I saw this denim dress as memories on Facebook a few times and realized I had only worn it once. What a shame huh! On a very nice day, namely Easter Sunday last year. Brunch with friends. So it was about time to get this dress out of the closet again. It has pockets, can it get any better? I’ve always liked denim, except for jeans, never cared much about that. Now I like them, but I’m not crazy about them. It’s more that they are practical……I hate practical.
For the coming two weeks, I will not post on Friday as it is our vacation. For the first time in 8 years I am not posting……Well, I do have The Good Buy/Good-Bye and The Thrifty six for you on the 14th and 15th!
How to wear a denim dress
But denim skirts, dresses, jackets, etc, I love those. So how would I wear this denim dress? It had to be different from last time. But I tend to wear a item often the same way. It is still very cold here so I can’t wear sandals or short sleeves now. Perhaps after the weekend!
So I wear a basic shirt underneath, I wear that under everything anyway. And leather trousers! Which I never wear because white couch….. I’ve always liked wearing trousers under a dress. I can remember doing that in 2000 when I had just started a new job. Everyone thought it was weird, but it made me feel great! I am a big proponent of wearing where you feel good in. That’s what I find with jeans, so impersonal. Way too easy! But hey, who am I.
Trousers under denim dress outfit
I wear a sweater with it that I wear more as an accessory over the shoulders and an elastic belt over it. A white plastic bracelet to bring back the white in the sneakers and a second-hand necklace. The sneakers are also a bit older, but I think they are very nice because they are padded. I think this look with my denim dress is successful!
So when Gerben comes home from work today we have vacation! Still can’t believe it. We aren’t going to Rye because of Jack, but I am sure we will have a great time at home. We both need a break from this horrible months we had. See you in two weeks!
I would really appreciate it if you would follow me on Instagram.

My pleasure Kellyann! And thank you for the huge compliment!
What a cool denim dress! I love it with the black slacks. This is a terrific look. Happy Vacation! 😄
Great outfit, Nancy! Love the layered denim dress, it definitely needs to get out of the closet more often. Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Thanks for the link up party!
Enjoy your vacation and we’ll see you on here when you come back fully rested. My husband had a little health scare last month and in a week I’m going on Autumn’s class trip and even though it’ll be a little hectic with all the teenagers, I am excited just to get away for a bit from my daily grind and the stress of the last couple months. This dress is so pretty on you, I love the layers and it looks so nice and warm AND chic! 🙂

Enjoy your vacation Nancy! Sounds great. I am so ready for mine in 11 days! Love that you styled it with leather pants and those sneakers. A fun sporty look, and the belt elevates it as well.
Have a great weekend!

I am excited for you to have a vacation. Vacation are having me frustrated this year as I like to plan and nothing is set in stone yet. Hopefully after this weekend, at least one will be booked and the other two within the month. I need to wear my denim dress, the one I won in a giveaway last year!

I’m swooning over your denim dress, Nancy, particularly as I have been on the lookout for one for absolutely ages! I’m loving the quirky way you styled it here with the sweater worn as an accessory. Also loving your sneakers, which means q lot, as I’m not the biggest fan of sneakers 🙂 Have an absolute blast of a holiday, whatever you’re up to! xxx
Enjoy your vacation! I hope you have a really wonderful time.
I love the denim dress over the trousers! The way you’ve draped the sweater looks really cool. I hope you have a wonderful vacation!

Have a wonderful time just relaxing at home, Nancy! I absolutely love the way you draped that sweater around you and under the belt…so chic and edgy! Thanks for the link party, too!

Great styling What a cool denim dress! I love it with the black slacks. This is a terrific look.
Nancy, I am IN LOVE with this outfit!! I love everything about it! You look like a true fashionista. The dress is beautiful, exactly the kind of denim dress I like to wear, but I would never have thought to wear it with a tee beneath it. Love the trousers with it, as well as the trainers. And the way you’ve done the sweater and belt is simply genius!
When I was a kid living in Portugal, I used to see a lot of Dutch women wear trousers with dresses and I always loved it. It was such a different thing to do. I think it must’ve stuck with me, because it’s one of my favourite things to do now too!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Big hugs

Cute, Cute, Cute, Nancy! I love this denim dress and the fun way you wore your sweater! I was wearing dresses over pants way back in 2000 as well and people thought I was weird, too! I love weird. And I love you because you are as weird as me! I hope you have a fabulous vacation, my friend. You deserve it!

A denim dress is so classic, but love how you styled yours with black accessories to make it a little cooler, especially the trainers!

Hooray for a vacation to Rye! Nancy, I hope you and Gerben have a wonderful time!
Love this denim Jammy Dress (as in so comfy, it’s like pajamas/jammies!). You could style this a ton of different ways! I like pants under dresses too!
Just made it for the link-party – thanks!
