Even though the "Canadian Tuxedo" is totally acceptable in the fashion world these days, some people still think it's tacky to pair similar shades of denim together. But I say "to hell with that" and I'll do as I please.

I paired a raw edged chambray crop top with some distressed jean bottoms and topped off the outfit with a super soft & comfy knitted sweater for a cold early morning breakfast date. Then I accessorized with a statement necklace, a small leather crossbody bag, and some fun metallic blue booties.

There are so many fun ways to experiment with the double denim trend. Below are some helpful tips to try out this spring!

• The easiest way to style denim on denim is choosing different shades of denim like a light washed chambray top with a dark washed pair of bottoms. 
• Fit is also extremely important. I typically stray away from boyfriend jeans when styling denim on denim. I find that skinny jeans pair best with chambray tops. 
• Don't limit yourself to denim pants and a chambray top. Get creative with denim dresses and a chambray shirt (in a different wash) tied around your waist, chambray tops tucked into a denim pencil skirt, or try pairing a denim vest with some denim cutoff shorts. The possibilities are endless! 
• If you're going for the matchy match look like me, keep things interesting by pairing pieces with different textures and accessorize strategically. 

Winter Blues

I've never really been into the Canadian tuxedo thing but then I put together this look and I kinda like the denim on denim overload. I kept my outfit simple by pairing a lighter blue chambray top with some skinny blue jeans and layered a white & blue knitted sweater over to pull the whole look together. I accessorized with a simple Vanessa Mooney silver necklace tucked underneath my collar to add a little pop of shine. 

I wore this outfit to the grand opening of Healthy Spot in Costa Mesa! My family friend and his business partner had just opened up their 4th location of Healthy Spot! If you've never heard of it, it's pretty much a dog's happy place. In short, it has everything for your dog including: healthy organic food & treats, award winning grooming, doggie daycare, pet supplies, chew toys, and so much more! You should definitely check out one of their four locations if you haven't already. They're other locations include Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Marina del Rey.  

I attended the fun filled event with my family and Mr. Milo (he got a fancy new haircut, massage, pedicure, etc at their grooming center and loved it there). Hundreds of people also brought their pups to the event to sample the healthy organic dog treats, to take pictures with their puppy in the photo booth, and to obviously check out the beautiful new store. Some people even adopted the adorable pups that the I.C.A.R.E. foundation brought to the opening. All in all it was a great and exciting day and my pups can't wait to taste all the new goodies I got them! Check out some of the pictures that I snapped of the event at the bottom of the post!
