I wore double denim yesterday … but no blue jeans were involved.
Coat: Vintage denim “dice” coat by Patrick Kelly (purchased 2008)
T-shirt: American Apparel
Jeans: Acne (2007)
Shoes: Prada (pre-2004)
Lip color: Lasting Lust by MAC
Necklace: Mud Flap Jill
It still counts, bitches! Denim on top, denim on bottom. Don’t fight it.
Meanwhile, since my last double-denim post, lots of gorgeous bloggers have been getting in on the double-denim trend.
Fashion Clocked is sly — she’s wearing denim sunglasses with that shirt.
That’s Not My Age did triple denim!
And thanks to Stacy of taffetadarlings for finding a vintage picture of Debbie Harry in double denim!
Like I said, “Never is the next new thingâ„¢!
Everyone looks fantastic! But, I really like how you brought some WHITE to the mix WendyB!!

Your idea!
And despite my reservations, all of those ladies pull it off admirably. I loved them all! I’m being converted. I just bought a denim pencil skirt so I might try the old double denim thing out myself.
You know, I never consider white jeans “denim”. They’re more “canvas”.
But I’ll let you off miss B.
Great denim work.
I would have totally missed your double denim! I also like the sly denim glasses. Sweet.
So my dear, have you shown the jumpsuit yet? I’m dying!

Oh noes…am I senile? Which jumpsuit?
“it still counts bitches” – this made me laugh. HARD.
OMG WENDY this is so weird! I never wear double denim… but I did yesterday/today for the first time (same outfit all of yesterday and then this morning too… a bit skanky I know but I didn’t know I wasn’t going home). I wore skinny black denim jeans and a light blue denim waistcoat then later a light denim jacket. xxx

Trying to get through the texas tuxedo loophole with colored denim, I see. I’m onto you Wendy B. : )
rock on! i am always the one who finally buckles at the last minute and goes out to buy “said” hot item (such as denim) and then it is no longer cool. SO 3 years from now I will be sporting double denim when nobody else is…haha.
I am a tad too late with everything. oh well.

Nah, you’re just really ahead of the next time it comes around!
Aw Wendy what a nice surprise for my Thursday morning! Thank you for the awesome shoutout! I’m pretty sure that fashion bloggers have proved over the last couple of months that “double denim” is very do-able!

Love your trench!! Isn’t it crazy that it was hot as hell the other day, and now we have to dust off the jackets and sweaters! Unbelievable! Glad double denim is still alive and kicking!
Man, you pulled out the Debbie Harry double-denim! That’s it, I’m going to go double up.
Ok. I concede that other people look great doing it (especially you, Wendy, due to the lack of blue denim-ness) but I still cannot bring myself to do it.
And I meant to say, after all those gorgeous bloggers in double denim, you then pulled out the Debbie Harry, which was just icing on the cake
I love double denim! That pic of Debbie Harry is awesome. She’s so hot.

I’m floored by all of those stylish double denim looks!
I LOVE this post. Y’all look fantastic. I particularly love white jeans. Very Liz Hurley.
WendyB… double denim… you’re doin’ it right!

Now that I know white denim counts, I’ve got a double denim mix in mind…look for something this weekend.
Is that the Debbie Harry look I should be channeling for Halloween?
You look awesome! I want white jeans.
Thanks for introducing!
BTW – have you any plans of making the Cleopatra necklace in silver?
I love your pinstriped denim coat, Wendy! These double denim posts are always so interesting because every blogger puts their own spin on the look and pulls it off so stylishly.
I love your jeans, fabulous!
xoxo
i totes need to submit my denim on denim look!
While I believe everyone looks very cool, don’t y’all find denim to be too warm? I do myself–I don’t own any denim because I’m uncomfortable in it.
Thanks, WendyB, for your comment about our darlin’ little Duncan. Mama and I appreciate it.
I love the look but have to admit never have I done the look. Maybe that is new on my list.
lusting the photo of debbie harry!!

STILL no double denim for me. But everyone else does it very, very well!
Oh yes, loving it! I haven’t done double denim in a long time but I should try it and will let you know lady!

At last after days of travel and no internet access I get to see this wonderful post. Ha! It is brilliant – what a great collection xx

White skinnies ARE denim. Don’t know why that’s never occurred to me. I’m totally going to work mine with a ruffled chambray top I’ve been lusting after!
