... Well, I'm really into it; however, matching the denim in the proper way.
Is there a technique to it? Absolutely, and it can go utterly wrong if you are not extremely careful about your pickings and may end up looking like a color coordinated farmer. No, we do not want that people.
My suggestions:
1. Make sure the denims that you are attempting to match has shades that are far from matching!!! Avoid wearing denims that are too close in color... go for a dark pant with a light top or vice versa.
2. Avoid "western" accessories; try pairing chic and "uptown/mod" shoes and jewelry with the outfit... we don't want to look like we are traveling back to 2004 when boho chic came in do we?!
3. Id try to stay away from that camel/tan color all together when it comes to bags and accessories. Again, the "western" theme is not what we want. Go for black, deep brown or Burgundy belts, bags and shoes.
4. Finally, make sure the cuts of the denim are current, borderline TOO current, possibly verging on the line of being labeled "so 20__" if you get my drift? If your not wearing matching denims that are clearly "now" fashion (ie. boyfriend patched jeans, worn denim (sooo key this season), skinny jeans etc) you risk looking like the farmer we have been trying to avoid!
I always enjoy reading your writing, Jenna. Thanks for putting together this fun blog! And for sharing your thoughts and views... You always look fabulous - and I always look like a farmer (I guess - but that's OK, I am one!)... xo Karen
