yet I feel the tug, thanks to your post, to try yet again. . . . must resist. . . .
Hi there! Yes denim on denim is a much better way of doing this trend, I love your shirt and the ladies here working this to perfection! xx
ReplyDeleteyou know i love me some denim on denim. :) my fave denim shirt came from a thrift store for $3. i love that thing and fear it is falling apart.
ReplyDeletei'm worried about your wp move. i cannot comment on some wp blogs and have no idea why. and i also have a problem just clicking onto them. it's v frustrating so my fingers are crossed for you. x
Love my denim shirt to bits. I wear it with black jeans and white jeans but I haven't been brave enough to do the Canadian tux ...
ReplyDeleteYes, I really need to try harder to find a chambray shirt I like. I prefer the softness of chambray to denim, but they both look good. Glad to see denim on denim is acceptable!
ReplyDeleteLove denim shirts and my favorite is a cotton/tencil blend or something that never needs ironing. The top J Crew one is my fave here. I like the no pockets and the popover style is cute. I think you can wear 2 denims!
ReplyDeleteThe Rich Life's Adrienne moved to WP recently and seems to like it. Good Luck.
Good therapy to shop for denim shirts instead of fretting about the move. Your community will follow you!
ReplyDeleteYou are the first read of my day! Love the idea of denim come again.
ReplyDeleteNo worries re Wordpress--you couldn't lose me if you tried.

Here in the Great White North idol lie denim is called the Canadian Tuxedo
ReplyDeleteWhat is the impetus for the move?
ReplyDeleteMy hb wears denim shirts nonstop, so I settle for jeans only.
ReplyDeleteeditor of that blog - I keep hearing you can do more stuff with Wordpress, though I'm a complete technophobe so probably won't! And it seemed like a good idea at the time...
ReplyDeleteI love me a nice denim shirt: those are lovely examples.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Kudos to you for exploring. I am sure it will be fine.
ReplyDelete(In all honesty, I mostly laughed because I am likely to buy a new pair of frames this month and I suspect when I bring them home, "it seemed like a good idea at the time" will be my explanation.)
Love your selection here. Denim and chambray are so incredibly versatile at any age and always looks fabulous when worn by those with a dash of penuche.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, most of my favourite bloggers are moving to word press. Am I missing something here? Warm regards.
Love the pic of Linda Rodin. WP is awesome and easy to use.
ReplyDeleteLove the denim shirt. I love wearing them with my my tank tops and bermuda shorts. Now I have been inspired to wear it even more.
