Denim Picks

Even before I knew there was a trend towards denim I was craving denim shirts, so much so that I've purchased three since the beginning of summer.

When I started researching for this post I happily saw a bevy of denim jackets out there and not just your average Levi's retro style but lots of styles, shapes and lengths, mind you I will be buying the retro version but I am tempted to try something new and different. 

Brands to try: 

1. J Brand for sleek unadorned styles that fit perfectly

2. J Crew, preppy styles gone cool

3. Hudson, a personal favorite of mine with great back pockets that give my booty a lift

4. Mother, flattering just off the presses styles that flatter all shapes

5. Paige Premium another brand that flatters all shapes

6. 7 for all Mankind a great Nuevo classic

7. Levi's the Original classic

8. Gap, fashion worthy and wallet friendly 

I Love all these denim shirts, I will be wearing a long denim pick with a skinny jean or legging, a dark denim shirt with boyfriend or antiqued jean and pumps or wedge booties. I would love to pair the faded denim shirt with a sequin or pencil skirt and pumps or my favorite motorcycle boots.

Denim doesn't have to be tricky or complicated a great fitting jean looks absolutely perfect with a white T and blazer, bomber, collegiate or denim jacket. Denim on denim is another very cool statement, just make sure one part of your ensemble is fitted, baggy denim all over can look teenager-ish or bag lady-like.

Who What Where Why... Theresa Turchin

When I decided to start a blog my first question to myself was???

1. What do I have to offer?

Answer: fashion, beauty and life advice.

Ok, why am I qualified to give such advice?

Brief History:

I had a dream to leave my little town in Connecticut and see the world so at 17 years old

I took a day trip to NYC to find a modeling agency who would make my dreams come true.

Ha Ha little did I know at the time that dreams rarely come true like that so being turned down by several agencies, I got to thinking, learned about what these agencies were looking for ( at the time very young looking girls that basically looked like "school girls") so I washed my face clean of any traces of makeup, pulled my hair back with two drug store barrettes, put on a pleated middie skirt and button down shirt. To make a long story short, Elite models signed me in about 5 minutes, I learned early on that you make your own luck in life, all by yourself no matter what path you choose.

 

That was circa 1982, and I've come a long way, surpassed any dream I could have thought up at seventeen years old, I have traveled the world as a model no less, (I'm just under 5'8") met and mingled with rock stars, politicians, dukes and duchesses, famous athletes, actors, been a singer/ songwriter in a band, a realtor, a fashion designer, a jewelry designer, and a finally a mom at forty four.

So Welcome To My I'm Not 20 Anymore!! Tune in to hear and hopefully learn some Fashion, Beauty, and Life Advice. That's me now in the corner right.
