Denim on Denim

Chambray shirt / Striped blazer (inspired by this) / Boyfriend jeans / Silver metallic oxfords / Baublebar earrings (old, similar here)

I've donned on the Canadian tuxedo. You know, just trying to channel my inner Britney/Justin circa 2001 in this outfit. If you are not familiar with the Canadian tuxedo, it's simply a denim on denim outfit. Denim on top. Denim on the bottom. The key to making this outfit work is having two different washes to help break up the look, and not to be too matchy-matchy. I opted a lighter wash of the chambray shirt to contrast my dark boyfriend jeans.





I also added some a bold pattern and metallic accents to dress up this look a little bit. The striped blazer gave it a bit of that nautical feel to the look. And since I chose a baggier or looser fit jeans, I thought the earrings added a touch of femininity and pop of color which made it spring appropriate. This pair would also make for a cute spring accessory (and it's available in two different spring-ready colors!).





I've been loving these metallic oxfords lately as it instantly added a bit of an edge to my outfit. I'm definitely going to be wearing these more often for spring.

Scalloped

Everything in this outfit is pretty much my latest favorites all together. Especially the shorts! I love the feminine feel of these shorts because of the scallop detail, and the fit is perfect. No alterations needed.

Happy (almost) Labor Day weekend! My work week is wrapping up today, and I can't be anymore excited for 5:30 pm to come and start my four-day weekend.

Beetlejuice

Last week, my lovely friend, Heart, asked me to accompany her at the Teen Choice Awards. I've never been to an award show, ever, so I said... "ummm yessss" with a bunch of emojis. And this was what I wore to the event.

Lookbook: Polka Dot Skirt and Chambray Shirt

Over the weekend, I spent half a day at Santee Alley in Downtown LA with my friend Heart. Even though Santee Alley is only a few minutes away from where I live, I've only gone a handful of times.
