Mind the Gap



Gap Always Skinny 1969 denim courtesy of Lucky Magazine.

Forever 21 blouse. Target tank. Storets blue suede wedges.



What drew me instantly to this particular pair was the wash. I’m partial to light wash denim, especially in the summer. They remind me of clouds. The fit is slightly on the baggier side, which I love. I’m a fan of cuffing up the hems. They have a boyfriend fit that is appealing yet still feminine and flattering.



I chose to keep the other pieces neutral to compliment the denim. The shocking blue shoes seem to make these jeans stand out that much more. This pair is not only soft but lightweight in texture. I am sure to wear them time and time again.



Now I'm off to start packing for another special trip.. news soon...

the sandals are gorgeous. the colour is really beautiful

Fleur said...

Well, you're simply a fashion genius. I also want to have the rest of clothes jeans-neutral when I wear denim not to lose the impression and not to deny the importance of denim(I really can't say I like whole-denim outfits, they're quite meaningless to me - it's all the same...). This baggy style looks great on you!

over the shoulder shot is my fave with the smile plus those cool jeans do match the shoes!!!

Morgan-Ashley said...

This is a great outfit. I like the styling you chose with the neutral color palette. It works. Your jeans have a really nice fit, I'm also a fan of a slightly baggier denim like the boyfriend fit at the moment. The wash is perfect for summer, and sweet photos!

Becca said...

I've always been a strictly dark denim girl, but lately I'm coming around to lighter shades. I may have to try some on during my next shopping trip. I've been loving gap jeans lately - the 1969 overhaul really made me a convert!

Thanks!! :)

Roxanne Actually it's odd I either pop into the store randomly and find 20- things I like or nothing at all, but online I always find the best things. ;)

Anonymous 11:26 The shoes are sold out now :( but they may restock? My jeans are size 4 waist 27" (for the baggier fit) I'm normally a 2 waist "26"..
