Using my dad as fashion inspiration.

Denim on Denim comes in and out of fashion. One year it is hot and the next it is the top of the fashion "Don't!" lists. I am here to say my dad has rocked the denim on denim all my life. He always makes it look cute and charming. He doesn't care about what is cool he cares about wearing what he is comfortable with. He just happens to now be totally IN.

1983



He even knows how to dress  it up! Just remove hat!
1987



(I really wish I had a scan of this! It is a phone picture of a framed photo at my grandparent's house)

So today's outfit is inspired by you dad. Bet you didn't know you were a total "Do" (actually if asked he would claim to be totally stylish)

The wind coming off the water today was hilarious. I originally had only one button on my shirt done and it kept opening it so I had to keep buttoning more.(I have a cami on too)



Not my chicest look.

Try again



Imagine it with only one button. You have to imagine it because mr wind. I think it looks fun! Now you might think OH denim on denim. But it isn't technically its Chambray on Denim! CHAMBRAY??!! you say? Chambray is linen and denim's love child. You can tell chambray from denim because it tends to be lighter weight and it has distinct white threads in it. I took a picture of they together to give you an idea.

This was my attempt at looking cool with a little smolder. I kinda look concerned instead.



I am no James Dean. He was the KING of that look


















He was so handsome it will make your teeth hurt. So I hope you guys dig this outfit as much as I do. But where is it from you ask? OK I'll tell you! (banter too much?)I entered and won a gift card from Lands' End Canvas and Lucky Magazine  on Monday. I had to spend it immediately and it was Cyber Monday so I checked my email for offer codes for $50 off $150 orders!!! So and I ended up getting This shirt, jeans, bangle and also not pictures but a scarf and this blouse!  I literally saved money by adding more things! If I hadn't got the bangle or scarf my order would of been say $125 or $130 but by bringing it to over 150 I got $50 knocked off! I paid the extra for express UPS shipping and I ordered Monday at 9pm and it was at my house Wednesday at 3pm!! How is that for service. The quality is amazing and they guarantee EVERYTHING.

That is the kinda of company I like to give my business too.The jeans I got are the Fitted Flares. I read the comments from people to help pick a size and they mostly said they ran small. I am glad I listened and went up a size. Even at that they JUST fit me. Perfectly actually. I just can't gain any weight ;) I am a 8 pants in most stores and all my current jeans are and I have some 6's(not a lot admittedly) and I went with the 10's or the 31s and I am glad I did. A coworker  totally unprompted actually said to me this morning how they were a great fit. Score! I have been trying to find a new pair of jeans for MONTH. I have no joke tried on at least 30 styles in the past month. These are PERFECT and $59! I was willing to shell out for JBrand and these fit MILES better than those did at a fraction of the price. I will definitely be buying more of these. They have stretch but they don't feel like stretch jeans at all. If you asked me I would of guessed they were 100% Cotton. This shirt fits how they said. Relaxed fit. This is a medium. The blouse I got in a medium as well but it way too big and I will be exchanging it. If you are curvy and having a hard time finding jeans I would highly suggest you try these out. They have the best return policy too so no worries on that!

Have you checked out the Lands' End Canvas line? 
It is the stylish sister to their regular Lands' End line. (I own a lot of Lands' End but you know what I mean) While I was given a gift card I was not asked to review it favorably or at all! The gift card paid for it all but I did pay for the shipping. They just asked me to take pictures. I just am REALLY pleased and I will be given they some of my Christmas business for sure! I wasn't sure if this was silly to include but when I was trying them on and looking in the mirror Waffle kept slapping my butt. She hasn't done that before so I can only guess she likes them. I had a hard time turning in time to catch her doing it.
