Sometimes I get so excited about the latest trend that I forget how important modern classic basics can be for building a wardrobe.
My fellow teacher and bestie Lynn and I take daily photos every morning before school to share our outfits on Instagram. (Follow us: @fashionshouldbefun & @lynnnie34!) I was scrolling through our pics one day and noticed how often we both wear a denim jacket.
Here’s a few outfit pics …
Lynn and I both love a denim jacket as a chic topper to white jeans.
Or khakis …
And even a dress!
Sticking with the theme, here’s a few fab denim jacket looks from last week’s party …
Jaymie of Shop Your Closet by Jaymie Ashcraft looks perfect for fall. Check out those pretty leaves in the background!
The gorgeous Rebecca of Red Tag Chic Los Angeles adds a denim jacket to her LBD and OTK boots.
And two stunning looks from the always fabulous Heather of Forage Fashion …
Do you have a denim jacket that you love?

You can't have too many denim jackets. Quintessential classic they are. How sweet you look in the white dress with denim jacket. Very nice.
Thanks so much, Glenda! 🙂
I love that you all have a picture taking routine! You both look so great in your denim.

Thanks, Amy Ann! 🙂
Nothing is better than a jean jacket. I have worn them my whole life! I finally found a pair of wedge booties like your adorable ones! Can I end a sentence like that? Yikes! Anyway, everyone looks amazing! Peace! Cheryl
It's all good to me! 😀 Yeah for denim jackets and booties! OXOX
You two are the cutest! I love wearing my denim jacket too – it seems to go with everything.

Would love for you to stop by & join TBT Fashion link up.
Thanks Alice! Hasn't it been so hard to dress lately with the extra hot weather?
It's funny, the latest post on my blog is a maxi skirt…and a denim jacket! I just linked it up!
I definitely wear my denim jacket a lot in spring, so I've been embracing it lately. Doing the Frocktober fundraiser too I've found it's the perfect partner with my dresses many times.
Thank you for the link up!

I included your adorable denim jacket look on my IG pic … hope you got to see it! OXOX
Wow!!!!! I was so excited to see my picture!!!!! Thank you. 🙂
I love the denim and white dress!
Jaymie
Super cute fall look, Jaymie! 🙂
Love my Paige denim jacket. Love yours too. Like you and Lynn, I love mine with white pants and khakis and pretty much everything.
You always look fab in your denim jacket, Susan! 🙂
OMG THANKS sooooo much for the feature my dear! It is always fun and an honor to grace your blog – stay FAB and have a weekend as lovely as you!

You always look amazing, Rebecca! So glad being featured made you happy! OXOX
Dawn, you and your buddy from work look great in your outfits, denim jacket or no. I too love my denim jackets and wear them A TON! My favorite outfit of you two is the last one with the dresses (of course). BTW, what do you teach?
I am glad that you kept up the theme and included some stylish ladies in their denim jackets. Heather's sense of style is fabulous, always. Also, how cool that the first three link-ups this week (from what I noticed) feature denim toppers. While I don't have on a denim jacket, I think you will like my denim dress today.
Longest comment ever lol.
Have a great weekend! Ada. =)
I love chatty comments! I teach high school English. Fun but exhausting job! OXOX
You guys are too cute together. I wear denim all the time, not sure what I would wear if I didn't have it. A denim jacket is a must have for everyone, it's just so versatile and always looks stylish. I happen to be wearing a denim jacket in my current post, so I fit right in with your theme. Thank you for hosting!

A denim jacket is high on my wish list. I only own a yellow one.
You would look super adorable in a denim jacket! 🙂
It is too cute how you both always share a fashion photo in front of school to start the day! Love it!

Aww thanks! We're silly but we have fun! 🙂
Can't go wrong with a denim jacket over anything, its such a classic. Love all your looks especially over the white dress.

Thanks Nora! Can't wait for my merlot poncho! Yay!
You're always right on the money with the wardrobe staples Dawn! Yep I love my veeeery old Wrangler denim jacket, think it's probably past vintage & made it to antique hahaha.
btw Have you always had your age in your side bar bio? I like it, you look amazing for 49 years young xxx
Aww thanks so much, Michelle! Yes, I've always had my age there. I figure we should be proud of our years, right?! Muah!
I just found a lightweight denim shirt/jacket at the thrift store last week for 3 bucks, and I've already worn it twice! Such an essential and versatile piece, and you and your friend are totally stylin' in your denim jackets!
Oh awesome! Don't you love a great deal?! 🙂
Hi Dawn,
I couldn't find your email anywhere so I thought this is the best way to let you know that we just received more of the Merlot hooded ponchos and they are back in stock. I know you were interested in one. If you are interested in getting one, I wouldn't wait very long as they will go fast. Thanks and I hope you get one, I would love to see how you style it!

How fun to have a colleague who shares your passion for fashion and you can take pictures with every morning. You guys look fabulous. Denim is such a staple, can't live without it.
Yeah, I am lucky and we have a lot of fun together! Thanks, Cynthia! 🙂
The denim jacket ~ probably the best topper of them all !!
Monica.
Agreed! 🙂
Love your denim jacket looks!
Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Having a BFF who loves fashion as much as you do is such a bonus, dearest Dawn…how awesome that the two of you do daily outfit photos together!! I've unfortunately had to start going it alone when it comes to photography for my blog – my hubby has retired from his position as my camera man! – but I'm determined to keep the outfit posts coming!! XOXO

Girl, I feel your pain! I always wished I could talk my hubby into playing fashion photographer but he hates it … no patience for it at all! I do all my own photos with a timer cam on my iPhone!

Great that you have a friend in another teacher, a support system as I needed one in school! I love that you both share you fashion ! Love the looks here especially the Karina dresseson you. Love the grey wedge booties and the jean jackets!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks Dear! 🙂
Denim jackets are so versatile – you can dress them up or down! This is so timely as I posted an outfit on Monday with a denim jacket so I've linked to join the denim party! That's so sweet you meet every morning and take photos.
Thanks for including a denim post! Cool! Yeah, luckily her classroom is right across from mine, so it's easy to sneak in a pic before class. We have a couple of sweet girls who are always happy to play photographer! 🙂
Cute denim, both of you, cool enough for school.
Thanks, Tiina! 🙂
You guys are so cute! A denim jacket is definitely a closet staple. I wear mine all the time!

Let's do coffee soon! The link up is always open for several days after Friday, so you're always invited to link up … early or late! OXOX
Oh my dear, you are so sweet. I love our fun time taking pictures in the morning. It makes our job so much more enjoyable. I am so glad to have such a bestie like you. I really wasn't a big fan of denim jacket until lately. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wonderful stylist party. I really love reading so many sweet comments from all fashionable ladies 🙂
You make school SO much fun, Lynn! Love you, Girl! And yeah, isn't everyone super sweet? OXOX
Love the outfits you and Lynn came up with!
Thanks Lanae! 🙂
You two are so adorable I can't even stand it! My principal (who I taught with for years) is actually my "fashionista friend" at school. I need to get some shots of us together!
