Denise

July 28, 2014

On my way to meet friends for a drink in Bucktown I spotted Denise, whose effortless sense of style immediately charmed me. I’m also partial to white nail polish, so that’s an easy way to get my attention. More importantly, she’s wearing a dress made from “sweatshirt gray” material. It’s a color I’m exploring in my own wardrobe as of late. Although I took baby steps at first, now I’m in love with its athletic-cool sensibility.

 

Just like Denise, I combine sweatshirt gray with crystal jewelry to balance its inherent ultra-casualness. Alexander Wang has been elevating the material for years along with 3.1 Phillip Lim and Rag & Bone so I’m a little ashamed it took me so long to warm up to the trend. Better late than never – right!?

 

EDIT: Denise recently started a blog and sent me the link. Check out more of her great style over at Winged Almonds!

  3. Yeah she is indeed a very stylish young lady. I’m also a huge fan of maxis for its style and comfort so this sweatshirt-gray one is surely a winner in my book! And I agree that she has the cutest toe nail color!
