Why Did You Wear That: Denim Daze

By |April 23rd, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

 

kirsten smithIt is a given that you should own at least one pair of jeans that fit you like they were made for you.  But having just one pair of jeans is simply not enough.  Denim comes in a plethora of colors, cuts, washes, and lengths for every body type and personal style preference.  Walking into a denim department can be utterly overwhelming if you don’t already have in your head what it is that you are looking for.  We don’t often think of denim for spring and summer, but below are the styles that will get you through the steamy season and coincidentally will look great with another one of this season’s trends: crop tops.

Setting the Mood: How Very American

By |April 21st, 2014|Setting the Mood|

denim day fashion editorialThere is nothing more American other than maybe our flag, apple pie, or childhood obesity than denim.  A long time fashion staple that started off as casual and has since gone couture, every man, woman, child, and sometimes dog has and should own a pair of well fitted jeans.  Beyond being a closet staple, April 23, 2014 marks this year’s Denim Day (so be sure to slip into your favorite pair to show your support).  I had never actually heard of this event until this year, but I most certainly will be taking part- because standing up for what you believe is also very American.  So, with that said, this week will be dedicated strictly to denim.
