ThriftyThursday: The Denim Shirt


Denim has made a huge comeback, and I could not be more pleased. The denim shirt is arguably one of the most versatile items in my closet with its ability to be dressed in a number of ways. I provided a few examples above.

I also did a little research on different techniques in styling a denim shirt and - thanks to fellow blogger, Lena Penteado - learned of seven approaches to this multifaceted article of clothing: with a casual undershirt, with black skinny pants, with a loose knit sweater on top, tucked into a skirt, with a dress, denim on denim, and with a bib necklace.

For your reference, did you know that a denim shirt and a chambray shirt are not one in the same? Easiest way to tell the difference is the feel of the fabric. A chambray shirt is made with a softer weave which makes it less durable but more comfortable.

Budget alert! Forever 21 has a number of denim and chambray shirts for under $30. This shirt is under $20. I actually purchased a chambray shirt from Wal-Mart three years ago for $7!
