Here’s the thing.  I bought this Levi’s x Stranger Things jacket and t-shirt months ago.  I’ve been wearing them for months.  They’ve been getting compliments for months (who doesn’t love this show?).  But for whatever reason, they aren’t appearing on the blog until now.

Blame fashion week, blame motherhood.  Whatever the reason, this is a look I wear often, and I’m sorry it took me so long to share it with you.

Here’s the thing about Stranger Things.  If you don’t watch the show, I’m flabbergasted.  You need to watch immediately.  Seriously, stop reading.  Get on Netflix NOW.

It’s a show that taps into the deep, nostalgic heart of the greatest decade this side of the twentieth century.  The 1980’s.

It captures the spirit of the genre so well, it makes anyone who watches it want to jump in a Delorean and turn back the clock.  The days of just being a kid.  The stay out until the sun went down days.  Riding your bike around the neighborhood with your friends wreaking havoc until you just knew it was time to go home.  Or else.

Last week Netflix announced it would be bringing the show back for a fourth season.  Eleven’s baaaack.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I have a deep love for Levi’s (and Stranger Things).  So when this collaboration was announced, you better believe I was waiting at my computer for the second it went live.

I will never tire of the Canadian tuxedo.  Double denim should be a fashion rite of passage.  You can’t transcend into the next realm until you’ve rocked it at least once.

I bought this Levi’s trucker jacket one size larger than I would normally wear.  I love an oversized fit.  Paired with wide-leg boyfriend jeans, the whole look has a lot of volume.  If you’re over 5’9, then you can totally rock this look with flats.  But for the rest of us, it’s important to note proportions.  I think it’s essential to pair a heel with this much volume or you’ll be swallowed.  I opted for a simple, nude sandal to keep the attention on the denim.

Hopefully Levi’s will be back with a second round of a Stranger Things collab now that the show got renewed for season 4.

You know I’ll be waiting.

Denim on Denim

Today is the first day of spring and with it comes a new slew of trends.  I’ve talked about the Top 5 Trends you should look out for this season, but one of the fringe players is the idea of denim on denim.  Although it’s technically been around forever, the Canadian tuxedo is getting a reboot.

The key to this look is to have one piece that is oversized or slouchy.  Think boyfriend fit.  I chose this classic Levi’s sherpa jacket in their darkest indigo.  Rather than go for the women’s version, I opted for the men’s to ensure the sizing was perfectly oversized and effortless.

With proportion being the most important aspect of this look, I’d recommend sticking to opposite silhouettes – one half oversized, one half fitted.  Going slouchy on the top and bottom is too difficult to pull off unless you’re one of the lucky few that has a body like a supermodel – long and lean.  With double denim, flare leg jeans would look too Britney circa 1999 and skinny jeans with a slim fitted jacket would be way too Real Housewives of Orange County.

After the Internet went crazy over these clear knee mom jeans, I was feeling inspired to break out my patchwork pair.  Originally a straight leg jean, I cropped them just above the ankle bone for a refreshed look. The slimmer leg doesn’t distract from the patchwork and pairs well with the oversized boyfriend jacket.

What do you think of the denim on denim trend?
