Denim + Diamonds

by Karen Blanchard
4 March 2012
White shirt: Zara.  Leather vest: H&M. Dungarees: H&M (on clearance).  Wedges: River Island (thx Paula!). Shades: Ray Ban.  Lipstick: Nars ‘Schiap’ Bracelet: Intermix.
Some pics taken on Saturday. Yes.  It was that mild in the afternoon.




 

 
The dungarees were one of the things I found yesterday while starting another clothes sort out.  I LOVE dungarees.  Found a dress form (thx twitter followers) and have started taking pictures for the blog shop.  New stuff is up on the site right now!!! 

I wore the dungys as oversized jeans with a loose shirt and white leather vest on top.  The rhinestone bracelet was a lucky clearance find over a year ago.  I wear it casually with old shirts/Tees and denim.

ps. The white vest has fueled my interest in white leathers. Now I’m on the hunt for a white leather motor jacket!! Any good recs let me know please!?

pps. Want to find short dungys like this one day too.

GET THIS LOOK: 
Boyfriend jeans: Madewell. 
White vest: Topshop or this one.
Braclets: here, here & here.  
Shades: Ray Ban (same as mine).

      They aren’t around that often but do check H&M sometimes and places like that. Also I see loads in thrift/Salvation Army type places if you don’t mind worn.

    did you do something new with your hair? I don’t know… they look different

    • Karen says:

      They? lol…. I didn’t straighten it like I usually do. This time I just let it air dry with a little conditioner in it.

    Love the use of volume in your ensemble pairing the oversized vest with the boyfriend jeans – makes for quite the interesting look.

    Hi Karen,
    any word on when that white leather vest will be in shop at H&M? i know they are gearing up for the Marni x H&M launch, but I wanted to know if it would be in at the same time or after that. I live in LA and checked this past Sunday and it wasn’t in store yet. Just asking in case they give you that kind of info.
    Thanks!

    • Karen says:

      Not sure but I think its right now!! Do start checking. I have a feeling its either now or about to come out.

    • Karen says:
