Blue reign...

Good good morning beautiful people! Happy new month aswel! I hope you had a smashing weekend? Mine was quite chilled....this is a real quick post to give your monday morning an amazing zoom! Hope it does...

You know I love to keep Mondays quite corporate but yet chic for a smashing work look! This is how it played out this monday....

Am pretty sure by now you know am a color junkie, I found the black on the jacket quite dull so I decided to give the outfit a kick with the blue skirt. Wore an animal print peplum jacket and a black ankled court heels to matte with the jacket. 

Retro Chick...

Hey sweets! Sure the weekend excitement has kicked in! Was super itchy to share this post just for the love of retro. There is something about retro styles that i find very fresh and just heart warming.

You might wonder why I find this outfit related to retro style. I think the lumberjack shirt can be associated with the 80's. how I love my color red! The beautiful red color on the shirt gave a very distinct contrast on the acid wash denim pencil skirt. The chic aspect of this ensemble is the midi length of this denim skirt which is quite an unusual cut for denim skirts....{ok I need to stop ranting about the retro chic...lol}. I had been longing for an occasion that would make me try something quite vintage yet modern as I am usually in my "girly girly" mode; then I got invited to an outdoor wine tasting gathering. I smiled my worries away just by the thought of this outfit. 

Polka meets Stripe...

Hey lovelies! Am hoping everyone had a great start to the week? Well, mine has started off quite hectic but composing this post leaves me with a kick of excitement.

Today's post is breaking that old fashion rule that says "...two or more prints should be avoided or can't be worn together". I think if one selects whatever kind of print carefully they end up looking cute and playful. One has to be very mindful of mixing prints appropriately considering the colors on the prints. 

My attraction to this outfit was the midi fit of the skirt and the pretty colorful polka dot on the top. Midi skirts are certainly classy and goes a long way in giving a conservative look. Moreover midi skirts can be versatile for occasions. It can be worn to dinners, work , hangouts ,etc depending on how it's rocked. On this occasion, I wore it to an informal meeting. 

Jogger Flow...

I know we all love weekends! The parties, hangouts, weddings, food, etc is enough reason to get excited! Lol. ....surely wont forget to say hey to my sweeties. Today's outfit is a little different from my usual "girly" look. I think I went a bit outside my comfort zone so do let me know if its a safe zone or not.

why I think it's outside my comfort zone is the jogger pants which is usually more associated with a male look. I am really not that type that tries the male look often but decided to give this a go because that is all what fashion is about; trying new stuff, mixing & matching, color play, etc. After my love at first sight for this female version jogger, the fabric just escalated my love even more! It's made out of rich polyester which gives it such a gorgeous fit all round even to the firm cuffs by the ankle.  My instinct told me straight away it would be a take home after visiting the fitting room, and I couldn't help but imagine rocking them on a chilled day with the girls at a bar/lounge sipping on our cocktails {lol}. 

Pairing this look got me thinking "yewande! give it a simple go, you know guys always love to keep it simple" {lol!}. I decided to act on my thought and slipped on a plain white crop top. I worked with the color of the pants in ascertaining my choice of shoes and bag. The tan color of the pant is a good match to the leopard print and gives a nice flow.
