Hello everyone, this week was very short for me (two days). So I decided to go with a very simply theme: denim. I’m not doing denim-on-denim for the outfits, but I did want to focus each day on a denim piece. It was easy and fun, which is good since I’ve been busy planning my trip to Boston/Cape Cod with friends.

It’s really nice that I can get away with the casualness that is denim at work. I’m finally starting to get comfortable in balancing myself and the traditional culture of SunTrust. Hope you like it!

 

Monday

I wear this dress a lot. If you’ve seen my past posts, you have probably seen this dress. But that’s because it’s very me while still also being a work-appropriate dress. I love the raw edges of this denim dress, the sheath shape, and the large square front pockets. This week I paired it with warm accents. Burgundy shoes, brown belt and cardigan. I think the dress actually looks great with those pieces, and it’s one of my favorite looks I’ve done with this dress in a while.

Chambraaaaay. Love it. Everyone should own something chambray. Now I know what you’re thinking. ‘Grace, chambray isn’t technically denim’ and to that I say “plbbbbbhhhhbhh”.

Chambray is similar to denim. They’re both made by weaving cotton fabric together (along with a ton of other textiles). But where they differ is the type of weave. Chambray uses a “plain weave” as opposed to denim’s “twill weave”. Plain weave is what allows chambray to feel soft and lightweight. I won’t get too into the detail of these types of weaves, but simply enough, a plain weave uses a right angle weave pattern, whereas twill uses a diagonal pattern creating a more robust texture. So yes, little bit of education for us all there.

Anyways, This outfit was so easy and comfortable. Love the blue and bright cool-orange contrast. Always a good combo.
