Dove Grey & Luxurious Velvet

J Brand Maria Jeans in Dove Grey with a Chanel Velvet Boy Bag

When I posted a preview of this look on Instagram last weekend, quite a few of you were intrigued in seeing the jeans and the rest of the outfit, so here it is! I was planning on posting another look today, but I swapped that outfit out for this one instead, since I know so many of you wanted to see it properly. It’s the look that I wore while going out to lunch with Adam in town and we shot the photos at the top of Bath town in the old fashioned streets, namely Great Pulteney Street, which looks very similar to parts of London actually.

So, what was I wearing? I was wearing my new J Brand Maria High Rise Jeans in Dove which are absolutely gorgeous! I featured these in my Currently Craving wish list last month and so many of you fell in love with them like I did. I have a thing for grey denim and the wash needs to be perfect, luckily on these J Brand grey jeans, this Dove wash is magical! The Maria cut isn’t as flattering to me as other brands that I wear, but the wash makes up for that to me. I paired the jeans with a Zara cream sweater which I have had for a long while now, my RAYE Grey Suede Heels to add another grey element to the jeans and then finished it off with my Chanel Small Boy Bag in Bordeaux Velvet which I think just adds that rich jewel tone pop of colour that the outfit needs. For those of you who love this Chanel bag, you can buy a very similar Rebecca Minkoff bag here in a red velvet!

Sometimes there’s nothing I love more than having a really comfortable and casual look of high rise skinny jeans and a slouchy sweater, but finishing it off with some high heels so that it doesn’t look sloppy (I did of course have flats with me though for the walking though). Being that my Chanel bag has a luxurious velvet feel to it though, I think it just adds a touch of elegance to the whole outfit and makes the J Brand jeans come to life a little more. So, now that you have seen these J Brand Maria Jeans in Dove in full and seen how I paired the jeans with my Chanel Small Velvet Boy Bag, what do you think? Do you like the outfit? I’d love for you to let me know in the comments below.

    Yeah, I’ll plead guilty to the fact that in your post about the bag it was the jeans caught my eye more than the bag did. Which, I’ll add, is not to do down the bag which is very nice indeed. Those jeans are fabulous though and the wash certainly is gorgeous.

    I think grey denim is a great look anyway. It baffles me slightly as to why it’s not more popular than it is – I suppose that, in the English language, grey has become an unfortunate byword for boring so maybe that’s why grey isn’t worn so much? There’s certainly nothing boring about these jeans anyhow. I love this look! đŸ˜€

    That’s a nice location too. I can certainly see what you mean about it looking like parts of London. đŸ™‚

      I think more people should wear grey denim too, it’s such an underrated wash for jeans! And I know, I think parts like Chelsea and Notting Hill look very similar in terms of location!

        Yeah, it’s a pity that it’s so underrated. I can’t actually think of any colour that doesn’t pair up well with grey – which ought to be a strong point in favour of grey jeans.

          Yes! I do think they are becoming more popular though, Kate Moss adores grey jeans and Hilary Duff does so maybe it might pick up more!

    Dear Lorna,
    I absolutely love this look!! The chanel bag wonderful and i can fully understand that your are so excited about it. The colour combination is timeless and really pretty – i love grey and burgundy together, too. And opposed to what your wrote in your post, i think the Maria cut is very flattering to you – this is at least what i see on the pictures đŸ™‚
    I can imagine that you may find the back pockets to be placed a bit high (compared to your citizens) – but i think you just look great.
    Can’t wait to see more looks with your Boy bag!
    Have a great week! đŸ™‚

      Thank you so much đŸ™‚ Yeah with these I feel like the back pockets are too high to be as perfect as I want. I love the wash though so that makes up for it! So glad you like the bag too! đŸ™‚

    I agree with you, dear Lorna, sometimes there’s nothing like having a comfortable look – but your look is always chic and awesome! You always look fabulous, so you can wear whatever you like! I loved the jeans and the shoes, and the velvet bag, well, that speaks for itself! An outfit that I really love!

    Yes to grey denim! I am such a big fan of anything grey, I don’t know, for me it’s kind of like that color you can wear all year round because you can go for a softer shade of grey during the summer, then go darker during the colder months! Also, I did really like your purse. One day I’ll walk around with a Chanel. One day.

    Your grey denim jeans are so lovely, Lorna! They look incredible & got me thinking why there are no grey jeans in my denim collection. I have to fix that asap!
    Lovely outfit & the bag compliments it and finishes it like a cherry on top.

    You know what? I recently wore the same color combination of jeans and sweater and I wasn’t sure if it fit (even though I liked it) and now seeing you wear it, makes me feel that I was right in pairing them together xD It’s silly, I know!
    Again, the bag looks lovely on you and it really stands out in this outfit!
