‘The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.’Maureen Dowd
Hi guys,New day, new week… expect an abundance of fulfilled expectations.Who woke up super charged up for this week? I know I did…right before the reality of Lagos morning traffic set in.
This is going to be a rather quick outfit post, I think I’m sleep-deprived at the moment plus I might have overdosed on coffee in a bid to stay awake this morning so I apologize in advance for the absence of my usual repertoire of good-natured banter.
My scandalous love affair with the color ‘black’ is still going strong and I decided to indulge myself in a rarity, one I'm currently quite enjoying - the color 'white'. I was always okay with white as a color but lately it seems I'm a lot more partial to it.
I paired this white chiffon top with a white-black rose print pleated skirt I recently purchased mostly to indulge my current desire to feel and look 'girl-ie' which is a word that I've never really liked being identified with. But here I am with my latest attempt at being a 'babe' in heels with a purse and some attitude.
I opted for a pop of color hence my royal blue pointy toe stilettos paired with aviators and my oatmeal coloured rose quilted shoulder bag for some extra oomph. I kept the accessories minimal with studs and a single strand gold chain-link necklace and as it turns out I've been all about that minimalist life as indicated by my signature neutral makeup look...let's hope I don't forget how to do makeup entirely cos then my friends will gladly disown me as the odd member of the team.
So guys there you have it - my latest attempt at playing dress up, hope you guys approve. I was too busy over the weekend to take my braids down so they shall be spending one last week with me before I say my goodbyes, already throwing around ideas in my head for the next hair-do.
