Denim never goes out of style, but this year it's all about denim in unexpected places - everything from a denim purse to denim shoes.Today's inspiration is a little taste of that, by pairing a casual denim jacket with an otherwise polished outfit. I love the juxtaposition of denim with a black skirt and bow blouse in today's look. Is it an outfit idea you would try?
