Denim on Denim

Who said people who wear denim on denim cannot be trusted? I say, people who wear denim on denim and get it right are trend-setters. To get a maximum effect from your 'denim on denim' trend, add an edgy accessory to the piece for a timeless look.

Where I got the pieces from....
Long sleeve shirt from H&M
Denim skirt from Levi
White heel shoe from Matalan and
Sunglasses from an Independent Store in London

 The best way to improve your personal style is to create as many styles as you can. Before you could only do this using a board and cut-out pieces from magazines or newspaper. Now, you can do that using your mobile device, anywhere at your convenience. I must warn you though, they can be addictive. I was contacted by #StyleIt team to try their new app. I was sceptical because I had tried a number of apps and they all look the same, plus they take a while as you copy and paste images. But I decided to try StyleIt anyways and see what happens. To my surprise, it takes less than a minute to create a look. All you need to do is upload a look, or select a look from a website (web and camera options available). Once this is done, you select an item category and click 'styleit'. Ten different style options are presented and you can choose whichever you like. As simple as A..B..C
