So last week, I took McArthurGlen designer outlet up on their denim diary style challenge. The challenge was to style two pieces of denim up for a week, so over the next few days I'll be sharing my takes on some classic trends. To celebrate the classic wardrobe staple, denim, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are launching New Denim Icons this October. 

So today it's the denim shirt, I adore this one as it's polka dot and is tailored differently from other denim shirts I own. They have other 250 brands including Burberry, Mulberry, Armani, Replay, Diesel, Guess, Ted Baker, Reiss, Jaeger, Lulu Guinness and Michael Kors offering year-round savings of up to 60%, McArthurGlen is a haven for new season trends and denim. 

I decided to show you how I would rock the check trend, as most people are going for a checked cape I still swear by a checked skirt. It really is a classic and has became a staple for my autumn winter wardrobe. To break it up from looking to casual, I added my vintage jacket and a kooky purse. Ankle boots are perfect for slimming my legs and making them look longer, I tucked the shirt into the skirt to make sure my waistline was not lost. It's a great day time look, if you have any leopard print like a coat or cardigan it would also work giving your outfit a more punk meets rockabilly look.
