Denim Forever
 
 

 
Denim is a staple in pretty much everybody's wardrobe and so here are some of my favourite denim pieces for spring. Even though denim is always a reoccurring trend, it's a bigger and better for spring/summer this year - whether you like minimalist or more retro styles, the styling options are literally endless!
 
Monki's selection of denim at the moment is on point and my wardrobe is crying out for this gorge shirt. I've been wanting a denim shirt for a while and this is the perfect one, I love how minimalist it is and I think it would look great with black ripped skinnies and chunky silver sandals or worn undone over a striped dress.
 
I also absolutely love this a-line skirt from Topshop, which is really similar to the one from Alexa Chung's collection for AG jeans. It's the perfect skirt for this season and would look really cute styled with an off the shoulder crop top and platform sandals for a 60s/70s vibe.
 
Which is your favourite piece? How would you style denim pieces for spring?

ASOS Project - Stylists and Final Look


ASOS have a team of stylists who offer style advice for customers one to one on asos.com as well as on twitter. They also provide inspiration with daily ootd's on instagram, the latest trends on pinterest and styling videos on asos' youtube channel.
 
Each stylist is unique and would all style my trousers differently, for example Megan who likes to mix 60's and 70's would probably pair my trousers with an off the shoulder top/crop top, chunky boots/platforms and fur jacket. Whereas Isabella would most likely style my trousers with a minimalist duster coat and barely there strappy heels.
 
Here's my final styling board for holiday wear:

ASOS Project - Making Process Photos








 Here are a few photos of the making process of my final garment, from toile to samples to making my trousers. The toile didn't look exactly how I wanted so I chose to use organza fabric for my trousers instead because I wanted the side panels to be completely sheer underneath the applique circles. My final trousers took longer to make than I thought but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. See photos with the finished trousers in my next post.
