Labor Day weekend is over and NYFW has just begun, which means fall fashion is in full effect (even if you live in the South like me and it’s still in the nineties outside). Just in time for the new season in fashion and for the start of school, I’m partnering up with my friends at Nordstrom to bring you this beauty school dropout bombshell look featuring some must-have destroyed denim.

Read on to find out why destroyed denim is a must-have for fall and how I was inspired by the classic movie Grease to create this fall outfit.

No matter the trends, one thing that’s always true for transitioning from summer to fall fashion is you have to swap your denim shorts for some jeans, which always requires a few new pairs. Nordstrom is my denim go-to because they offer such a wide range of denim brands I love, from the super affordable to the pricier, high quality denim that I know will last for years to come. Nordstrom also has amazing return policies so if you’re an online shopper like me and your jeans don’t fit, you can easily swap them out for free or even order two sizes to see which ones fit you better.

One of the big denim trends this fall is destroyed denim. Whether destroyed skinny jeans, destroyed boyfriend jeans or somewhere in between the two like the pair I’m styling today, when it comes to denim, the more rips the better. As a girly girl at heart I love that the trend offers an easy way to add some undone, cool girl flare to your look. I love the denim trend so much, in fact, that I’ve rounded up more of my favorite destroyed denim for you to shop below.

Now about this pair of destroyed jeans. They are by One Teaspoon, one of my absolute favorite denim brands when it comes to distressed denim. I absolutely love the dramatic rips in the jeans and the zip up sides that allow for a fun rolled up look. I wanted to juxtapose the edgy, grungy feel of the destroyed jeans with some ultra-girly staples. Another trend that I’m loving right now is the school girl/athleisure look and this satin bomber jacket totally reminded me of the pink ladies from Grease, so I had to have it! I love that the jacket is long so you can pair it with leggings too and the color is just divine!!

To continue the vintage school girl theme, I paired this sparkly tank with the athletic ribbed trim beneath the jacket and continued the silver sparkle with these gorgeous tassel earrings by BaubleBar and my Chiara Ferragni flirty glitter pumps. These pumps aren’t in stock, but I found several similar ones for ya + a flat version of the pump below in case you’re as in love with the adorable winky eyes as I am! I completed the look with a clutch in my favorite fall neutral – leopard print and my new go-to blush sunnies.
