Jeans + Dotted Skirt+ Wooden Platforms

Every woman should have something dotted in their closets. And that's all I'm saying about that.

Black and Yellow

My love for dresses is and has never been a secret. That's one of the reasons I love summertime. Anyway this dress is one of my favorites; its yellow and its got pockets.
Nuff said.

Happy Weekend!

Enjoy it!

New Beginnings

Okkaaayyy!!! I'm back you guys!!!

Welcome to *insert drumroll* MISSION51, formerly known as Africana Wardrobe Diary; MISSION 51 is the new home to my outfits, pretty pictures and a ton of my other favorite things.

After my extra long hiatus, i'm finally back with a new blog name, a new look for the blog, outfit pics and a few other tricks up my sleeve. Stay tuned for more...
Button-downs have always been a favorite around these parts and that hasn't changed. And I'm really, really digging Mint Green things especially this blouse.

While the sun still shines

These pictures were taken a while back, when it was still warm enough to leave home without a jacket.

Hope you guys had a fantastic weekend!

Cooler

I can't but be excited that fall is finally here. I bought this dress in Chicago, and while i could have definitely worn it earlier, i wanted to wait till it got a little cooler to wear it.

A little Sparkle

Just another day. Decked out in sequins and shorts, trying to soak up the warmth in the sun, before it gives way to the chill of fall.

It doesn't get any simpler than this

A simple black and white outfit is my favorite combo to put together. Its also my go-to combo for when i'm in a rush and very low on time. You can't go wrong with an outfit this simple for school. Its perfect for running around campus and meetings all day. As you can see, despite my big talk of wearing just black and white, i couldn't resist wearing my berry pink scarf.

Almost Done

Vividly colorful blouses still make my heart sing, that's nothing new. I've accumulated so many colorful blouses that its not even funny anymore. I'm surprised that these shoes haven't appeared on the blog before now. It was in heavy rotation this spring and a few times this summer. I figured i'd wear them out for one last hoorah before i have to trade them in for knee high boots.

A little change goes a long way

Along with the new school semester that comes with august, each year without fail, i start to crave some changes. Like a bit of cooler weather, and even a new hairstyle. So, i came up with a 2-step plan.
Step 1: change hair: DONE!
Step 2: Infuse "fall" into my outfits: DONE!!! i've started to sneak a little layering into my outfits.

Playing Dress-up

Hello my lovelies!!!

I hope you guys had a fantastic weekend. I went paintballing. And came up out with war wounds. And lots of soreness.
Here some pictures i took in chicago in the laundry room of the hotel on a bored rainy afternoon. Why? Cause i'm random like that.
Dress is a 70's vintage dress that i found and instantly loved because of the print. Y'all know i love flowers.

Top Secret

I wanted a change. So i changed my hair a bit by dusting off and donning my favorite wig. Its been a while. Another day,another rediscovered pair of shoes. I don't know why i stopped wearing these, they're actually mostly comfortable. Ideal for lite walking/standing. Also, i'm amidst reorganizing my closet for the fall weather to decide what i'm gonna need for the fast approaching coldness. What's on your must-have list for fall?
