Printed Denim & Chambray - YouLookFab Forum

Yesterday's GYPO Spring Style Challenge suggestion was Denim with Denim trend... Challengers had the hardest time with this one... I think the problems were the contrast needed in a dark wash jean, the fit of their chambray top and the idea of tucking and adding a belt...

Alas my dark wash jeans are currently awaiting my weight loss... so Diane Gilman printed jeans to the rescue! I added a bright jacket for my walk to the grocery store in pic3.

One of the very few things I bought for the challenge was bright flats, so these are from Amazon. DH liked the pointed toe... if you remember he tasked me with updating my colored classic ballet flats with pointed or almond toe versions.

Can't contain my excitement! Today the birthday surprises begin for my youngest who turns 15 on Sunday.. His brother is coming home from VCU for the weekend and he has no idea! He thinks we weren't seeig him until May 2nd when we go to Richmond for his second bowling competition.

Such happy looks! You've inspired me to try denim+denim today. Love the pop of your shoe!

Fantastic! Love your denim on denim version! The pointy top flats with the pop of colour are just perfect.

So cute! And those shoes are the perfect flats.

This works really well Tracey - I really like the ankle strap flats paired with the rolled printed denim.

And what a lovely birthday surprise for your son - have a wonderful time

The shoes really make this outfit! I love the rolled pants with them. Great spring look, Tracy! You look terrific.

Wow - I have to admit, I was skeptical as soon as you said denim on denim (not my style) - but you did this PERFECTLY! The print, as well as the different blues, make this work like a charm. Well done!

Great execution here of plays from the design playbook. Fabric weights, using solids with patterns, accent colour, etc.

Hope your son has a wonderful birthday

Love denim on denim, and have never done printed denim pants. I like the change up!
I know I rattled on about them, but the shrink to fit Levi line jeans in a very dark color have been workhorses. They are under 50 dollars US right now., if you are looking for an interim pair. Loose fit, which to me says comfy, but i am older.
With your bright girly touches they would look wonderful, I would like to see how you style them.
And, er, what is GYPO?

Ahh this is a lovely outfit! Great job! :] I think the colorful necklace and the red shoes really helped add some punch into this look and make it youthful.

I love the way you have added colour to the denim. I am a huge denim fan and yet I never do denim with denim. You have inspired me to reconsider this. Great look.
