Double Dose of Denim

// Genetic denim shirt {a sleeveless version here} / Zara jeans / vintage Gucci purse / Vans sneakers / Ray-Ban wayfarers / necklace by Petite & Co //

Finding the right balance of denim on denim is not always easy but after picking up these jeans in the prettiest sky blue color at the last Zara sale, I finally felt ready to try out the look. I like the idea of using two contrasting shades of denim to create a more subtle colorblocking to prevent looking like a mechanic in a denim jumpsuit.

I added some quirkiness to the ensemble with my latest thrift store score, polka dot Vans, and this adorable necklace from Petite & Co. The Etsy shop is great for stocking up on simple jewelry for stacking and everything is extremely affordable. I'm already looking at items to add to my cart. Yikes!

And thanks to my sweet mother-in-law, I can say that I now own a Gucci. While rummaging through her closet, she found this little gem just dying to be used again. I, obviously, had no problem taking it off her hands. :)
