Spring trend: Denim dresses go into the blue

Denim continued to rock the spring 2011 runways. For warmer spring and summer days, skip the jeans and slip on a dress in this material. From pale ceil blue to vibrant indigo, any hue will do. And with anything-goes-hemlines from just above or below the knee to an ankle-grazing maxi, a denim dress offers instant easy-breezy comfort. Roll up the sleeves, cinch the waist with a brown leather belt, and go city-chic or country cool.
