Dare to Double Denim

On Saturday,  my diary was blissfully vacant so I indulged in a morning of sunbathing and pampering after an earlier morning jog around my village.
In the afternoon I decided to put this little double denim ensemble together and go out with the boy to frolic in the sunshine and enjoy a summertime tipple!


♥ Pink denim jacket - Topshop (they also have it in baby blue and plain denim)
♥ White vest - H&M
♥ Denim shorts - H&M
♥ Plimsols - H&M (as seen in my previous post)


I added the little yellow corsage of my denim jacket.
I think this outfit demonstrates that anyone can embrace double denim, and it is too scary really, if you team it with the right pieces!

So the hour struck Pimm's o'clock, so the boy and I headed pub-wards for a perfectly splendid afternoon of banter and beverages in a sunny pub garden.  



And half an hour later...



So my lovelies, what are your thoughts and feelings on double denim? 
Have any of you been embracing it recently?

I'm generally not a fan of double denim, but these two colours of denim are lovely together :)

Such a lovely simple summery outfit, with the white vest to break it up - yum!

I had my first Pimms of the year this weekend - it was gorgeous..

I love the outfit but I think to me, double denium is multiple pieces of blue/original denium. Glad you had a nice day, wish I liked pimms...
