Double denim golden rules

Been super busy lately and yes, I should never let this slack but it's blame it on the store opening.....we will be opening soon! Woohooo.

See what I found on the Guardian website and I dedicate it to Chic Le Vogueish ...just for you!
No belt, please. With a belt, the look that you were hoping projected Paris catwalk insouciance becomes unreconstructed Idaho truck driver.  
You need contrast in colour: One piece should be a darker-hued denim. You might want this on your bottom half, darker colours being more slimming, but beware: a pale denim shirt can wash out your skintone.
Don't go with a very fine chambray shirt with a very heavy denim jean. That's not double denim, that's cheating, and it doesn't have the right impact.
Break up the heaviness of the look with something light and feminine: the strap of a fabulous Chloé or Mulberry cross-body handbag, perhaps; or a gorgeous pair of dangly earrings; or wear the shirt open one extra button to show off a tiny glimpse of a pretty camisole.
Roll your sleeves up and highlight bare wrists with a bracelet or a cocktail ring. 
Finally, no cowboy boots. Keep feet semi-naked in ballet pumps or a pretty flat sandal.
