Denim is such a versatile fabric, from a casual look to elegantly stylish. I teamed this look with a vintage floral skirt from Reiss, clutch from Jimmy Choo accompanied by simple statement earrings from Oliver Bonos. To bring this denim look to life, I chose a pair of denim heels, however a pair of strappy sandals or sneakers would look great too!… not forgetting sunglasses to encourage the sun!
