Forever 21 Jacket (similar style) | Madewell Shirt | Vintage Levi Jeans | Old Navy Sandals | Sam Edelman Sunglasses

You can’t go wrong with stripes and sailboats. Sprinkle some denim in and you have timeless look. I paired mine with lace up sandals and a leather jacket to give it a bit more edge. This is a great quick outfit idea for running around on a Saturday or a Sunday brunch. It gives you that balance of put together without looking like you tried.

On another note, denim is a staple of my wardrobe that I absolutely love. I have been getting a lot of use out of mine in this mild Bay Area weather. You can dress it up or down and these Levis are some of my new favorites. I have been cruising the internet for a vintage pair for quite some time. I ended up finding mine at a Goodwill in the men’s section. I always love a good treasure hunt, especially when it involves clothes. Below, I have included some links if your looking for that perfect pair of worn in denim. Are you getting good use out of your denim this summer?

I love me some distressed denim, along with some denim on denim action. You can totally pull this off by mixing different washes on top and bottom.

Madewell Chambray (SIMILAR) | Abercrombie & Fitch Jeans (SIMILAR) | Old Navy Sweater | Madewell booties | Vintage Western Belt (SIMILAR) | Forever 21 Watch (SIMILAR)

I added a western belt, my favorite booties and boyfriend watch to complete this look. The honey comb sweater adds some texture without over powering the stars of the show, the denim of course. Whats your favorite way to style your distressed denim?

Overalls

Overalls | Vivian and Violet

Overalls could be one of the first words that comes to mind when thinking comfortable, lazy and a day of painting. They usually are not the word that comes to mind when thinking chic, fashionable and bold statement. Well, think again! Overalls are still having their moment in the spot light and they are even better than before.

I fell in love with these from Madewell. The zippered front and tapered legs had me snapping a selfie in the dressing room to my besties. Their denim is always top notch and since i’m a shorty, I loved that I didn’t have to alter them. Have you took a trip down memory lane and snagged a pair of your own??
