Midweek Musings #2

denim essentials - part 1

the shirt

Do you have a denim shirt in your wardrobe?  If not, it's probably about time you did, as it is a really versatile easy to wear piece that never dates. Plus it can be worn in a variety of ways, both casually and more dressy.  

Wear with jeans (yes double denim works folks!  Try varying the shades of denim too), over a dress instead of a cardigan or jacket, with a floral skirt or with sweatpants.  The denim shirt looks fab under a jumper too or thrown over a swimsuit as a beach cover up.

Back in Black

Hey, it's the weekend again!  Happy Saturday.  Let's hope you're reading this with a cuppa and a tasty treat.  This week we're all about the black jean and have we found some beauties for you.  The black jean is our latest crush - think Anine Bing (last three pics), and you'll get what we're aiming towards - laid-back rock chic.

So let's start with our usual inspiration, courtesy of Pinterest and many hours of browsing...

And here are the highstreetedited favourites,all available online at the time of writing..

I have these and they fit true to size.

How to Style?  We'll be wearing ours with a leopard jacket from last week's post, black boots, (here's an alternative) and a cashmere sweater.  What's your preference on styling a black jean?

See you next Saturday, have a wonderful week,
