Emerald Green Scuba Skirt

Hey beautiful people!

So I'm really excited about todays outfit post, because features this fabulous emerald green scuba skirt which my bff got me for my birthday! The volume and drama of this skirt is everythang!!!! It's definitely one of those pieces every girl should own in their wardrobe! The day I wore this, and my mom saw me, she kept complimenting me on how beautiful I looked! And not that my mom doesn't compliment me, but the way she was raving on about it, I knew she loved it! lol

So, I paired the skirt with an off-white shirt, with the ruffled detailing which I've had in my closet for many years! Its so unique! For my shoes I wore my new white strappy sandals from Betts and added my clear perspex clutch which i got for $10 bucks!

This ensemble had me feeling very Carrie Bradshaw 'Sex in the City!' Loved it!

OUTFIT: Ruffled Top: Old piece from my wardrobe || Shirt: Choies (here) || Shoes: Betts || Clutch: TEMT (similar here)

High Waisted Ankara Skirt #take2

Hey beautiful people,

So this outfit here was simply me re-styling one of my favourite ankara skirts, which my seamstress made for me in Ghana on my last trip.

The print is so fun and vibrant, so I decided to pair it with this taupe and pastel blue, collared, open back, sleeveless shirt. I've been wanting to style this shirt for about a year now, but everytime I picked it up and tried to pair it with something, I'd give up! I didn't like how it looked with pants, but it was too short to wear as a shirt dress.

But it worked perfectly with this skirt, because once I tucked it in, it hid all the excess fabric of the shirt underneath the skirt. I added this thick black belt with the gold hardware in the middle to break up the two pieces and also cinch in my waist, and I paired it up with these open toe taupe and snakeskin heels. For my accessories I decided on my gold collar necklace, my HTW beads and a small black purse. MACs 'Girl About Town' added the perfect pop of color on my lips!
