Spring Denim

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

For this post, I chose two outfits
 with denim for the spring weather transition
(it's been a slow, wet one here)
Denim is one of those miraculous fabrics that is so versatile,
it can be adapted to all types of clothing
 and worn in any season
It is manufactured in an amazing variety
 of weights, washes and colors  
 Denim is a good choice for so many occasions, as well
Did you see Da'Vine Joy Randolph's
incredible gown designed by Zac Posen for Levi's
at the Met Gala?
I like to always have some updated pieces in my wardrobe
How about you-are you a denim girl? 
 

For my first outfit this week, I am wearing
a light wash denim midi skirt
with an A line shape, two deep on seam side pockets
and an attached waist sash
I tied the sash in a big bow for this wear
I do wish the sash was detachable,
 and not sewn into the side seams, thou
This would have made the skirt more versatile
Worn with a ribbed knit faux wrap variegated heather knit top
 in mostly a dusty pink color




For jewelry, I picked out a very special vintage necklace
 to add interest to the outfit,
and fill in the wide V neckline of this top 
  The necklace is of stylized fishes,
with faux gemstone eyes,
 and has a burnished texture finish 
 My jewelry is minimal, a yellow and rose gold tone wrap bracelet, and large hoop earrings  



Carrying a cognac adjustable strap bag
that has the look of a mini grocery sack,


and wearing my favorite western look booties
with studded curved tops,
because they always look right with denim!




Another outfit with denim,
 this one with classic straight leg, medium dark wash jeans
The floral print peplum blouse
 has some "Peach Fuzz" in the floral print
along with another shade of orange, brown and a little blue
This style of floral and the colors in it always make me think 1970's



For jewelry, a gold tone hinged collar necklace,
triangular blue stone bracelet and drop open circle earrings
to go with the general boho look or the outfit 


Carrying the same bag as in the first outfit


For shoes, cognac woven suede block heel slides


I will be packing most of my darker wash denim
including these jeans,
and my darker shoes and bags this weekend
 to be brought back out in the fall 


Denim from the past-
this is one of the items I was wearing in the spring of 2017!
Do you remember that major off-the-shoulder moment?
It was revived in 2016 and was a big trend for several years
I only partook in this trend with a couple of pieces,
and this lightweight, light wash jumpsuit was one of them
I tried it, it had mass appeal for day time and casual wear,
which I thought was a little unusual
The jumpsuit just did not feel like me,
and was consigned after a hand full of wears
Not one of my best CPW outfits! 


Hope you all have a good week!

Your peplum top is darling! I love the peach and orange shades. Denim is such a fabulous material and so versatile too! I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Hi Di,
Love the skirt you are wearing, such a pretty cut. I have bought different cuts of denim skirts and love the ecru one I have. Your accessories are always thoughtful.
Have a great day!

Your 70s style denim outfit is so cute! I still have my dark wash jeans in rotation but I will soon be switching from jeans to my denim skirt once true summer weather arrives.
