I think we can officially declare that denim skirts are back, ladies! This was a hot topic of conversation among my friends recently - many of them still have their denim skirts from college and are pulling them out to wear again. Mine are long gone, so I've been on the hunt for something new to add to my closet. The patchwork trend speaks to me on so many levels, as does the idea of trying a type of denim I've never tried before. Inspired by the catalog photo, I went denim-on-denim by adding a chambray top, plus a splash of bright blue with the earrings. I would love more outfit ideas for this skirt though - how would you style it?
