THAT’S NOT THE DOUBLE DENIM WAY.
Ah yes, The good ol denim skirt! Yet another 90’s fashion trend that resurfaced and we all took to in full force, with most people going the double denim route.
I, myself have gone the double denim route previously
here and
here.
In fact, the only reason I bought the skirt was because I was trying to channel the
Shala Monroque double denim inspired look sometime back the 2013.
Another way to style the denim skirt, that’s not the double denim way! Click to tweet.
Back then, I couldn’t for the life of me think of any other way to style the skirt without looking “bleh” , especially one of this length and fit which can easily come off as “rigid” (for lack of a better word).
Thankfully, now I’ve embraced the different ways it can be worn – and I even styled it differently in
this post too!
What’s the first “way to wear” that comes to your head when you think of a denim skirt. I asked my friend and she said her first thought will be to pair it with a white shirt. How about you? How would you style a denim skirt?
I wore this to the ESE x Stranger Lagos event one weekend ago. I was initially going to pair the skirt with a different print shirt and heels, but this shirt seemed way more suited because of the way the colours just pop!
These pictures were taken impromptu, or I would have come prepared with my heels in my bag and maybe the second shirt also to do a “which works better” type post. But I happened on Chidi of Lex Ash photography (He took the pictures in
this post and
this one) at the event and immediately started stressing him out to help me. No Shame!
I decided on sneakers in exchange for sandals, just to add a little extra oomph to the whole look.
What do you think of this look?
Should I still shoot the previous look and share in another post?
I’ve been carrying my hair in this two braids style since I took out the last one, and I’m having problems deciding on which new style to go for – crochet braids or the pixie cut. Help me decide please?
Meanwhile, why is crochet braids so expensive if it’s so easy to make?!
This ’90s Denim Trend Is Making a Comeback—Will You Try It? Click to tweet!
I’ve been so lazy this past week! I think there might have been a reason God decided to make me come from a middle class family, because if I were a trust fund baby girl, I probably will just be taking life easy. Lol! but then I doubt, I really love to explore my creative side and it would just make it easier for me to do that.
These days with the whole turning passion into profit thing (gatts), it sort of puts a lot of pressure on and can take the fun out of the work. Regardless though, I have to keep putting in work to create the future I want.
I really want to resurrect my street style column but I keep spending more and more of my life holed up indoors *sigh*. I’m trying to make a more conscious effort to go out more. I basically spent all weekend indoors, so no weekend bits post this week.
How did your weekend go though?
Leave me your thoughts and comments pleassee. As always, let’s connect!

This top screams retro vintage! Girl go out and do your thing because you are good at what you do. Challenge yourself when you can and resurrect your street style column. I have been trying out streetstyle shots and in a busy city like Manchester its pretty difficult because there are so many people walking past me and staring. Kinda getting used to it now.

I totally should! My problem is logging my camera around – so stressful! Lol
Thanks alot Staph.
I've actually never owned a denim skirt and I should get one! I used to be such a tank top and jeans person, but making conscious efforts to diversify my wardrobe. I think I prefer it with the sneakers as well. Lol! We all wish we were trust fund babies. Xx

You should!! Thanks girl
Love! Love![The outfit and photos]
I've been thinking the same thing about Crotchet braids being expensive. I don't understand.
Thank God I learned to do it myself! You should too. Its pretty easy.
Hey kunmi girl! Long time, how's it going?
I hear it's easy oh, lots of people have even sent me tutorial links but I just don't have the energy. Lol
I have a very similar skirt that I plan to shoot next week.
Crotchet braids are expensive but I'm sure one of these salon brands will be willing to partner with you & style your hair for free if you approach them properly.

Hmmmm. That's an idea, now I have to figure out these salon brands. Thanks!
Meanwhile, you didn't answer the question sha – so how do you plan on styling yours?
You style bloggers are going to influence a girl to buy a jeans skirt (yes I said jeans lol) but so far, I refuse!
I'd like to see you in a pixie cut. I think it'd be better. Simple hair seems more your style, and crochet can be heavy. Pretty sure the crochet would suit you too, either way!

Love your vintage shirt. I would style my denim skirt with a crop top or a white shirt too. I think you should try pixie would look good on you.

I dont have a denim skirt; might just get one too.
Please go pixie cut dear; would love to see it on you. Stay Blessed dear
Hmmm. How would I style a denim skirt? I would wait for fall/autumn and wear it with a sweater and knee high boots.

Pixie cut Cassie, honestly I would love to see it on you. The price of crochet braid differs based on the brand. Nice outfit btw
Not digging the vintage shirt with the denim skirt. Would prefer a sweat shirt with the denim skirt and the sneakers with a fedora hat.
I'm not sure I would be able to rock a skirt like that. I wear my denim skirt at home and not for outings. But you rock it so well, Cassie!
The story behind my natural hair
Pixie cut would be cool on you.. Crochet being pricey i can relate to, the key to it is getting your crochet weave and paying for only labour. Cost has been cut down a bit.. Crochet hair weave brands matters naomi boom is ok price wise just big in terms of size but not heavy 2 and half should be perfect for you though you would still buy 3packs.. I love the denim look, now i have to look for mine.. Sneakers totally oofs it cool..

Pixie cut! I've always wondered how it would look on you. The pictures are soo nice. And this shirt is definitely a better choice with the skirt.

You look amazing, you really do! I wanted a similar skirt but I was so undecided about it. You just convinced me!
I like the sneakers with the skirt. Not so sure about the shirt because of all the colours. I don't go out much too but hopefully during the holidays, that will change.
