The Denim Jacket: A Blast From the Past or Present Perfect?

That's the question asked by style.com. My answer? A timeless wardrobe staple which adds instant appeal to many a look. At this point, I own three....cropped, "the classic," and a blazer-style with patches that I've had since the early 90s. What I don't own, is the dark rinse style....after seeing Hanne Gaby Odiele's chic look, I'm definitely getting one! Her yellow bag, the loafers, the dress...it all works so well together!
