Double denim.. YAY or NAY

Picture the scene.. A determined Irish country mother storms into a high-street store in Cork where I used to work, with a twelve year old and ten year old girls in tow. She approaches one of us on the floor and declares in a thick country accent "I need some three quarter length denims*, for the girl, for the confirmation". Cue stifled laughter. "She has the denim jacket already, but she needs the dinims for the confirmation." *Denim was pronounced "Dinims".
I can sometimes take the whole DoubleDenim seriously, depending on how it's done. Denim has been a heavy player this season (Jonathon Saunders for Topshop anyone) and I saw some great denim tip-to-toe looks around the block. I really like the clean denim jeans with denim jacket, rather than the potentially tacky DoubleDistressedDenim.
My awesome friend Theip kindly took pictures of me acting like a little kid, as the whole look reminds me of Saved by the Bell, the tv show of my youth.

This is my amazing new French Connection dress. We all know how I feel about FCUK lately and I think this dress would work really well with a light denim jacket.

So. What are people's opinions? Dodgey Canadian tuxedo or fashion forward for scenesters and fashionistas alike?Photobucket

Peace, fi xx
