If art & design school taught is one useful thing, it’s that hues of orange and red look great with blue. And while you can translate that using jeans and a top, the ladies of DT are huge fans of throwing the pop color on our lips! We’ve whipped up combinations of our favorite lipsticks and our favorite jeans to show you how makeup and denim can work together in perfect harmony. Show us your own denim x lipstick combinations on our facebook wall!

We’re pretty big on the light wash jeans lately, and our favorite new arrival at Nasty Gal is right on point with our cravings. These high waisted Cheap Monday “Super Light Blue” Second Skin skinny jeans are the perfect answer to ’90s crop-top T’s and killer heels. The light wash leaves room for playful lipstick shades and contrast-drawing belts like the skinny leather belt shown below. A simple pendant and gold bracelet, and you’re as fresh as the spring breeze itself! But wait, there’s more… these jeans are only $65!

Denim of Virtue Boyfriend Cut-Off Shorts ($194) – buy it at National Jean Company.
Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout ($7) – buy it at Ultra Beauty.
Forever 21 Darling Floral Chiffon Top ($19) – buy it at Forever 21.

Want to see how this combo pans out in-person? Tasha B of London pulls it off with ease, finishing the look with laced flat shoes and a top-knot hair style. Go further with a sweep of cat-like eyeliner and a collar buttoned up to the top. We love it!
