Polkadot Pastiche

Denim on Denim

February 28, 2012

Hi everyone!

This is an older outfit from January, which some of you may already have seen, but I wanted to post it here so I can put it on my new YLF blog! :)

I wore this outfit to a book signing when one of my favorite authors came to town recently (see photo #5). I was sooo nervous meeting her, but she was super sweet. It was a really fun evening.

Thank you! Of course, suggestions and comments are always appreciated.

Jacket: Sister Moon. Chambray Shirt: J. Crew. Pants: Gap. Handbag: Kate Spade (via TJ Maxx). Watch, Bracelet: Michael Kors, Isharya (via TJ Maxx).

    So cute! I loe the citron bag with the denim. It's so fresh.

  • Victoria replied 12 years ago

    I absolutely LOVE this look especially with this citron bag! It gives just the right pop of color

  • modgrl replied 12 years ago

    Fantastic!! Looks like your TJ Maxx has a pretty serious selection. Ours is really sad :(
    I love your outfit from head to toe but the bag makes it special.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 12 years ago

    I love this look on you Ana - it's casual yet chic. The denim on denim is such a huge trend right now and then you've got this lovely pop of colour with the bag. I also adore your bracelet.!

  • Amy replied 12 years ago

    Ana, you look amazing. I'm jealous that you were able to find such a spectacular bag at TJ Maxx. I've never found a bag that great there :)

  • Laura replied 12 years ago

    Wait! This post is full of news. First of all, you look amazing. Secondly, you have a YLF blog? That is too cool! I hadn't heard about YLF blogs 'til now, am I late to the party? And who is your favorite author?

  • Ana replied 12 years ago

    Thank you so much, ladies! I really appreciate all the comments. :D

    Laura, check out Greg's thread here to find out more about YLF blogs:

    That's Kresley Cole. She writes paranormal/urban fantasy romance, although I started reading her when she still wrote historical romance. Her books are a lot of fun and I like the "world" she's built in her series.

  • Polly (thunalata) replied 12 years ago

    Fabulous! Love this. Want to copy...

    Laura - exciting isn't it! I only found Greg's post about it a few hours ago.

  • anchie replied 12 years ago

    Can I first just say that I really like your haircut? And of course your outfit is great, and the bag is gorgeous.

  • Lisa replied 12 years ago

    Ack! Look at that fab handbag! What a fun color! And your denim on denim look is lovely too, nice job!

  • Jonesy replied 12 years ago

    You look amazing!! Love the denim with the burst of neon from that gorgeous bag! I am with Rita in being envious about your TJ Maxx!

  • Girl X replied 12 years ago

    Love the neon with denim!

  • LoP replied 12 years ago

    Lovely. You looks so fresh. I love that bag.

  • christieanne replied 12 years ago

    Wow! I love the yellow with the denim. And your bracelet amps it up as well. I only wish our TJMaxx got such great things.

  • MNsara replied 12 years ago

    What a fun outfit! The white bracelet and KS citron with the denims look so fresh and springy! And your fab haircut is adorable :-)

    Shoes? Where are the shoes? You always have fun shoes. . .

  • Debora replied 12 years ago

    LOVE! Your denim on denim outfit is wonderful, Ana, and your bag is fantastic! Who does your photography? Beautiful photos and beautiful you!

  • CocoLion replied 12 years ago

    Great outfit. I love the POC with neon yellow against the denim on denim. What a find from TJ Maxx! I have a pretty good one in my little town, but have never found anything quite so special.

  • replied 12 years ago

    Love! Congrats on your YLF blog! This is a great outfit and I must have missed it the first time so thanks for posting again. I love your haircut too and the Kate Spade bag that you found at TJMaxx!! SCORE! And that's where you go to find a cheapie "trial run" kind of bag. What a surprise THAT must have been! *incredulously looking at watch to see it there's time to make a TJM run* :)

  • catgirl replied 12 years ago

    I adore the way you've put this together, and you look like a MODEL! You are so stunning, seriously.

  • replied 12 years ago

    You look stunning with that pop of citron! Beautiful!

  • krishnidoux replied 12 years ago

    Love, love, love! Totally want that bracelet. And that haircut! You exude confidence and freedom in this.

  • taylor replied 12 years ago

    Pretty Ana...I saw this original post, very FAB!

  • Sarah A replied 12 years ago

    I love this look... Citron... Denim... Bracelet! Awesome!

  • Carole replied 12 years ago

    The citron bag makes perfect sense with the denim on denim, LOVE. You look fantastic- cool photos, too.

  • Jjsloane replied 12 years ago

    Great look and really great photos. I've seen KS bags at TJ Maxx, but they have not been that fab (usually a really small one for a lot of $$ still) Great score.

  • citygirldc replied 12 years ago

    I love your style and keep on posting those outfits so I can copy them. LOL!!

  • Jaime replied 12 years ago

    You look gorgeous. I am surprised to see how much the neon bag adds to this outfit. Great!

  • Kyle replied 12 years ago

    You are pretty and stylish. That is a killer combo, Ana. That bag send me over the edge!

  • Debbie replied 12 years ago

    You are stunning! If that bag disappears you know where it went.

  • Joy replied 12 years ago

    Love every detail of this outfit. You look radiant!

  • ManidipaM replied 12 years ago

    Denim in triplicate, with animal-print texture to boot! Brilliance! Ana, you look utterly gorgeous, and that bracelet and bag are master strokes with that outfit.

    (And yay, Kresley Cole! *high five, fellow fan!*)

  • Ana replied 12 years ago

    Oh my goodness! Thank you so much you guys! You all are so sweet (and you're making me blush). :D

    Sorry for the late response. I went to a friend's birthday dinner and I just got home.

    MNSara, thank you! I didn't get a good picture that included shoes, but I will next time.

    Debora, TX Sarah takes my pictures. We meet up whenever we can and I take some of her blog photos to give her husband a relief, and then she takes pictures of my outfits. That's kind of why I post them sporadically. She's got outfit picture-taking down. :)

    ManidipaM Hooray, Kresly Cole!! I loooove her. Are you reading the IAD series right now?

  • fashionista replied 12 years ago

    "No denim on denim" whoever made this fashion myth, just make way for Ana!!!!! She's changed this myth to denim on denim and more denim on denim....

Hi, I'm Ana! I'm a writer with a dressy aesthetic, but a casual lifestyle. Add in the sweltering humidity of Austin, Texas and well...let's just say I've got a bit of a fashion challenge on my hands. Stylewise, I'm always striving to hit that point where the three intersect.
