Denim and Pearls?

Hi! Are you ready for another Modest Monday post?

Today we’ll be looking into an unlikely combination: denim and pearls. What do you think? For myself, I think that it works. The black shirt gives the outfit a little elegance, complimenting the pearls, and the roundness of the necklace matches the polka dots. I wore this outfit to church just a few weeks ago, but I’m already thinking about wearing it again soon. 😉

I loved wearing this outfit. It was very comfortable, and it has a little secret: the skirt is actually a maxi dress! I’ve never layered a shirt with a dress before, but as I’ve said previously, I’m trying to think up new combinations with the clothes I have. This dress is unwearable without a shirt or sweater over the top, since it’s only held up by thin straps and it’s low-cut, so this was the perfect solution. I really liked not having to mess with a skirt waistband, since they can sometimes be uncomfortable for me. All that to say, I’d definitely layer a shirt with a dress again in the future. How about you? 🙂

Outfit details: The pearls I borrowed from my mom. The shirt was a hand-me-down, I don’t know where it was purchased. The maxi dress is from Old Navy. The denim jacket is Colombia brand, though it was purchased at a thrift store. And the shoes (that you can’t really see 😉 ) are from Walmart.

Well, that’s all for now. What do you think of mixing formal and informal in the same outfit? ~ Emily
