Way to Wear Wednesday = 7 ways to wear a Denim Jacket

Happy Wednesday Beautiful ladies!  Do you have a denim jacket? If not you really should. I feel it is one basic piece everyone should own. I personally have Multiple denim jackets in different washes. 

Here I am showing you 7 different way’s  you can wear your denim jacket besides the normal Tee shirt and Jeans or with basic shorts.

  1. Wear with a Lace or Floral Romper to dress it down or give it sass.
  2. It looks great with a tight jersey or form fitting dress.
  3. Paired with tulle, it dresses it down, as to not look as if your headed to a party.
  4. Wear with a pencil or tulip skirt. Darling with an Aline as well. I love denim with skirts, I think it gives it edge.
  5. Paring with Cargo skinny pants adds another texture to help define your outfit.
  6. Worn with a maxi skirt gives a more laid back casual look!
  7. One of my favorite ways to wear a denim jacket is with a floral or lace slip/cami dress and booties for a touch of country!                                                                                                                            Tip’s on purchasing a  Denim jacket, buy a good quality one so it will last for years. Make sure its fitted and not boxy! (this is important for wearing with dresses and skirts) find the weight you like. I have a spring weight which is light enough for Spring/summer and a heavier weight for fall/winter. If it your first denim jacket make sure you love the wash and it will work with a bunch of what you already own.  I like Lighter wash for All my Spring/Summer clothes and Medium wash for Fall/Winter.       (Kut form the Kloth Denim jackets are my personal favorite! They Fit amazing, wash up awesome and have a bunch of washes seasonally !)                                                                                                                                                                   I hope I inspired you to wear your denim jacket in a few new way’s and if you didn’t own one you now will want too! OX, D’Arcy                                                                                                       *Light wash Spring weight Denim jacket above is Kut from the Kloth

—3 WAYS TO STYLE— The best tip any stylist could —3 WAYS TO STYLE—

The best tip any stylist could give you…
Is when your shopping and something catches your eye, make sure you can style it or wear it 3 ways.

This helps you get more use out of your closet, which also helps you  to create different outfit with items you already own.

How cute is this babydoll eyelet lace dress, with v neck and slightly puffed sleeve. An affordable find that can be styled so many ways. 

I created 3 easy to style with this great summer to fall transition dress. 

1. Coastal- shell necklace, raffia sandals with a straw bag
2. A little western with red cowboy boots, a scarf, Horsebit necklace, and a cowboy hat 
3. Work wear- styled with a blazer,cane and leather kitten heals and a cane clutch with tortoiseshell chain handle
