Double-Mint Denim

Decked out in denim divine, Thamarr shows us how to double our denim with ease.  This stylish blogger displays how to do your curves justice in a pair of destructive skinny jeans and a tie-up chambray top.  Remember divas, to flatter your physique, try a pair of easy skinny ankle jeans. The heavily distressed details, combined with a sleek fit, makes for the perfect “just add a t-shirt” feel.  For up-top, a staple chambray blouse is an essential for your wardrobe. Make sure to add a staple necklace to create a flattering neckline, or a simple tie at the bottom to amp up your frame.

Denim Jumpsuit

Denim is having more than a moment. Everyone’s familiar with how mod this material can be, and Essie Golden shows us how to rock this street-style ready jumpsuit.  Ladies, take note! Cool buttons and a sleek pair of pumps only enhances the look. The cinched pockets at the waist and distressed detail enhances Essie’s figure, while leaving her pretty fabulous if we must say so ourselves.  To top off this ensemble, take tips from this curvy chica and add a statement fedora and a fringed clutch.
