Denim


As I am a good customer (very good indeed!) I am among those who receive a special invite from the shops


And can choose clothing at a lower price before the official start of  summer sale.


Hence, in a very hot day, last week I went for a light weight dress.

Marella

Of course, I came home with something completely different!!
( don't you happen to do  the same??? )
In fact I fell in love with a pair of linen trousers which looked like denim! 
( and two checked tops )


Aldo Castagna 

( old )

Emporio Armani

(old )


I don't often wear trousers and even less in summer, 
but the assistant assured me that since they where from linen,  would have been very fresh and comfortable also in hot days.



 I do hope!

  1. I must admit when I saw the photos, I thought you were wearing jeans! I don't wear jeans personally because I don't like the image of denim but I would be tempted to buy a pair of linen trousers for the summer.

    1. Denim for me is one of the most uncomfortable fabric on Earth! Linen on the contrary is soft and airy ...

  3. Oh these trousers are brilliant - the modern cut of boyfriend jeans, but in my favorite summer fabric. You look wonderful. xo

    1. I am not a fan of blue jeans, but these trousers are really cute, aren't they?

  4. The trousers look great! And that they are linen is a big bonus. I do wear denim quite often, but I'm very picky and it has to be "unnaturally" soft... :-) The big bonus of linen is of course that it's light and airy! And I love the checkered top, too! Great look!

  5. I cannot believe my eyes !!! You in denim. And looking so good in it. This might be the start of a second wardrobe haha. Of course linen is lightweight and perfect for summer but they do look like jeans. Love the outfit (of course I do). Beautiful checked top, beautiful sandals. Well done.

  8. Ha---I can totally relate! In fact, I've pretty much given up on looking for something in particular, because I rarely come home with what I "want"!
    I love these trousers---maybe it'll be nice to have something different? You'll have to keep us in the loop if they are nice and cool!

    1. Out of my comfort zone today! But it's not bad trying something new every now and then ...
      The fabric is light weight and I am wearing the trousers despite the hot temperatures ... everything is going well !!

  10. Both you and Greetje wearing either denim or, in your case, linen that looks like denim!

    And of course, you look chic even in plaid and trousers! Hope you stay cool!

    1. I don't exactly know if you have high temperatures in your part of the world but if you have hot days, you should consider sewing a pair of linen blue jeans ...

  11. They look very comfortable! We have plenty of hot weather here, might have to think about something like this. Love those shoes!!!!

    1. Hi dear Flo, hot weather everywhere!! I bought the trousers because they had caught my attention though with hot temperatures I prefer wearing a sleeveless dress ... I am sure I will use them often in September!

  14. Very nice casual outfit my dear! The top looks beautiful with your denim. I only have one pair of blue jeans, but I do have two pairs of denim capris. I'm not a blue jeans kinda girl but I do have jeans in other colours and prints, like floral and paisley.

    Happy summer!

  19. Dan, I love the linen denim pants! Linen so so light weight, and the checked top is perfect and causal, and the rose sandals add feminine "Dan" touch. I enjoyed the last artistic photo,too.
