Denim Jacket

I never thought I’d ever wear a denim jacket. I was never really a huge fan of jeans. There was a solid three year period in college when I never wore jeans, except one night a year during sorority recruitment when the coordinated outfits called for them. Until recently, I only owned one pair of jeans that lived in the back of my bottom dresser drawer for ages.

Nevertheless, I’ve really been growing fond of the way that a denim jacket can totally dress down a look that otherwise might be too formal. My mother always taught me that it is better to be overdressed than to be underdressed; however, a feminine dress with flats and a cardigan, which is what I tend to wear all too often, just gives off too dressy of a vibe on the weekend. This Saturday, I threw on a denim jacket over my dress, and it proved to be the perfect casual weekend wear.

This jacket from H&M is super soft and reasonably priced. I wasn’t quite ready to commit to a higher end version, since I was a bit apprehensive about denim in the first place. Needless to say, I m now a fan.
