Some days you wake up and you just know that you have to wear head to toe denim.
Yesterday was one of those days.
So happy that chambray showed up and offered us a suitable alternative to those hideous jean shirts that we all wore in the mid-90’s.
Speaking of which, there is this epic wall at my parents house, covered literally floor to ceiling with all kinds of awkward pictures of me, my four sisters and my cute brother from the time we were in diapers until, well now. (it’s practically a shrine to my parents posterity guys)
Anyways, as if all those humiliating Olan Mills portraits weren’t enough, right smack dab in the middle of the wall of fame hangs the crescendo to all hideous family photos.
The entire Meaker clan, (all of us somehow simultaneously smack dab in the middle of the awkward preteen stage) with terrible bangs and worse hair cuts, and all eight of us clad completely in denim. And there I am front and center with my (even more pronounced if you can believe it) chipmunk teeth and a choker. A choker. It’s just so, so wrong. Yet there it hangs, perpetual humiliation for the rest of my life.
I guess we all need something to keep us humble.
Mine is hanging in my parents basement.
Can we talk about how awesome lady ties are? This really has nothing to do with humiliating portraits, but I feel like you should know how amazing I feel when I wear a tie. You know, just in case you want the chance to feel all powerful and rebellious at the same time. That’s how I feel when I wear one. And this might sound weird but it makes me feel taller too. Which, let’s face it, like never happens.

Your awkward family photos remind me of my parent’s house as well! Oy. It’s a constant source of entertainment for my husband. And I do love how you rocked head to toe denim! Fun look!

Oh Olan Mills, I thought that was a Pennsylvania/East Coast company. You can’t forgot Glamour shots too. I remember rocking a denim jacket & hot pink cowboy hat, those where the days! I love your spin on the denim/chambray trend. :)
love the denim on denim look on you — and girl, you look great for just recently having your little one! xo

This outfit is so cute! You look GREAT for someone who just had a baby! I mean, running around after three little munchkins and feeding another (I bet non-stop) helps huh?
Seriously, what’s your secret! Please share with the rest of us, peasants

You are gorgeous!!!!! Still can’t get over that you JUST had that baby!!!
I absolutely love this outfit and the tie. I like the one you are wearing than the one on ASOS. I like that yours is thicker. Will have to keep my eye peeled for a tie. If you get a chance please check out my 30 in 30.

First of all you look absolutely amazing considering you had a little one not too long ago!!
Secondly had you told me a few years ago I would love head to toe denim I would have laughed at you, but now with you and other bloggers showing how to do it the “RIGHT” way I can’t wait to try it myself.
LOVE this outfit – especially the tie! Uber cute, and you look fantastic!
Can I just say you look absolutely AMAZING for just having a baby! Love your blue jeans.
Love this outfit!
The tie really makes the outfit! Love it!
You look absolutely amazing after just having your baby! You go girl. :) Oh and the tie….so fitting for you! xo
I love denim-on-denim! Those jeans fit you perfectly! I cannot believe you just had a baby! xoxo
I’m repeating everyone else but seriously…you look incredible and how have you just had a baby! I only hope this will be me when I start having children. Amazing.
You look tall.
Olan Mills. He he he he! :)
I am in love with this outfit — and I actually do think you look taller! Though I think it’s probably the killer jeans, not the tie. :) Also, so impressed that you can tie a tie. I wouldn’t even know where to begin!
I love the denim on denim look on you…you look fantastic! I’m definitely going to try to recreate this look! Check out my blog if you have a chance…$50 gift card giveaway to either Anthropologie or J.Crew.

Those jeans totally elongate your legs. And from one short girl to another, I’d wear them every day! ;)
