Trying to do at least one challenge a week, specifically, using something old. Today combined with double denim.
"Old" is BR denim jacket, 2017, with a peplum back (not shown in my photo.) Also kind of old is a pair of Paige Manhattan jeans, not worn much for a couple of years. Angie has this same jacket!
For years I followed the advice to avoid double denim. I've probably been doing it anyway at home. In mid-'70s Mr. M bought me a light denim suit, matching light denim jeans and matching jacket with lots of studs. I don't think I have a photo and I mostly just wore the jacket.
#1 here's how I started. N+Z top, Paige jeans that kept catching on my Ecco shoes to disrupt the hem.
## 2-3 With Liverpool jacket, 2 years old. This seems matronly to me. In #3 you can see my new haircut from the side.
##4-5 BR jacket closed and open with my preferred Joe's jeans. These are the lightest blue denim jeans I have, but you Can't see much contrast. The jacket is a bit tight buttoned, (still post holidays) and open. Bracelet length sleeves.
Is it ok that the top is longer than the jacket? See earlier version below, #7.
#6 At least I tried and learned a few things for another day. What I ended up wearing to go outdoors. Temp in 60's, sunny, and I'm going to go do some pruning and fertilizing. LL Bean quilted sweatshirt--I now have 4 of these in 4 different colors. Perfect for days like today. Oh, had to change to my outdoor Orthofeet sneakers. These are several years old, so demoted for tromping, er, tiptoeing through the tulips.
Nobody's going to see me except you and the neighbors walking their dogs over to the park.
2 colors of jackets, also have dark green and ivory. I don't have finds of other items, sorry.
#7 Wait! found this photo of the jacket in 2018. I'd rather wear it this way.
