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.

How to Dress Youthful....without looking like a teenager

Dressing youthful is an Art. You may laugh and think how hard can that be I just go to the junior department pick out some clothes and be done with it or worse borrow clothes from your teenage daughters closet. Please Don't I beg of you because you will look ridiculous!

Instead check out how these not 20 any more Celeb's do it, with ease, with an element of cool, to perfection.

Heidi Klum takes a distressed boyfriend style jean adds a pop of canary yellow, a cool rocker belt, aviators, a simple necklace, pretty hair, she looks casual, youthful, age appropriate, and sexy.

Jen Anniston another example in a more classic turn, a white t shirt always looks fun as long as its clean. Jen does denim perfect with a cute but not cutesy cuff, white classic walking sneakers ( not gym shoes!) and a crisp navy jacket, an easy combo to buy and keep forever. ( you could probably buy this entire look at Gap)

Kristen Davis looks casually hip in a black and white dress at an almost too long length but because it dips in the front this dress works for her, if it weren't for the dip it might look dowdy; always remember youthfulness is sexy but just a bit here or there NOT here and there and there and there.

 Julianne Moore my not be sexy in this outfit but she does look youthful and cool with her skinny camo jeans and school girl style over coat, aviators add a modern twist, I just love it!
