Denim on denim. A tricky pairing, truth be told. When done right you can look as hip as Leandra (A fun post of hers from the early days) and when done wrong…well, you risk looking like Justin back when Ramen noodles perused his head.
The secret to the look is two fold. The first is simple & must be always upheld. Wear different shades of denim. The second is one of my own making that I feel helps to wear the trend while infusing personality (a must with any outfit you choose). A Canadian Tuxedo with a twist, if you will. Emphasize an outfit accent besides denim. This could be done in many ways including utilizing a color, layers, or accessories.
I chose the color pearl to be my outfit accent, since I first paired my shirt & skirt with a dainty bow belt to accentuate my waistline. To play up the color further, I chose pearls. A shocking choice, I know. And to down play the color a bit, I chose nude heels choose as to not “over-pearl” my tux.
And there you have it — a Canadian Tuxedo with a twist.

Such a beautiful look! I totally mix and match shades of denim as well – love how you incorporated that sweet belt! (and still laughing at the JT reference!) 🙂

Love the pearls and the polka dots are such a fun little twist!
These are great tips – I love the color combination of denim and pearl. I might have to make a nail polish look to mimic this!!
