It's been a beautiful few days in my home town so what better excuse to get your midriff out. Summer for me is a tricky time of year as, like a lot of you, I'm not body confident. I'm a size 12, I have a tummy and an arse which I am proud of but of course I still have a lot to work on. I am in no way claiming that I'm supermodel material and that I should be showing everything off, because I shouldn't, but my message to you is to stay within your comfort zone. The worst feeling is going out in something you feel uncomfortable in because you just think everyone is looking at you. As it's been lovely weather but still quite breezy I opted for a pair of ripped boyfriend jeans and a really light weight blue shirt to create you guessed it a denim on denim look.
Recently I haven't been feeling wearing a lot of jewellery but denim on denim is the perfect look to complement that as it should be all about the denim and not the accessories. I also don't wear boyfriend jeans as I'm not super tall and skinny so they make my legs look like chunky chips but I thought I'd try these out as they were super cheap. I was honestly pleasantly surprised with the fit and comfort of these jeans as they are so nice to laze around the house in but as you can see they are really easy to dress up too. Usually I'll buy jeans that cover my stomach but it's nice to have something not so restricting but still flattering. When wearing denim on denim one of the basic rules is to stick with darker shades when you need to cover up and flatter shades when you want to show something off which is why I balanced the jeans out with this light blue shirt. I've had this shirt now for years but it's so easy to wear. Unlike denim this shirt is really thin so it's perfect for layering up or just wearing it as it is.
And last but very not means least are one of favourite things I got for my birthday last week. I'd been eyeing these babies up for a while and didn't know which colour I wanted as they do a dark green camouflage as well but I was over the moon when I received the blue pair. Pointed court heels are everywhere right now so why not mix it with a interesting pattern which is still really subtle. I thought they were really fun and something I haven't really seen before and they didn't disappoint. A massive round of applause for New Look.
Denim on denim is bang on trend right now but it's so easy to get wrong, stick by my tips to get it right. The two biggest pitfalls of denim on denim is assecorizing too much and sticking with the same shades of denim. Denim on denim is a really exciting trend and when done right it can look nothing less than amazing so have some fun with it and don't be afraid of the double D's ;)
