Like A Ballerina

This is an older outfit that i didn't get a chance to post. I'm in my fave sneakers and tutu-skirt and i spent the whole day at school. The upside, the library doesn't get crowded so whenever i was out of sight, i twirled. Blame it on the skirt. Seriously




Hoodie- Max Rave, Tank-Target, Skirt-F21, Sneakers- Converse

Understated

This is an outfit from last week. I got a bit swamped with school work and my crazy schedule and did not get a chance to post it. At a quick glance, it looks like a dress, but its actually a tunic top worn over a hiked skirt. Plus,it gives my necklace a chance to shine.
The top is a few sizes too big, but i couldn't pass up the chance to quietly show off my money makers: My shoulders. Very subtle.







Top- Mai Tai, skirt- thrifted, jacket-f21, Shoes-Joey O

Beads and Sequins

I think the title of this post pretty much sums up my outfit for today. I bought this dress to the chagrine of my younger sister who believed that this dress was too extravagant to be worn anywhere. But i caught a glimpse of the dress and fell in love. The meticulous beading, the extravagant sequins, in theory make quite an excessive combination and usually i would run from such a combo, but since i'm blinded by love this dress is absolutely fabulous .To tone down the glitzyness of this dress, being that i am going to work, i kept my accesories to a minimum and wore dark colors too.
I'm off to work for a bit, then i get to leave early (yay!) and go frolicking w/ my siblings.

What i wore:
Beret ( "borrowed" from the Manfriend)
Dress (Vintage)
Tights (Target)
Sweater (Proenza Schouler)
Shoes (Bakers)

Silver Shoes Are Not Just For Evening!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Can i again say how hard it is to look cute and warm at the same time? Its quite challenging for me because most of my wardrobe, consists of dresses and skirts but that's not going to stop me from trying. On days when i have to put my legs away (which sucks because i love my runner gams and relish showing them off) i need some sort of pizzaz to look at when i look down at my feet.

Hence the silver shoes!

Okay, just so you all know, i love sparkly things, almost as much as i love color. I mean, i love the basic blacks and whites, but colors and a bit of sparkle make my heart flutter.. And especially in the daytime. I was never a fan of the notion of saving glitzy shoes and dresses only for night time. All that means, at least for me, was that fun pieces (like these shoes) have to sit and wait in its shoebox for a chance to shine.

But not today!

This is what i wore:
Shirt (Macys)
Pants(Macys)
Shoes (DSW)
Hat (H&M)
Coat and Sweater ( F21)

Green And White

I have a very sad and embarassing confession to make.
I hope my readers are not to disappointed but.... I forgot about the Nigerian Independence day...until today. (*i'm bowing my head in shame*)
The really bad thing is, it was over a month ago...on October 1st. How could i not have realized that my country of origin turned 48 and i missed it, and didn't even realize it till a month later. Bad, Bad, Bad!
But I say better late than never.
**Happy Birthday Nigeria!!!**
This is for you!!
This is what i wore:
Sweater (Isaac Mizrahi)
Necklace (Target)
Jeans (Express)
Gold Bracelet (F21)
Beaded Bracelet (Made for me by the manfriend...it never leaves my wrist)

Official Last day of Warm Weather

According to the weather woman this morning, today is the last day of warmth for the year. As in come tomorrow, we are going to have to wear sweaters, and bundle up from now on. At last, the anticipated fall weather will arrive. What did that mean to me? I interpreted it to mean that i was to wear my little bitty skirt at least once more this year, before having to give it up for the fall and winter. Ok probably not, i'll most likely just wear it w/ tights when it gets cooler. i have this weird thing for most things short...This is what i wore for school today:
Shirt(Macys)
Skirt (Max Rave)
Ankle Boots(Worn w/ black socks)-Shoe Land.
