Hi there! Today it’s time for the second “Ageless Style Link-Up” with the theme Summer Favourite Look. This link up will be on the first Tuesday of each month so stay tuned.
You’d think having to post your favourite look would be easy – but if I like a look it instantly becomes my favourite so I have many favourites – eek!
Instead I tried to think of the themes that are prevailing for this summer and two “biggies” would have to be denim and stripes. Everyone needs them in their wardrobe this summer.
My current favourite top is this little Levis denim short sleeved shirt I picked up in Paris.
I love the fact that it’s so versatile and that denim with denim works so well this season:
Because it is supposed to be summer and denim tends to be dark, I decided to team the look up with light coloured pumps and matching bag.
The denim skirt is from M&S and is A-Line but not as extreme A-line as my little striped skirt from Tommy Hilfiger this skirt is vintage but they have a cute selection currently in store.
If you compare the pictures note how the more extreme A-line skirt gives you a very feminine girly look whilst the darker denim skirt with only a slight A-line cut looks alot more corporate and serious.

Yvonne…that denim blouse is absolute perfection. I can’t think of anything more versatile and I love that it has short sleeves! Both skirts are great with it, I don’t know that I can pick a favorite!

I love both versions of your look. Lately I’ve been digging the A-Line button front skirts; they’re so retro.
Thanks Daenel – Love A-line too – like the fact that they make legs look skinny – smile.
