The Trend that Never Leaves

Denim is seasonless. And that's especially true in Chicago, where the typical girl is always on the go and the weather is ever-changing.

A denim shirt is essential all year round, and is definitely an investment piece. It is common for a girl to have a denim shirt in multiple washes: dark, medium, and light.

Once you have 1 (or 3) denim top, you WILL grab for it on a weekly basis and you WILL wear it all year long.

The denim-on-denim trend is extremely popular among style bloggers and Instagram users alike. It's actually fairly easy to do as long as you follow the general rule:

Make sure your denim colors are

obviously different shades of blue.

Of course, this is a general rule. But if you're unsure this double-denim trend in fear of 

the Jay Leno Canadian Tuxedo resemblance, then it's a good rule to have.

Envy girl Kristi grew up in the 90's so has had a denim shirt tied around her waist all summer long.

Follow Kristi's advice for an easy transition into fall:

"I use my denim shirt almost similar to a lightweight denim jacket. I love having it at the train station in the morning and going home after work. But throughout the day when it's too hot for long sleeves, I keep it around my waist."

And lastly, this blog post wouldn't be complete without paying homage to Queen Britney

and this Dynamic Denim Duo.
