Double Denim



Ah, double denim is a risky business. I've steered clear of double dipping since I was in a Bewitched tribute band back in high school and for good reason. No girl aims to look like a truck driver or Shakin' Stevens when they get dressed in the morning. 
Putting this on was purely down to necessity rather than choice as I'd left most of my clothes in London and needed something aside from a polka dot mini-dress to go to food shopping in. I grabbed some jeans I had lying around and borrowed took forever a men's XXL denim shirt from a friend. 
I'm still not entirely convinced. But if you're thinking of transporting yourself back to the 90's, try and mix a darker denim with a lighter one for contrast, don some jewellery to maintain a bit of femininity and pin, tuck and roll your shirt so you don't drown in denim. That would be a terrible way to go.
Less like this and a little more like this 


Yay or Nay for DD?
