Monday

Hello dolls, I bet you all have been doing great. It's been a minute, I know, but you'll understand why in a bit. I'm particularly excited about the series of posts that will be featured daily on this blog for the next week. I have tagged it "Monday to Sunday"; a style inspiration series best suited for the working-class woman of style. Although not every outfit or styling is universally suitable for every work environments, you can incorporate some of the pieces in the dress code permitted by your particular work environment. 

So for the first post; "Monday", we paired a polka dot buttoned-down shirt with puffy sleeves and a monochrome stripped midi skirt. This is a print on print combination that works for a number of reasons. Firstly, while the top has white dots on a black background, the colours are reversed on the skirt (black stripes on a white background). Secondly, the polka dots are small while the stripes are bolder giving the whole outfit a visual balance. Finally, black and white are such classic colours that they hardly go wrong combined.

The black shoes are an ideal complement to the outfit as the cuffs are perfectly positioned to show off the legs under the midi skirt while the red bag adds a pop of colour that ties the whole outfit together.

There will definitely be no Monday blues with this outfit.

Slip It On

Hi everyone

I hope your week has started out productive and you are working at achieving your goals. Permit me to quickly appreciate everyone who has ordered some of the outfits posted here. The response has been awesome, God bless you all.

Back to today's post, I got this print fabric from the store simply because I didn't own anything like it in my wardrobe. It has a silky look and feel, and I was going to sew a loose-fit dress until I got to the cutting table and realized the fabric stretches. Perfect excuse to make a body-con dress with no lining or zipper! Just something you can easily slip into and out of. It's a pretty simple outfit with a low back and cut-out details at the sleeves. I wore this chunky necklace to dress it up a little for church. Thanks for stopping by again,enjoy the rest of your week.

Style Tutorial from the Golden Globes

 By Gbenga 'Artsmith' Dada    

An access to the red carpet images from the recently held Golden Globes is like an all expense paid trip to fashion heaven. Attendees of the annual film award ceremony/fashion parade came in with a clear ambition to kill- with their stunning appearances. They also, in a roundabout way, gave style tutorials for the benefit of fashion buffs. Here are a few of the style tutors:

Lupita Nyong'o

This dark-skinned rave of the moment "ministered" life in her fiery red Calvin Klein number. Off-shoulder dresses are just perfect for women with svelte figures like Lupita- hey! big-bodied women too can rock off-shoulder clothes; but if you must wear them, make sure the collar is taut around your shoulder so you don't reveal too much of meaty flesh and/or stretch marks. Also, notice how Lupita coordinated this look; she's not piling on jewelry (which would have clashed with the vividness of the supreme red dress). Lupita finally nailed it with the floor-sweeping cape...vie gorgeousse (pardon my french please...at least you read the word gorgeous! Lol). Her dress is not too much or too less- know what I mean?

Kerry Washington

How many times do you see a 'preggo' lady looking so hot she could give the sun a tan? Once? Never? Kerry was everybody's sweetheart on the red carpet. She proved that simplicity (and a baby bump) can be sexy, if you know how to pull it off. Her laidback, but elegant look is one to emulate.

Zooey Deschanel

This lady deftly combined girl-next-door with Prom queen in just one outfit. Who would have thought cropped blouse over a billowing tulle skirt could look so good for a black-tie event. The choice of fabric for Zooey's ensemble did the magic big time: it gave the edgy ensemble a sophisticated air that caught positive attention. It's very ok to be adventurous with your style on the red carpet.

Uma Thurman

The "Kill Bill" star gave darkness a mysterious beauty that only a dress like hers can give. The fit of  her embellished "Atelier Versace" attire is to die for. The dress hugged her body in all the right places and also tickles one's imagination (she's not flashing flesh excessively, making her look modestly covered up and hot at the same time). Over-the-top exposure really passes less than savoury signals, dolls. Uma sure led the pack among the "black angels" on the red carpet that night.

Sandra Bullock

Oh dear! Did Sandra look fabulous? She literally took a dive into a color palette and came out looking drop-dead...(read my lips)...drop-dead fantastic! This is how to cohesively match colors without taking the risk of looking like the latest hireling on a clown show! Sandra definitely brought in her fashion A-game at Golden Globes. Good job girl!

These stars are just random picks among the best-dressed stars at Golden Globes. Who else do you think deserves to be on the list?

My First Love...

Hey hunnies, I bet you've all had a wonderful weekend. It is now common knowledge that I love teal. Teal is the first color I fell in love with at the start of my journey into fashion. Every time I see a fabric in teal, I can hardly walk away from it. And so was the case when I bought this teal fabric. I love its shine. I made this three-quarter maxi skirt with side pockets and paired it with a velvet top with drapes behind. I sewed the top years ago.

My brother made me this clear white necklace (free of charge I guess, because he still hasn't asked me to pay ;)) ). After months of staring at these shoes in my wardrobe, they were put to good use with this skirt.

I found the mixture of two vibrant hues very exciting.

Wedding Reception Dress in Neon Pink

Hey dolls, firstly let me apologize for not posting on the blog for weeks. I needed a break to source content to make this blog a better one and one of the best out there. No more stalling by God's grace.

I bet 2013 ended beautifully for you all and you've begun the journey into 2014 in grand style. I pray this year turns out to be the best you ever had and that you laugh last by God's grace and mercy.

I made this outfit for the annual New Year thanksgiving service in church and I remember three people ordering this exact dress before service even started. I told my mum while at home and prior to the service that I intentionally made the dress look like a bride's wedding reception outfit. It was a prophetic action :)

I hope you enjoy this post, thanks for stopping by.
