Styling a Denim Jacket for the April Sunday Showcase

April 3, 2022 /

Welcome to the Sunday Showcase where I join Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood the first Sunday of the month to feature a theme and share some style inpiration with you. Feels like it was just recently that I posted about denim jackets sharing lots of outfit ideas with you. Today, I am showing yet another way to wear your denim jacket (I really could have chosen any of mine) by pairing it with a shorter dress and cowboys boots. Wearing your western boots does not mean that you will look like a cowgirl even if you pair it with a denim jacket which makes both pieces versatile. Don’t forget to check out Ada’s post for more pictures of her cute outfit.

I wore my boots to church a couple of Sunday’s ago and decided that featuring them again in this post would be perfect as they really pair well with dresses. You never can go wrong with adding a denim jacket to a dress either: I have never found an outfit that they didn’t work well with one of my denim jackets. I do have a preference for pairing certain dresses with certain denim jackets but I really think any of mine would have worked well in this case.

This jacket was thrifted and I like its uniqueness with the darker denim and the straight collar. I have been rolling the sleeves a lot with my jackets lately so I am not as warm. The dress is a sleeveless dress so is more appropriate for summer weather wise but the colors really can work for all seasons with a topper.

There is actually no pink in the dress but I really like the contrast in color with the blues and red of the dress. My mom picked this dress for me for $2 on clearance at JCPenney. Nice find and this is the first time I have worn it so it felt like shopping even though I didn’t.

You saw this purse last week in Monday’s post, a hand me down from a friend. I do need to wear it more often so after these pictures I kept it out. Such a pretty pink for spring. And the same pink Ada is wearing in her skirt!

The day of these pictures was kind of a stressful day. I had to take my mother in law for a follow up appointment at the doctor then when I got my car oil changed I found out why my car was clunking and making strange noises: a costly 2 days getting fixed up before spring break! Then when my son asked the counselor for his school ranking, she gave him the wrong info. I knew for sure that wasn’t his so after he asked her to check if it she had looked up the wrong student and she assured him she hadn’t, I called her. She was very apologetic because yes, that is what she had done: looked up the wrong student. Very proud of my oldest success in school!

This coming fall, I will have 4 kids in 4 different school! I went to the middle school orientation this past week too and at the writing of this post, I am impatiently waiting to see if my son was a spot in the Georiga Pre K as it is based on a lottery system for the number of spaces they have. If he doesn’t have a spot I will enroll him in a preschool or another Pre K program but I would rather him go to this one as it is in the school system. Update: he’s in!

We’ve had a lot of wind recently when we take pictures and half of my pictures have my hair blowing but at least it is not in my face! I will have to feature this dress without a topper this summer. It is like a wrap top and I had to use a little pin to keep it together. I am ready for sandal season but am content to wear my closed toe shoes a little longer as I know our summers are long and start in the spring! I ended up wearing it with a lighter denim jacket and burgundy Converse on Friday for church.

So if you do not have a denim jacket, I think having at least one is a must! You are sure to find one in your style whether thrifting or shopping retail. And don’t forget to check Ada’s post!

Feature Blogger

This month, I have chosen Leslie as my feature blogger. Leslie is a mother, wife and grandmother with a fun style and a lovely backyard pool area which I am very envious of! She writes at Once Upon a Time Happy Ever After and host the 10 on the 10th linkup once a month on… the 10th. In her post she shared some very pretty sweatshirts (mine are much more casual) and I love how she style her heart with her pretty pleated pink skirt.

After writing this, I realized that I looked up at the other link up I am part of to choose my feature blogger but decided to keep her as maybe you have never checked out her blog and I think you should! Thanks to everyone who linked up last month. I always enjoy reading as many as the posts as I can.

I will probably be a little late reading posts and answering comments this week though as we are on spring break and I plan on a little blogging break. I will not bring my computer to help me focus on relaxing and spending time with my family!
