One of my favorite combos, for the past several years, has been the D.O.D. trend: Denim on Denim. I think I rocked it way back in fourth grade, with a pair of jeans and denim jacket… but I’m liking the look a little  better this time around. I typically reserve the combo for my favorite pair of distressed jeans and softest chambray top, but for these summer months, I’m wanting to make it warm weather friendly. Enter this outfit. Denim shorts that don’t leave me pulling on them every time I take a step (yes, I own some of those, and yes I suffer when I wear them. Oh well), and this flutter sleeve chambray top. I’m pretty much planning on pairing it with everything this summer, but I particularly love it with denim shorts. Next to black and white, the denim on denim look is an equally perfect blank canvas for dressing. Pairing it with a fun tote bag and casual sandals makes it perfect for sipping a margarita (or two), munching on chips + guac, and taking in the warm summer sun.
