5 Ways Denim Is The New Black

It's the start of a new school year, and with that, comes new trends. However, this recent trend isn't exactly new--you've probably had some of these items for years. Dust off your jean skirt from middle school, because denim is the current fashion craze. Here's a few items you need right now to be on trend:

1. Overalls


They aren't just for the 90's anymore. Recently, pictures of girls in ripped-up overalls have littered my Instagram feed, and I can't help but jump on the overall bandwagon. They're effortless yet edgy, and they can make any outfit 100% more interesting. I like to pair them with simple crop tops and platform sandals. Rachel Green from "Friends" isn't the only one who can rock overalls anymore.

2. Skirts


Yet another piece of clothing that has made it's way in and out of many decades. Denim skirts are so easy to dress up or dress down, it's no wonder they seem to always make a comeback. A simple piece like this goes with almost everything, and it is essential to have in your closet. They go great with boxy crop tops and leather booties.

3. Shorts

The classic, jean shorts. I've been wearing them for as long as I can remember, but recently they've gotten an upgrade. Lately, denim shorts have been covered in patches and embroidery, creating a retro or vintage look. No longer just a music festival staple, these shorts work best with plain tops and simple accessories.

4. Bags


I'm a sucker for a leather bag, but recently I've taken an interest in bags made of--you guessed it--denim. Stella McCartney came out with the Denim Falabella for Fall 16, using the recent denim craze to her advantage. Denim bags are perfect for spicing up a monochromatic outfit and transitioning from summer to fall.

5. Dresses

Last but not least, the denim dress. If you love denim, why not wear a whole dress made of it? Take a cue from Julianne Hough and match a denim t-shirt dress with booties and a leather bag (if only we could all carry a Céline like she can). Not only is this loose-fitting style comfortable, but it can go from day to night with the help of a heel.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
