On Being Fabulous: Summer Love ... Denim

By Shari Braendel

What woman doesn’t have a secret love affair with denim? Whether it’s your favorite pair of jeans paired with an unfussy blazer, a blue jean skirt worn with a classic blouse, an old denim jacket thrown on with a flirty floral dress or an overly washed pair of boyfriend jeans that take you to the local farmer’s market on a casual Saturday morning, denim is an all time beloved wardrobe staple taking up a lot of space in our closets.

Denim is on trend any season, and this summer is no exception. As a Mom, jeans are likely your preferred go-to wardrobe piece and since I consider myself your personal style expert, let me walk you through some of the ways you can wear denim this summer so you can look like a million-dollar mama!

 

Metallic shine: Edgy and forward thinking, will take you from day to night.

 

Antique floral: Wear soft, faded rose prints with vintage, lacy blouse.

 

Bohemian, tie-dye: Bring back the 60’s with splash.

 

 

Houndstooth: Wear this classic print  with a tailored blouse or basic tee.

 

 

Colored Denim: For your very laid-back pieces, like shorts and skinny jeans.

 

White or Tan: Fresh and sexy, always a winner.

 

As you prepare to shop for your summer lifestyle and pack for your weekend getaway or vacation this summer, allow denim to be your main, strategic wardrobe pieces and add basic tops to complete your look. Add colorful wedge sandals or metallic flats for comfortable walking and don’t forget a big, colorful statement bag to carry all your necessities.

Watch out world, here comes a hot mama!

What Are Your Colors?

  Color may be the most noticeable thing
  people remember. It can influence our mood
  as well as our perception of size and shape,
  even someone's age.

  Choosing and combining the right colors for
  your wardrobe, makeup, and hair is key for
  creating that 'head-to-toe' look.

  The right colors can make you look younger,
  slimmer and energetic. Colors that aren't in
  your palette ... well, they have the opposite
  look and we don't want anything to do with
  that!
