But the fabric is really easy to care for and feels lovely to wear, so I can see why it would be good for a retiree holiday ^^ I do wear very opaque black tights under these jeans in the winter; it's a fun stark contrast against the very faded blue.</p> <p><b>Denise</b>, well thank you very much!

Great proportions and the buttons on the back of the top give it something extra. I love how this outfit looks so casual/comfy, but still super put together and refined. One of my favs I've seen of you so far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577897 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 06:43:54 +0000 CocoLion 1577897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best denim on denim I've seen on YLF. &nbsp;Hope I didn't offend anyone with that one. &nbsp;The tonal aspect of this outfit works to keeps the vertical integrity going as well providing some harmony for all of the details.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577869 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 03:55:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1577869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, I confess that I have an association of Tencel being slightly "Retiree Holiday."&nbsp; You remind me here that the fabric, while fab for senior on a belated Grand Tour, can also be a great choice for everyone.&nbsp; </p> <p>Yes to the low contrast and the big cuff!&nbsp; Love the jewels, too!<br />Do you ever layer leggings/tights under the shredded pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577843 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 02:35:15 +0000 Anonymous 1577843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look polished even in shredded jeans. Great styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577749 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 22:02:38 +0000 Aida 1577749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Karie </b>and <b>Marley</b>!</p> <p><b>Marley</b>, thanks for coming back to comment about the shredded denim, you were one of the people I was thinking of. You do have a polished streak to your style in some aspects, so it makes sense that you wear them similarly to me (with a polished or classic support cast) and feel good. The hair is basically an 80s/70s shag hybrid -- 80s metal styled 70s soft </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577442 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 02:38:34 +0000 Marley 1577442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got finished reading everyone else's comments &nbsp;- and in response to those who said that because their style is RATE that they can't/don't wear distressed jeans - I'm not of that mind-set. &nbsp;My style is RATE - and I love wearing distressed jeans - but like Aida said that she does, I always try to pair them with something more polished/dressy/classic - and then it works for me. &nbsp;Probably my most comfortable type of outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577437 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 02:28:47 +0000 Marley 1577437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is so cool! &nbsp;I love that blouse - I'm going to have to check and see if the Loft still has it. &nbsp;Also, those distressed jeans are calling my name. &nbsp;I love the little detail of the&nbsp;<i>very, very</i> neat cuff! &nbsp;I would have gone with a "sloppy" kind of roll - but this is so much better! &nbsp;Also, love the dainty jewelry - I'm into dainty jewelry too - it feels so much more comfortable on me than the large, clunky stuff! &nbsp;And - your hair is gorgeous! &nbsp;What are you doing with it these days???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577420 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 01:39:41 +0000 Karie 1577420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is fantastic! I love the shredded jeans with the big roll to showcase the booties. The back view is super fab, too - you look great coming and going! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577386 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 00:06:22 +0000 Aida 1577386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Approprio</b>, <b>Kelly</b>, <b>Texstyle</b>, and <b>Bonnie</b>!</p> <p><b>Approprio</b>, I wonder if denim-on-denim isn't funky enough for you. Or maybe you need funkier denim pieces. I'd be curious if our other RATE forum members feel the same way as you and <b>Jaime</b> about the shredded jeans.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577384 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 00:04:01 +0000 Bonnie 1577384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I love that blue on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577381 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 23:59:25 +0000 texstyle 1577381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what Diane G. said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577359 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 23:00:19 +0000 kellygirl 1577359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the queen of polished casual, Aida. I LOVE this on you. Blue is one of your best colors!

I've not had much success with denim on denim, but you've done a good job here. Enough variety of texture to make the look work.&nbsp;Lovely jewellery too. </p> <p>That's a nicely distressed pair of jeans, intentional without trying too hard.&nbsp;I very much identify with Jaime's observation about the look not working well with a RATE style. Not something I can pull off at all. I even struggle with lighter washes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577297 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:09:30 +0000 Aida 1577297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments ladies! ^^</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, yes ma'am! I am still on the hunt for a short peacoat. Preferably in that JCrew fiery orange-red color (I think it was "vibrant flame"), though I am considering getting the cobalt Majesty coat they're offering this season as well. Not sure I want a solid color though. I think I need a pattern.</p> <p><b>Nebraskim</b>, I quite like the muted yet saturated tone of this polish. Sage is an excellent descriptor for it, probably more accurate than olive. Happy to help :)</p> <p><b>Ginger</b>, hey nice pickup on the distressing fibers and gray booties, I hadn't really considered that. The earrings are a little different than the usual for this style; the dangling piece is actually separate from the earring back, so you could A) wear the stud on its own, and B) use the arrow on any other post earring. Really fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577249 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:10:29 +0000 Ginger 1577249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in blue, lady! And I love this take on a monochromatic effect. Fun how the distressed light fibers on the jeans are picked up by the booties. And I really love those earrings... I might need to copycat here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577231 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 19:30:33 +0000 Nebraskim 1577231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving that nail color. Thanks for the ID. I've been wearing a sage gel and wanting to go back to regular polish and this is the perfect fall hue. I love how you have worked all those colors together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577169 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 1577169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lovely low contrast blues look gorgeous! I'm another big fan of your attention to detail too. The jewellery, bag, boots and lipstick all compliment the look beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577104 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:18:11 +0000 Angie 1577104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear those coats, sister!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1577000 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 07:51:44 +0000 Karin L H 1577000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Love the shades of blue/denim, especially with your dark hair!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576993 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:30:29 +0000 Aida 1576993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I know it's not everyone's cuppatea, so it's fun to hear some love for denim-on-denim. The denim blouse is certainly a little less conventional that a typical denim shirt ^^</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, I'm loving tencel <i>everything </i>-- warm when it's cold, cool when it's warm, drapes like a dream -- -- I think it's my favorite fabric.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, yes I was cold I keep forgetting the air is <i>chilly</i> now, so 60F is not at all like it is in summer. Time to pull out my coats, I guess!</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, ooh interesting insight. I definitely skew towards polished, and yes I think I do always wear my shredded denim with a polished support cast.</p> <p><b>Una</b>, almost there with the hair. I finally found a stylist I like after losing the gal I'd been seeing the past four years (as you know), and he seems to get what I'm going for. It's basically this, just needs a little tweaking while he figures out the way I like my volume and layers. I am also changing the way I'm styling it now that it's much longer, which I'm still experimenting with getting right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576961 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 04:34:42 +0000 catgirl 1576961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. You look cute and a little tough but still adorable. I love your hair too - is it getting to where you want it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576919 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 03:00:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1576919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. I like this denim on denim look, especially because of the simple top--the plain front/button back style paired with the distressed denim does look very fresh. The light booties and sparkly jewelry &amp; bag are a fun juxtaposition, too. Gotta say I love that nail color; it is one that I would happily wear myself, and now that I see the name, it's even more appealing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576918 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 02:58:27 +0000 Maneera 1576918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh....I love this one! The denim blouse is just perfect...love the cut, the back buttons and the fluid. Quite unexpectedly stunning on distressed jeans! </p> <p>You truly have a great eye for the finer details, Aida....its this attention to details that makes your outfits so pretty and cohesive and always 'just perfect'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576913 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 02:52:15 +0000 Jaime 1576913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had an insight. I have never been drawn to shredded jeans for myself and seeing how well you wear them I realize it is because I am too RATE. It is exactly your attention to detail, the beautifully groomed nails and carefully chosen accents that make them seem intentional and fashionable and not like you tripped down the stairs (projection of course). Love the back seam echo you mention and the soft colors and delicate jewelry with the shreds. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576911 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 02:46:49 +0000 Sara L. 1576911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I really like the shape of that blouse. It's slightly untraditional in denim. I also love your silver earrings. I've been wearing more earrings lately and like the ear jackets that have been showing up in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576890 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 02:13:34 +0000 celia 1576890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the soft look of the denim and the light boots. Very pretty way to do denim on denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576886 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:59:15 +0000 JAileen 1576886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the monochromatic look too. I really like your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1026-pretty-denim-on-shredded-denim#post-1576885 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 01:51:28 +0000 Dee 1576885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the subtle tonal variation here. And the back details on the shirt provide a nice level of interest/contrast against the ripped jeans. I could see you throwing a moto jacket over this for cooler weather too. </p>
