3 Types of Spring Denim Jackets

3 Types of Spring Denim Jackets

After a very turbulent winter that extended way into Spring, the temperatures are slowly raising and people are losing the layers. One of the go-to jackets people like to pull out their closet is a denim jacket. Denim jackets are lightweight and come in different washes. Many people buy different shades of denim to coordinate with their outfit, while some people stick to just one and wear it with everything. I love a medium wash denim jacket, it's not too dark and not to light, the wash fits just right for me. So the question remains... 

What's your favorite type of denim jacket for Spring?

Light Wash| TOPSHOP MOTO Fitted Denim Jacket //  Medium Wash| Target Merona Women's Denim Jacket // Dark Wash| Armani Jeans Lace Trim Denim Jacket

Get The Look: Stripes + Dots

Get The Look: Stripes + Dots 

Mixing outlandish prints can be intimidating, but looking at the Burberry Spring '14 styled looks got me thinking about mixing just the basic prints. The basics prints are stripes and polka dots, you really can't go wrong by wearing either of them. However based on the Burberry collection, mixing is a fresh way of wearing your basic prints and eating wearing it two. Tip: The scale of each print have to be moderate of each other, so if you're wearing a wider stripes and pair it with slightly larger polka dots, visually you want the combination to be balanced.

Stripes or Polka Dots, which is your favorite print?
