THE DENIM SUIT IS ONE FALL TREND WE ARE CRUSHING ON
THE DENIM SUIT IS ONE FALL TREND WE ARE CRUSHING ON
Happy Tuesday! I (sort of) fibbed last week about sharing another one of my favorite trends for Fall on Friday. I didn’t post at all, but I have a good reason! Thursday morning started a sixty-hour stomach virus for me! I was so sick and won’t get into the gory details, but it was nasty, and I don’t recommend it! I don’t think I’ve ever had a worse stomach bug! I am so grateful that I turned the corner on Sunday!
I want to give my heartfelt condolences to the people in Hawaii who are going through this tragedy. I have been reading and watching people’s stories, and what a horrible and weird thing that blew through (and burned up) there. I don’t understand how cars can be totally destroyed (and almost melted-looking), and trees are still standing. Doesn’t wood burn? I don’t know, but it sure seems strange to me. Anyway, I am so sad for the people and animals who live there and have had their world turned upside down! I’m saying my prayers!
THE TREND WE LOVE
Back to the trend I would mention as one of my favorites for Fall. It is the denim suit or denim blazer on denim. My “work-wife” and bestie, Heather, and I decided that denim on denim is one of our favorite trends. We both love blazers and denim; when we go shopping together, it’s usually for blazers and denim! You can understand why we love this trend so much. These days, denim can be worn in most places, and I think a denim suit looks exceptionally chic!
Heather chose to wear a cropped denim blazer with a pair of wide-legged denim. The blues are slightly different in wash, but it doesn’t matter. Mix and match your denim washes. I am wearing a matchy-matchy denim suit from Alice and Olivia. I saw this a couple of weeks ago and had to have it. I love the darker denim for Fall. I wore a stretch sculpting tank that I already had under the suit. I elevated the whole look with a pair of leopard heels. Leopard is back for Fall and is this girl’s favorite color!
This is one busy week for me! I’m shooting today. I have a bone density test tomorrow, lunch with out-of-towners (in for a wedding), an event from 4-6 at Alice & Olivia (Highland Park Village) for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (PLEASE COME!), and sixteen people for dinner to celebrate my birthday! Friday night starts festivities for an all-weekend wedding for a friend’s son’s wedding! Whew! I will check back in on Friday and let you know how it’s going!
Have a great day! Stay well and Be safe! xx

That look is referred to as The Canadian Tuxedo!
From Bustle.com: Legend has it that back in 1951, singer Bing Crosby wasn’t permitted to check into a high-end hotel in Vancouver because he was wearing — you guessed it — a denim-on-denim outfit. Word traveled fast, and in no time at all, denim giant Levi’s designed him a custom tuxedo that was made entirely out of denim. Just like that, a cultural icon was born!

So sorry to hear you were so sick. Stomach viruses are the worst.

Linda, thank you! It was the worst one I’ve ever had! I’m so grateful to be among the living again! xx

Hey Cathy, Glad to hear you are on the mend. You are the third person I’ve heard about THIS WEEK to come down with a hideous stomach/gastro bug, and they also said it’s the worst they’ve ever had–both had to be hospitalized (!). Did you happen to get tested for Covid? One of the ones hospitalized turned out to have Covid, and the stomach bug-like symptoms were what she got first, not the classic sore throat, cough and fever. We’ve all had to learn to live with and manage around Covid so not much to do about it, but forewarned (about different symptoms of a next potential mutation) is forearmed I think!

Hi Cathy, sorry to hear you were so sick and are feeling better. Very nasty! I really love the denim suit look. You both look amazing. I particularly love the black denim blazer and am hoping that they make it down here in NZ soon. Best wishes, Jayne
