I wore double denim yesterday … but no blue jeans were involved.
Coat: Vintage denim “dice” coat by Patrick Kelly (purchased 2008)
T-shirt: American Apparel
Jeans: Acne (2007)
Shoes: Prada (pre-2004)
Lip color: Lasting Lust by MAC
Necklace: Mud Flap Jill
It still counts, bitches! Denim on top, denim on bottom. Don’t fight it.
Meanwhile, since my last double-denim post, lots of gorgeous bloggers have been getting in on the double-denim trend.
Fashion Clocked is sly — she’s wearing denim sunglasses with that shirt.
That’s Not My Age did triple denim!
And thanks to Stacy of taffetadarlings for finding a vintage picture of Debbie Harry in double denim!
Like I said, “Never is the next new thingâ„¢!
stacy says
Everyone looks fantastic! But, I really like how you brought some WHITE to the mix WendyB!!
WendyB says
Your idea!
Vegetable Assassin says
And despite my reservations, all of those ladies pull it off admirably. I loved them all! I’m being converted. I just bought a denim pencil skirt so I might try the old double denim thing out myself.
You know, I never consider white jeans “denim”. They’re more “canvas”. 🙂 But I’ll let you off miss B.
Joy D. says
Great denim work.
jennine says
I would have totally missed your double denim! I also like the sly denim glasses. Sweet.
So my dear, have you shown the jumpsuit yet? I’m dying!
WendyB says
Oh noes…am I senile? Which jumpsuit?
fashion butter says
“it still counts bitches” – this made me laugh. HARD.
pretty face says
OMG WENDY this is so weird! I never wear double denim… but I did yesterday/today for the first time (same outfit all of yesterday and then this morning too… a bit skanky I know but I didn’t know I wasn’t going home). I wore skinny black denim jeans and a light blue denim waistcoat then later a light denim jacket. xxx
WendyB says
Picture??
pretty face says
I actually did take one. I’ll email it to you
marian says

Trying to get through the texas tuxedo loophole with colored denim, I see. I’m onto you Wendy B. : )
hiyaluv says
rock on! i am always the one who finally buckles at the last minute and goes out to buy “said” hot item (such as denim) and then it is no longer cool. SO 3 years from now I will be sporting double denim when nobody else is…haha.
I am a tad too late with everything. oh well. 🙂
smiles,
gina
WendyB says
Nah, you’re just really ahead of the next time it comes around!
lauren @ lapetitefashionista says
Aw Wendy what a nice surprise for my Thursday morning! Thank you for the awesome shoutout! I’m pretty sure that fashion bloggers have proved over the last couple of months that “double denim” is very do-able! 🙂
Maddy says
Love your trench!! Isn’t it crazy that it was hot as hell the other day, and now we have to dust off the jackets and sweaters! Unbelievable! Glad double denim is still alive and kicking!
fashion herald says
Man, you pulled out the Debbie Harry double-denim! That’s it, I’m going to go double up.
Miss Peelpants says
Ok. I concede that other people look great doing it (especially you, Wendy, due to the lack of blue denim-ness) but I still cannot bring myself to do it.
😉
fashion herald says
And I meant to say, after all those gorgeous bloggers in double denim, you then pulled out the Debbie Harry, which was just icing on the cake 🙂
Nickie Frye says
I love double denim! That pic of Debbie Harry is awesome. She’s so hot.
Sally says
I’m floored by all of those stylish double denim looks!
K-Line says
I LOVE this post. Y’all look fantastic. I particularly love white jeans. Very Liz Hurley.
Miss Janey says
WendyB… double denim… you’re doin’ it right!
deja pseu says
Now that I know white denim counts, I’ve got a double denim mix in mind…look for something this weekend.
Tina says
Is that the Debbie Harry look I should be channeling for Halloween?
KD says
You look awesome! I want white jeans.
Kamicha says
Thanks for introducing!
BTW – have you any plans of making the Cleopatra necklace in silver?
lisa says
I love your pinstriped denim coat, Wendy! These double denim posts are always so interesting because every blogger puts their own spin on the look and pulls it off so stylishly.
Susan says
I love your jeans, fabulous!
xoxo
Lexie says
i totes need to submit my denim on denim look!
Lynette says
While I believe everyone looks very cool, don’t y’all find denim to be too warm? I do myself–I don’t own any denim because I’m uncomfortable in it.
Thanks, WendyB, for your comment about our darlin’ little Duncan. Mama and I appreciate it.
Tracie says
I love the look but have to admit never have I done the look. Maybe that is new on my list.
Emily and Abigail says
lusting the photo of debbie harry!!

STILL no double denim for me. But everyone else does it very, very well!
Winnie says
Oh yes, loving it! I haven’t done double denim in a long time but I should try it and will let you know lady!
Obsesiones De Una Niña says
Fab pics! Denim is so effortlessly cool 😉
Make Do Style says
At last after days of travel and no internet access I get to see this wonderful post. Ha! It is brilliant – what a great collection xx

Rosie says
I’ve been mulling over double denim for a while now, and you have me convinced 😀 I love love love your coat!
rollergirl says
Calivintage and Debbie Harry: Ooh yeah!
Kristin says
White skinnies ARE denim. Don’t know why that’s never occurred to me. I’m totally going to work mine with a ruffled chambray top I’ve been lusting after!
Bella Q says
that coat of yours…and I are destined to be friends.
