How to Wear Double Denim this Summer

So how do you spice up double denim?

Double denim, the Canadian tuxedo, whatever you want to call it – it’s been around for ages! It’s a classic combo that never fails you but how do you take that go-to look to the next level? Here at TSS, a part of my mission is to inspire you to try something new and embrace fashion as a way of expression. I think one way of doing this, is taking something classic and adding a touch of personality to it. That is exactly what I did with the double denim trend. I didn’t just want it to be a regular denim jacket and a denim mini. Instead, I opted for embellished denim.

This jacket has to be one of my most favourite purchases recently. I fell in love with it when I saw the embroidery at the back! (Very Gucci right?) I loved that it even had adorable embroidery on the front hat said “Oui Oui”. All in all, this embroidered denim jacket from Joie stole my heart. To really elevate the look, I paired it with my favourite denim mini of the moment from Topshop. I love the racer stripes down the sides. They really give the look a sporty feel!

What do you think of my take on the classic?

3 Stylish Ways To Wear Gingham Now: Part Two

There’s no beating a classic Gingham look…

We all know that a key fashion trend for spring summer 2017 is gingham. That’s why I created this series on three ways to wear summer’s favourite pattern! In part one, we tackled the gingham pants. Today, in part two, I’m all about the gingham skirt and adding colour to your street style outfit. Classically, gingham is blue and white and we tend to match it with similar colours. For today’s look, I wanted to add some bold contrasts with colour. I loved creating an all blue base with my blue oversized sweater (it’s a sweater I stole from his closet!) and my blue skirt. To create the colour contrast I added this red leather jacket from Deme by Gabriella. It’s a current favourite of mine because of the colour! One of my favourite parts about this particular gingham skirt is the ruffle on it! The ruffle adds femininity and elegance, so pairing it with an edgy jacket and sneakers creates the perfect balance. Plus, with ruffles being another trend for spring/summer, this skirt is a two in one! I hope you guys like this second look and I can’t wait to share part three of the series with you!

How to Wear Sequins in the Day

Sequins in the day, glam all day…

Wearing sequins in the day is one of those things that has always seemed like a bit of a challenge. You don’t want to come across as OTT (God forbid!) but you also want to rock that new sequins skirt/bomber jacket! Don’t worry, I understand where you’re coming from. I was in a similar predicament and decided that my birthday was the best day for trial and error. After all, no one can tell you you’re being OTT on your birthday. The good news? I have figured out how to wear sequins in the day and still look effortless and elegant. The great news? I’ve compiled a list of tips for you to do the same! 1. If you’re going for sequins, make sure that the rest of your outfit is subtle and neutral. Pair your sequins with neutral colours like black and white. This makes sure that your outfit is not overwhelming. I paired my look with black and white to let me sequins bomber stand out! 2. Stick to a colour palette for accessories! Although my tee shirt and pants were black and white, I wasn’t afraid to add some colour to the outfit through my bag! Since my jacket was green, I stuck to the same colour family with my bag and managed to make it match perfectly. 3. Be confident! It might feel like all eyes are on you, but remember fashion is for you, and you should feel great in what you wear!Shine as bright as your sequins piece and don’t let anyone dull your sparkle – you look fab so you should feel it too!

3 Stylish Ways To Wear Gingham Now: Part One

Gingham, your new spring & summer pattern.

Believe it or not, gingham is here to stay. This new favourite pattern for spring and summer has made it’s way far past your picnic table and right into your closet! Now I thought to myself, why share one outfit, when I can show you how to style gingham in three different ways! Introducing, (drum roll please!) my very new three part series, showing you three different takes on how to wear gingham now! To kick it off, I’m starting with one of my favourite looks of the past few weeks, where I styled a brand new pair of gingham pants. The tricky aspect of gingham outfits is being able to make the pattern work for you while maintaining a sense of elegance (after all, we do commonly use this pattern for a picnic…) and my three part series is here to show you how to do just that!

For this outfit, I wanted my gingham chef pants to look and feel elevated, so I decided to add a dash of colour! Although mixing colours and patterns can seem intimidating, when you opt for something subtle and feminine like this baby pink I’m wearing, the colours create a bold yet elegant feel! I love the way the feminine knit with it’s tie up details contrast the pants. Of course, there is no ignoring my brand new Dior bag. It was a birthday present and I am yet to find an outfit that this bag does not match (or make better! It literally makes everything better) I hope this provides you with another dose of fresh April outfit ideas and stay tuned for the next part of my how to style gingham series!

How To Wear Pink this Spring

Everyone’s favourite colour right now, Pink.

There is no denying that I love the colour Pink. I even have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to the colour. Of course, wearing pink on a regular basis and looking chic and refined can seem like a challenge but I’m here to show you how to wear pink, the street style way. Although the spring sunshine is here, it can still be a little bit chilly and as much as I want to shed all my layers and slip into summer dresses, we still need a couple to get us through the day. With that being said, I like to inject some fun into them with only the coolest colour right now, Pink Duhhhh.

To battle the impression of looking like a Barbie doll, I opted for some darker shades of pink mixed together. The subtle shades complement each other without overwhelming the look. To balance this all pink look, I added some touches of beige and black with my shoes and one of my favourite new bags. I was lucky enough to grab the last bag in this style and I have been attached to it ever since. I find that the tassels on it are perfect for summer!

So, this is how I wear pink right now, is this how you would wear it too?
