I don’t find myself in denim all that often, but when I do (like in this post from this past September) they are typically Madewell or Current Elliott!
Question: Where do you find inspiration and/or how do you go about putting together a look?
Answer: Admittedly, I can be a bit all over the place when it comes to putting together my looks. For me there is no ‘everyday formula’ per se, but for the most part I start with either a color I love or a statement piece that I am dying to wear. I am simply not the type of person who can hop out of bed and be ready within 15 minutes. When I am getting ready it is somewhat a trial and error period – meaning my bed usually ends up with about 15-20 items piled on it before I can make my final decision and get out the door! Oftentimes I will start out with one piece I love, but then after layering and mixing and matching, I don’t even end up wearing the piece I set out to include. I also cater my looks to a few variables. One, do I need to be comfortable (I am walking a lot or will I be wearing this from 7am until midnight)? And two, am I truly hoping to make a statement (aka be extra)! If I need to be comfortable, I typically start with shoes to make sure I have flats that go with whatever statement piece or color I am looking to wear. If I am looking to make a statement I typically go the ‘more is more’ route and add extra accessories or maybe even a second coat. 😉

Speaking of denim, Madewell just came out with these high rise drop hem jeans. Happy to report that they have already been ordered and are on their way to me!
