Get Your Denim On - Classic Chic....

Denim is making a real comeback.  

So don't be afraid to indulge, after all it is a classic. They will never really date. 

The look this season is all about the light blue hue called light vintage ... go for worn distressed look denim in pale blues almost whites.

Especially for spring/summer they are an easy throw on and if you get the right shape (think fitted) they can go over anything... especially skinny jeans, maxi skirts, tailored shorts, tube skirts, summer dresses, boyfriend jeans, pencil skirts and baggy pants..... the list is endless. 

So here are some ideas for a chic "I just threw this on" look. Don't forget to roll up your sleeves!

You can wear this look at any age and look chic just choose the right classic accessories and consider your body shape in choosing pieces.

As always great dark ray ban style sunglasses and a colourful bag will bring you casual cool look together.....

Looking at these button down jacket and shirt options they are a great relaxed classic for everyday wear.
