Denim material has been around since the 1500’s but it wasn’t until Bavarian born Levi Strauss made the first pair of blue jeans in 1873 that this fabulous fabric became a wardrobe staple…
Every generation has their own take on denim but one of my fave pairings has always been jeans, a white blouse & a denim vest
My refashioned Canadian Tuxedo is awesome!

You look the same! Awesome outfit!
mwahahahahaha! Cheers gals! The same? Not so much… 😉
I totally agree, all the nostalgic pictures of you are so fun! I found your modelling days and fashion trend reboot post and it was so cool! Love your denim rebel, dandelion blowing style!! 🙂
Thanks Kristi…it’s pretty damn entertaining to reminisce through my days-gone-by photos and always amusing to see just how little fashion has changed over the years…are designers really so out of ideas? 😉
I know I’ve said this before, but I love love love seeing the older pictures of you! You did such a great job recreating the original look of the classy Canadian Tuxedo 🙂
May the Canadian Tuxedo never die out! 😀
Oh my gosh you were such a little rebel back in the 90s, I Love it!! And I love your look now 🙂
ach…I’ve been a rebel since the day I was born 😉
*in my experience coming from a cold, unsupportive, dysfunctional family can have two outcomes: a quirky, creative rebel who escapes to try to find the love & support that she never had but ultimately discovers herself or a maladjusted arsehole – guess which one I am
Haha, I’m thinking the same one I hope I am? Or at least the one I’m hoping I’m on the path to (fingers crossed). Probably why I became a therapist lol
I knew we’d have more in common than not…we’d certainly have no shortage of topics for tea time if we lived near each other! 😀
This is a great look! I’ve been afraid to try the denim on denim look, but I should really give it a try sometime! I love the old photo too! You look great in both though, seriously!
Cheers Beth – denim on denim is a Canadian classic! 😉
Love the throwback pic from the 90s AND the new look!
Thanks Vee…could my lipstick have been any thicker & darker?? Helllloooo 90’s! 😀
Ha ha ha. I love it! I used to do that myself!
I love it when you post old photos! It’s so fun to see what you wore and compare to the updated version. The denim vest over a white blouse is a cool combo. I’ll have to give that a try. 🙂
It’s hilarious to go through my old portfolio and try to recreate the looks! 😉
This is awesome. I love that you have a photo from the 90’s!
Thanks Sarah…as I was in my 20’s for most of the 90’s (& beginning of the 00’s) before the advent of digital everything I have quite a few actual printed photos lurking about 😉
