DENIM THAT’S DIFFERENT

My Style, Shopping / July 6, 2020

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity — all I hope for in my clothes." 
-Yves Saint-Laurent

I joined Rent the Runway a few months ago, and it's been ideal for moi, and my trend-trying habits. So often I would spend way too much money on an of-the-moment outfit, only to have it perish in my closet from neglect. I tend to go back to basics that I feel comfortable in, and dressing outside of my comfort zone has a huge history of disaster.

With my RTR membership, I get to try 4 items at a time, send back whatever I'm not wearing, and switch it up as often as I'd like. This Ulla denim dress is a great example of why this works for me - it's a style I'll wear 2 maybe 3 times before I'm totally tired of it - and instead of dropping $475 on what's not going to be a classic for me, I get to wear it once, scratch the itch, and UPS it right back without a bit of buyer's remorse.

I did enjoy this flouncy flock though - the acid wash is a bold move, and the denim is just a bit thick for a southern summer, but the cut is fun and I could wear it for a meeting with boots or a dog walk with slip on vans and feel just fine. With RTR, you have the option of keeping your garments, at a way-discounted-down price, and while I was tempted on this one, I let it back out in the world so someone else could give a flock.

Here's a round-up of a few statement denim pieces that are more exciting than your average jeans. Jumpsuits, dresses and skirts make are more jaunty than a jean, and can keep it classically cool with a little bit of edge. My fave - that Veronica Beard dress. I scored it on major sale this week, and I love that you can wear it year round.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCoolOn East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Design
ter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
