After my last denim post I got a lot of questions about how to work with different denim washes. Last time I showed you how I like to style classic blue jeans from day to night. A lot of you asked, “Well, what about light colored jeans? Are they ‘in?’ Are they ‘out?’ Can they work from day to night?” So I decided to do a style post with a pair of light blue True Religion jeans and answer a few of the questions I got in my inbox.
As you can see I’m styling another pair of True Religions for this feature. If you’ve read my last post about these jeans you’ll know why I love them. They’re soft, have a really good stretch, and I can actually wear them on a long flight which is pretty impossible when it comes to other jeans. Last time I showed you how with a perfect pair of jeans and the right tank you can create an outfit that works anywhere. This time around I’m going to show you a day to night look around this pair of light wash skinnies called the “Runway Legging.”
A lot of you asked if they were too casual to wear out and I’d have to say no. With the right styling these babies can work double duty. For daytime I wore the with a black tank and flow faux leather jacket. I added a pair of patent leather pointed toe flats to keep the look relaxed but polished. For nighttime I swapped out my CHANEL for something a bit shinier and changed out of my flats and into a pair of Louboutins.
If you find yourself trying to create an outfit around denim of any color and you can’t quite get the chic factor going, just copy this look. Simple, polished, and definitely versatile.

I absolutely love the way you styled this outfit. Wearing light denim can be risky if you’re going out or somewhere fancy, but you killed it with this look and I will definitely be re-creating it. I’m in LOVE with your Chanel bag! xo, Kimmie

Light denim is my fave! It does remind me of warmer weather, but they are the perfect way to break up a dark/deep outfit.
