Operation Denim Shirt: Look #3 – Too soon?

Okay…..so in my post yesterday, I wrote and shared my love letter to the denim shirt.
And if you’re a friend of mine, you know when I’m IN….I’m ALL. IN.
When I find something I like, I latch on to it.
This poor denim shirt is the 2013 equivalent of my 1987 obsession with my Coca-Cola shirt.
I mean, who wouldn’t be obsessed with a shirt as completely awesome as this?

(This isn’t my shirt. I google imaged it. And I have to admit, it’s making me a big nostalgic.)
Mom – I challenge you to find a picture of me in this shirt so I can post it. It shouldn’t be that hard to find since I wore it at least once a week.

You can only style a Coca-Cola shirt so many ways, but I sure do remember wearing it a lot.
Like A LOT.
I either wore it with my Guess acid washed jeans that I would tight roll (because, HELLO! Awesome!) or these really cool jeans I got at some little store in town that zipped up the back on each ankle and had bows placed at the top of the zippers.
Wait. Don’t be sad for me.
I felt like I OWNED 5th grade in my Coca-Cola shirt and my Guess jeans.
Okay, maybe you should be a little sad for me.
I would pull my hair back in those braided barrettes that we all had with the little plastic pieces dangling off the end, or I would sweep it into a high side pony with a nice scrunchy, or (if I got up early enough and my high school neighbor Katrina could come over to fix my hair) maybe even rock a french braid.
The possibilities were endless.

Now, back to my current obsession.
My perfect denim shirt.
I questioned if I should do another denim shirt post already. Was it too soon? Was I really wanting to show my obsessive personality so soon on the blog?
In the end I decided to go ahead and post it since I styled it with shorts, and I think this is going to be the last of my shorts posts.
So, here it is. Denim with khaki shorts.

There was nothing fancy about this outfit, but I really liked it.
I wore this a couple of nights ago to meet my bible study girlfriends at Starbucks for a scarf exchange to help kick off fall!

In closing, I would like to leave you with an analogy.
Coca Cola Shirt: 1987 :: Denim Shirt: 2013

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!
Okay peeps, just opened my e-mail.
The LOFT has 40% off accessories today when you enter the code ACCESSORIZE. The LOFT is my GO TO store for pretty much everything.
They have awesome scarves, jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, and cocktail rings), clutches, belts, a small selection of shoes, and sunglasses.

So…….go forth and BUY!!!!!

I want these (although I have absolutely nowhere to wear them), I am buying this for sure…..so expect to see it in future outfits, and I’m thinking this would go with lots of things, but I’m not sure about it. I love tortoise shell, and I feel like I could wear it casual or dressy. Thoughts?

And most importantly….remember to use girl math while your shopping, which states:

40% off is basically free.
You’re welcome. 😉
