The Denim Tee

Denim has invaded all of our closets and gone way beyond just jeans with dresses, jackets, skirts and jumpers getting all up in the mix. But if you thought denim had done it all, think again, there's more. I've been noticing a little trend a brewing: the denim shirt. And I am not talking about the button-up that we have all been wearing for a few seasons now, but an actual denim t-shirt. I first saw Joanna Hillman wearing one (hers is Stella McCartney and I am thinking the others are as well) at this show during New York Fashion Week and have noticed them popping up on the street style blogs since. 

Part of me loves it and part of me thinks it looks like something an early 90s housewife would wear paired with khakis to pick up the kids from school in her minivan. Hmmm, maybe I am into that look. I personally like the way Joanna wore it the best, even though it was styled with denim pants (or are those shorts?) at the actual Stella show. I like the contrast of the feminine cream pleated skirt against the more masculine almost square top. I think the girl with the camera is adorable too, but I am not sure if I could pull that off quite so easily. So, what do you think of the denim tee?

30 Days of Joanna Hillman

You may already know this but Joanna Hillman, the fashion editor extrodinaire who emerged last season as a street style favorite and the owner of my dream shoes, just finished up 30 days of daily outfit posts over at HarpersBazaar.com. The mag jumped on the outfit shot bandwagon with their senior fashion market editor's wardrobe diaries and I am sure their numbers have reaped the benefits. Joanna does not fail to give us a serious glimpse into her drool-worthy closet, a sense of her amazing style, as well as plenty of inspiration for our own outfits. She is no doubt a fashion icon in the making.

I have been a fan of Joanna for awhile now (I mean she does have my shoes) but I will have to say I am a bit disappointed that she never mixed in any vintage pieces with all her designer duds. There were a few high street items, but mostly everything seemed straight off the runway, with not a thing from another era. But I still love her awe-worthy style and the fact that she never leaves the house without her red/orange lipstick (she's got my MAC Lady Danger lipstick too!)and is all about the side braid and her prescription Ray Bans. She has three signature things for every day, yet still never wore the same thing twice. Pretty amazing. Here are a few of my favorite looks:
