Metallics: The Ankara Jumpsuit

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all doing amazingly well. Today I'm posting on a fashion item that has become a staple in every wardrobe; the jumpsuit. Jumpsuits have been around for ages, coming in and out of fashion, but over the last five years it has grown in popularity. This I guess is due to the fact that the jumpsuit now comes in various styles, and can be casual or dressy. A jumpsuit is rather effortless, and is a great alternative to a dress. The most important thing when picking a jumpsuit is the fit; it has to be perfect. An ill-fitting jumpsuit can highlight unsightly bulges and imperfections.

I decided to make a tailored, tribal print jumpsuit that can either be worn casually or dressed up with the right accessories. This is the first time I have made one for myself and I think it turned out great. I used a print that wasn't too loud so as not to overwhelm the eyes. The shoulders are embellished with metallic stones and rhinestones that blend with the print. I accessorized with bracelets similar in colour to the shoulder embellishments, an elastic belt with a metallic plate on the waist and black shoe boots with metallic details. The accessories all have a metallic theme to them and the belt puts emphasis on the waist. My earrings are a long, layered gold loop (keeping the metallic theme) on one ear and a stud on the other ear; this adds an edge to the outfit and is accentuated by my hair style.

To style the jumpsuit in a casual way, you could wear flat strappy sandals or ballet pumps , remove the belt, and wear a simpler pair of earrings.

...Be fashion wise

Hello dearies

My apologies for the long hiatus but I'm back and ready with new content that is guaranteed to inspire you.

Today's outfit is a mixture of textures and colours that I wouldn't have thought to combine ordinarily. I made this oufit from peach guipure lace and orange tribal print ankara. The skirt is a combination of two styles in vogue; the dip hem and the full flares. It also has a tie-bow behind. Full, voluminous skirts are flattering to most silhouettes and can be dressed up or down.

The top has been tucked in to show off the details of the skirt. It balances out the volume of the skirt and adds a touch of feminism. The v-neck on the top allows for accessorizing with chunky neck pieces. In this case, I have gone for a red beaded necklace which balances the entire look, but provides a bit of contrast when combined with the royal blue shoes.

This looks works for a number of occasions and each piece can be mixed with other pieces to suit whatever occasion.
