FIRST POST! Copy Cat Chic: Denim on Denim

Recently I was browsing my Tumblr for inspiration, which I do frequently before getting dressed if I'm stuck in a rut on what to wear. I stumbled across this picture of Rihanna posted a couple weeks back, which has become pretty popular, where she pairs a denim top with a denim pencil skirt and heels, along with a leather cap.

Although I opted out of the leather cap (though I recently purchased one), I decided the denim on denim look fit my mood today. It was raining when I started snapping pictures, so the lighting and the scenery in these photos aren't ideal, but it'll do for my first post! Rest assured I'll have more attractive pictures in the future :)

My rendition includes a Forever21 denim shirt, stolen from my mom, American Apparel skirt and Steve Madden pumps.

Excuse the hair, i didnt feel like combing :P

Also, I LOVE the lunch sack clutch trend. It's so adorable and chic, very simple and modern. I love artsy fashion that plays on such simple concepts. Unfortunately most available on the market right now are over $100, especially if they're real leather. Zara sold one for a limited time that was affordable, however I was only able to find moderately priced handmade alternatives on Etsy. This one is made of vinyl, but it still has the leather feel. LOVE!

Not only did I love this pairing of a denim top and bottom, I recreated the look in three other different variations, both casual and going-out friendly, for those who don't necessarily like the flavor of the first ensemble. Check out the video of those looks soon to be posted on my youtube channel.
