it’s friday, and time to trudge the hills of san francisco with my buddy by my side. since i’ve been seeing quite a few denim-on-denim outfits as of late, i decided it would be the perfect ootd for fridays with oscar. i have to admit, even though i’ve faced the scorn of more than one fashionista, i’ve never thought a denim combo ever went out of style. one of my all-time favorite outfits as a young mom with three boys in tow was a pair of jeans, t-shirt, and denim shirt popped over the top. i typically polished the outfit off with a pair of ralph lauren driving moc’s that i wore the bejeebers out of until i sadly had to retire them…
for my current take on denim-on-denim i chose a pair of denim shorts that started off life as distressed jeans until i unfortunately poked a toe through one of the knees. not to worry as i whacked the legs off with a pair of scissors, then rolled them into a cuff. i always have at least one denim shirt hanging in my closet as they go with so many things: shorts, skirts, jeans. a striped tee peeks out from underneath the shirt, and, of course, my trusty denim jacket that my photographer seems to think i wear a little too often – he might be right. instead of driving mocs i have on black sandals with gold studs sprinkled on the straps. so there you have it ladies, my spin on the latest trend (again).
oscar and i wish each of you a happy weekend!

ps…Oscar is such a good boy!
when my boys were young i always recycled their jeans into shorts. but first, i would always patch them the knees up. sadly, that would only last so long…
have a great weekend, jodie!
