I love double denim.

I don't mean in a Britney and Justin sort of way, where it's iconic, but also tragic.  I mean in vintage 1940s/50s sort of way.  That was my accidental inspiration for this outfit.  I almost feel like I should be on the 'We Can Do It' poster.

As do most of my outfits, this has a nautical feel to it.  It seems, having a Grandpa who served in the Royal Navy, really does influence your style.  The red and white stripes and balloon sleeves, makes this one of my favourite tops.  I wear it far too often.  These jeans are a new addition, and I love the high waist.  I'm not a skinny jeans kind of girl, so I love finding alternatives.  The dark blue denim makes this so easy to style.  I chucked on my denim jacket as an accident, but I love the contrast between the light and the dark.  With the light wash and the pins I've collected, it almost doesn't look denim.  You could almost mistake it for a different material.  To keep with the vintage theme, I chucked on my loafers for a clunkier look.  I'm a flats girl at heart and these have not left my feet since I got them.  I added the scarf to my hair as my hair really needed washing.  I really like the pop of the blue and the gold, along with the red.  To top of this look, I just chucked on my gold coin necklace, to add to the nautical feel. 

 It's always fun to be able to play with your style and to change your look.  It proves you can create a vintage look with items from the high street.

In order to find out who we are, we sometimes have to look to the past - especially in style.
