Hot or Not: Denim on Denim

Greetings Fashion Friends,

Happy Hump Day!!! We're trudging along through this week, hopefully making the best of our blessings and placing our own unique stamp on the world. Hmmm....I'm falling a little short of that latter mark. I've been a wee bit unfocused the first few days of the week but its not too late to buckle down and get some things accomplished. My list is long but I'm determined to check every single line item off by Friday! I don't know about you, but when I write stuff down, I get things done because I hate to see it not crossed off my list. #motivation

But before I get to work, let's get the day started with fashion! I spotted a picture of the lovely Rihanna via NicoleBitchie.com and her outfit warranted a fashion question from me to you all........would you wear denim on denim?

Rihanna is rocking a pair of destroyed denim in a rugged wash paired with a denim button down top. The leather jacket and patent leather booties adds rock star edge and I'm absolutely loving her two-tone curls here.

Denim on denim can be a tough look to pull off. However, I think when you pair two denim garments of different hues, it works fabulously. In other words, a black pair of jeans paired with a blue denim top looks striking. This also works with different shades of the same color. See below for an example.

I love to see my fashionistas push the style envelope. It's so badass, lol. In the set above I combined two different shades of blue denim to create a chic, yet unique look. Pairing denim on denim is not really trendy and I love it. I ironed a burnt, crispy hole in my denim top so I'm on the prowl for a new one....SMH.

So what do you guys think? Is denim on denim HOT or NOT?

Arrivederci!
