Monochrome with Pops of Red

Hey lovelies!
Hope you're all doing well! So this look here was all about the accents of red. I wore an off-white asymmetrical peplum top with a pinstripe pencil skirt. I decided to add splashes of red with my lip color, my belt and an ankara clutch, and I think it complemented the black and white very nicely!

The Cropped Blazer

Hey beautiful people! 
Its been a minute since my last blog post, but I'm back! 
So in this look here, I put together an all black ensemble with a pop of color, which was my mint green cropped blazer. I purchased it last winter, but this was actually the first time I wore it! I love the zip detail on it, because you can wear it as is, or unzip the bottom part to switch up the look! I added my pearl accessory pieces, and a beautiful pastel print ankara clutch which I bought from the Woodin store in Ghana. For my hair I've been rocking the half up, half down high bun like everyday and I've been loving it!
Check out my video on how I achieved this hairstyle here!

Anyway, on to the outfit pics below :-)

The Fully Midi Skirt #restyled

Hey lovelies!
Just a quick outfit post showing how I restyled my black full midi skirt from www.choies.com
This time, I paired it up with a jacquard and leather dress, which I decided to wear as a top. I love the print on the dress, and also the leather back detail... it really complimented the skirt! For my shoes, I wore my one of my favourite old pairs from Scooter and decided on no accessories.

Animal Print & Metallics

Hey guys,
I've got something a little different for you in this post... a casual outfit! Yes! I know!! lol. I wore this to accompany my bother as he went shopping at his favourite store... the PUMA store! 
Actually this is how I mostly dress during the week...comfortable, but still try and keep it chic and cute. 
So I created this look around the metallic brogues that my bff got me for my birthday. I love menswear inspired pieces, especially brogues and oxfords...throw on a blazer and thats usually me Monday to Friday. I decided to pair the shoes with my new favourite skinny jeans and a leopard print shirt. Threw on a fedora, some gold chains and my tortoise shell sunglasses, and it pretty much completed the look.
