Spring Trend - Now and Later #3

makethemost

Now, I have to admit today's spring trend takes me back to middle school when I paired my oversized denim shirt with stirrup pants. However, I think the new twist on denim shirts with their fitted shapes will be a nice addition to any gals wardrobe.

Denim Shirt - Torrid, $29.98 (I have this same one!)

I still can't stomach double denim, but here are a couple of fun looks:

By adding black and blingy accessories to your denim shirt you will create a look perfect for drinks out with friends and look so on-trend yet understated.

Wide leg trousers - Gap, $34.99
Chic Braided Necklace - Forever 21, $7.80
Patent Bow Belt - Forever 21, $5.80
Studded Velvet Pumps - Forever 21, $25.80

For spring drop the dark and add fun colored chinos and neutral flats, and as always, you can never go wrong by adding a fun necklace!

Slender hip slung khakis - Gap, $19.99
Plaid chain necklace - Gap, $29.50
Coby Flats - Nine West, $20 (I have these too!)

I recently revisited a dark denim fitted shirt with black dress pants and it didn't look half bad! So great coincidence that you included it in the 'now' section! Great minds think alike? Ha!

Thank you! I just bought this shirt at torrid and one of the snaps was busted so being crafty I replaced it with a new pearl snap! It looks the same and I love working it into my wardrobe! Now I have new ideas to pull from! You rock!

I honestly thought that this was going to be one trend that I wasn't going to get into, but I'm loving it and want to find myself a cute denim shirt.

Jaime - awesome that you were able to fix it. Hope I don't loose any snaps!
