I'm double down with denim!!




Double denim, the "texas tuxedo". I gotta admit I've been committing this particular fashion faux pas for awhile now, blissfully unaware that it is in fact considered a "don't"! Not that doin' a "don't" has ever stopped me before! I wear a vast array of jean jackets constantly, and this 70s child's toughskins jacket has been in heavy rotation for years. I couldn't button it closed if my life depended on it but that's fine by me, better to show off my shirt and vintage pendant!! The jean skirt is built by Wendy for Wrangler, but I built this entire outfit for Wendy Brandes as she is currently rounding up images of double denim duds!
70s child's toughskins jacket , thrifted cheaply many years ago
Jean skirt, Built by Wendy for Wrangler, purchased half off at Crossroads TC $7.50 several years ago
Gray tights, hue $8 Macy's last year
Purple turtleneck top, Michael Stars, $4 thrifted last year
70s Snake print boots, $40 ebay several years ago
70s Sarah Coventry pendant, $15 ebay several years ago
70s sunglasses, thrifted long ago last seen here

    Oh it's not considered a don't anymore - at least not if you do it right! I love the term Texas tuxedo though, never heard that before. My current hometown gave birth to the phrase 'Croydon facelift' (a really tight high ponytail, usually teamed with jogging bottoms and big hoop earrings, sported by young mums)

    Sacramento!! Thanks for the love, and yes I think rules are made to be broken!! You have a wonderful Sunday too, you just made mine brighter!!

    Shybiker!!!Thanks for your praise and attention to detail! I truly consider an outfit an artistic composition, it matters as much what is added as what is left in the closet!!

    Lakota!! We LOVE Little Britian, would Vicky Pollard sport a Croydon facelift by chance? And you're right, doin a don't right makes it a do!! Thanks for your kind words, and I learned a new term!!
