Memo 176: Sweating the Denim Trend

Guess who's loving the denim trend this season? Me!

Let me explain. Denim can look good whether your pieces are from H&M or Gucci especially with the help of a good tailor. It's pretty amazing on tons of different body types and there are so many ways to incorporate the trend with all of the denim pieces that are available. 

I paired my denim pieces with a pair of H&M sweatpants and neutral accessories. I initially wanted to go for a completely all denim look but the color of my denim pieces neither complimented nor coordinated with each other. They just didn't get along! 

Trend Tip: Pay attention to your denim colors when opting for an all denim look.

Oh, it's casual Tuesday, baby!

I pulled out my favorite pieces from the Peter Pilotto for Target collection. I'm almost guaranteed to get the sweatshirt from every designer collaboration. They're so CAYUTE!

I paired this one with some comfy Madewell denim and the Peter Pilotto for Target shoes. I added some accessories to make it look like I cared, because I do.

Make it a great day, folks!

Someone once asked me "Do you always wear heels? Can we see something with flats?".

Sure can. 

I wore this look to get my car repaired. No need for heels at the mechanics unless….never mind.

I've featured these Sperry Top-Siders before here and I still feel the same way about them. I seem to always pair them with these pants and this bag. Comfortable to the max!

Let's talk about statement coats. As the temperature turns down (the opposite of turn up), the outer layer becomes increasingly important. I like to make a statement as each layer is removed but I have to start from the one that you'll likely see in these upcoming winter months. Let your coat do all of the talking!

And please, a moment of silence for the scarf. 

*silence*

Amen.

How 80s of me, I know. I couldn't resist. And it was completely by accident. I started with the Armani Exchange denim pageboy hat and the Melody Ehsani Queen of the Jungle Necklace just felt so right. We won't even talk about the skirt. Like, let's not even acknowledge it.

Wait, but the skirt was $20. Ok, I won't mention the skirt again. Hold on, but people left it in the store for WEEKS! Like, no one even wanted it. I'm done talking about it. For real this time, I won't mention the skirt again. 

One last thing, there were a few sequins missing from the front of the skirt BUT a few missing sequins should NEVER stop you from having something fabulous. 

Message: Get a good tailor in your life. Now.

Anyway, check out the video. It's poetry in motion.
