I just adore the idea of pairing a lighter denim with a darker one. 

I am not a fan of the same-color-suited-denim look at all.  Reminds me of "jean sets" from the 90's.  I clearly remember wearing an entire denim outfit, stonewashed denim to be exact - when I was about 10 and my older sister Tifini, was 12.  We had matching sets and even had the hats to match.  I was so excited and couldn't wait to wear it to school. LOL!

From that point on, and into my teens, I always thought denim shades worn together had to match EXACTLY.

Well needless to say, I grew out of that!

I keep forgetting about this little denim jacket, and how it goes with just about anything! It's a great shade of blue and adds a touch of "fun" to otherwise basic outfits.

And I have to say, I'm kinda excited to have rediscovered this HUGE handbag!  I vowed (aloud to hubby, to have a witness, lol) that since I keep every single thing and am somewhat of a hoarder when it comes clothes/shoes/handbags, etc., I will make an effort to wear the things that I NEVER reach for, more often.  That also apply to the things that I may be saving for "the right occasion". Nope, the right occasion is NOW. :)

Gearing up for another mini-series starting this Sunday. This time it's all about belts - stay tuned! :)

xoxoxo, thanks for reading!
