WIW: triple denim, to shop for nude bags

I dared to wear triple denim today. I debated whether the outfit was one step too far, but liked the look and left the house in it.

This is the outfit I wore to shop for bags to go with my new nude pumps. This is my second wearing of the ankle strap pumps, and I'm finding them quite comfortable, for a heel. I am really enjoying the ladylike feel they give to an everyday outfit.

The outfit:
Cream skinny jeans (Mother, the Looker skinny, in Whipping the Cream); blue chambray pullover shirt (Side Stitch); sand denim jacket (French Dressing Jeans); ivory cutuout belt (Fossil); nude pumps with gold ankle strap (AGL, Claire); navy and tan satchel (Dooney & Bourke).
Photo 1 is the outfit as I wore it to shop.
Photos 2-4 show the new bags: Vegan nude tote (Joy Susan, Carly Reversible Tote, in Barely Pink/Smoke), and leather envelope clutch (JCrew, in pink sand).

Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts.

I love the tonal quality of this look, with the pinky-nude bags in particular.

This is gorgeous! I think the triple denim is fantastic.

I like this, You Rock to denim! And I like the shoes and bags paired with this outfit.

You like your shooting a fashion commercial. Love the mix of denim colors.

carter

Not at all too much! I love this.

Mirjana

I can only say FANTASTIC all,...... stay speechless how triple denim look on you, and new bags are great, want them.....

catgirl

This looks so fantastic on you, Sharan. And the bags!

The funny thing is, when I try to imagine it on myself, I just can't. The combination of a

1) button-down

2) denim shirt

3) tucked into skinnies with a

4) denim jacket layered on top in

5) light colors

would be an unmanageable struggle for me. That's where I think the skills of being naturally polished come in. You ROCK.

Triple denim! You are really going for it, lol!
But it looks great!
I like the shoes and belt to add a little subtle pattern.
I might've mentioned this before, but your jeans look so so good on you. The higher rise looks fab.

rabbit

Love the outfit - sleek, with the denim as a casual influence and the shoes as a lady-like touch. Your new blush bags look great with your skin tone, the white clothes, and your new shoes.

I have to say I don't own any premium denim (yet), but I just love the product names of your jeans, so appreciate you sharing them, so tasty!

krishnidoux

Wonderful! So inspiring! I love how it brings out your beautiful hair too in the most romantic way. I like it best with the nude handbag in pic 2.

You NAILED triple denim, Sharan. Love the pretty shoes with matching clutch.

Aida

Gorgeous! Love

Really nice with the pretty new pale bags, too. I totally want to wear the clutch version. Need a pink clutch, methinks!

Maneera

This is really awesome, Sharan. Wow! You look so polished and effortlessly chic. Those shoes & bag really elevate the look. And I can't help but notice that all your denim pieces are such a *perfect* fit. That, in my opinion, is the KEY to looking so cool in triple denim. You DO TOTALLY ROCK!

Sally

you look amazing. Those colours really suit you and combine so well together.

Debbie

I love this Sharan. You look absolutely stunning! I especially love how you cuffed the jeans! That tote looks like it will be very versatile.

JAileen

I really love this! I wonder if this is kind of the maximum number of denim pieces a person could wear?

Deborah

That is a beautiful tonal outfit and it is incredibly flattering on you. Glad those shoes are comfy because they look sensational on you And your new bags are stunning.

Brooklyn

Wow! You look fantastic. And you wear those lighter tones so well. Definitely not OTT.

Firecracker (Sharan)

Geez, thanks, everyone!
Ladonna--a fashion commercial, huh? You are so sweet. Got a little laugh out of that one, too.
Mirjana, I can see you wearing this outfit!
Una, I can see what you mean, especially when you list out the elements that aren't really your style. I wouldn't have thought of them, though. Usually I don't wear button-down shirts, myself. And lighter colors are something I turn to less frequently than my dark, moody colors.
Smittie, thank you! I'm enjoying higher-rise jeans these days. Still wear my lower ones, too, but with this brand I've found a higher rise that feels really good.
rabbit, I know--those color/wash names by Mother jeans are so fun, aren't they? Also, part of the reason I got the shoes is that they are such a nice nude shade for me. And then I had to have a bag (or two) to go with them, didn't I? I think I'm going to like this new neutral.
Krish, thank you! I had been wearing a lot of pewter to pick up my hair color; it's good to hear that nude works, too.
Thank you, Angie! I had a feeling you'd like the clutch. It's inspired by you, of course, and Aida, too.
Aida, you definitely need to try a triple denim outfit with ladylike shoes and clutch.
Maneera, thank you! I'm glad I refreshed my jeans capsule this season.
Debbie, thank you. When I saw the tote reverses to smoke, I thought I couldn't pass it up. It should be great for travel.

Oh, and JAileen, I think three denim pieces might be my maximum. I do have a pair of denim ballet flats, though. I feel like that might be just a step too far, but perhaps doable with this outfit.

Love this Sharan! You look great!

The new wardrobe pets are fab too

Humbled to have inspired the clutch with my little style sis, Aida.

Sal

Wow- you look terrific. The fit and colours are fantastic. Very elegant and flattering.

Mauvish

WOW!

everything works so well with each other.

Windchime

Fab outfit; you look amazing in those jeans! The shoes add just the right amount of dressy to the three denim pieces.

Jaime

You own it - I am impressed!

Gigi

This looks SO on trend and polished! This is one of my favorite outfits of yours.

Jenava

You look so great in those skinnies! Nailed it, as usual.

Chris987

Wow! Another vote here for "you look like you are shooting a fashion commercial". The fit, colors, everything is really gorgeous. Love the shoe/bag color and the way the denim shirt seems NOT like a typical denim shirt....

Elizabeth P

Oh, NICE! You do own it. Great bag choices, as well.
