Its got denim-styling tips galore. including classic denim staple outfits. and some tricks Id never think of in a million years (a cumberbund over a high-waisted pair?! a denim-inspired smokey eye?! YES PLZ). Such a great follow up to 50 Ways to Wear a Scarf!!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. If you own jeans. you should own this book!By jsweissWhat a fun read.
