Dressing Up Denim

Contrary to the neon green nylon “swishy” pants phase I had growing up, you will now find me nine times out of ten in a pair of good denim when out and about. What I would call my daily uniform, jeans and a structured jacket or blazer is the perfect combination I throw on when I want to feel comfortable yet put together. However, on the days I feel like going the extra mile, there are some ways I elevate this classic look to give it some extra flair.

A Vintage Purse

Estate sales, thrift stores, Etsy or eBay, vintage purses are common to find and are the perfect element that adds a sophisticated detail to any outfit.

A Fun Heel

Adding heels to an outfit can elevate you (literally) and give a dressy element.

A High Neck

When it’s a turtleneck or blouse, adding an article of clothing with a high neck is an easy way to add more depth to an outfit.
