Orange Crush

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.

From Sketch to Life

Hey lovelies, hope you all had a great weekend. Today's dress was designed for Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi, she wore it to a traditional wedding a few months ago. The sketch below was sent to her for approval after which the dress was made. It is a floor length, sleeveless gown made from raw silk and lace. The details on the neck, lower bodice and back were achieved through the patterns on the edges of the lace. The silk and lace are gold in colour because that was one of the wedding colours. 

Funlola wore the dress as a traditional outfit, paired with a fuchsia 'gele' and gold accessories. It could also be worn as a formal dress to either a white wedding or some other formal event like I did when I made a replica for myself.

My Sunday look - The Bodycon

Hello dearies, today's post is following in theme of days of the week; here's my Sunday look. It's a midi textured jersey bodycon dress in nude. It's got a draped back that turns this simple dress into a glamorous one. 

A bodycon dress fits like a second skin; it's meant to hold the body together avoiding jiggly bits. In order to achieve this completely you need the right kind of underwear; Spanx® are a good way to go.  Be cautious when buying these underwear as they are not meant to be tight to the point of being uncomfortable. Bodycon dresses are usually mini, knee length or midi lengths although a few flow all the way to the floor. Whatever you wear with the bodycon, make sure it doesn't overshadow the dress and draw attention away from your curves. Bodycon dresses are suitable for anytime of the day, just ensure you match with appropriate accessories for that time of the day and the event. They can be paired with stilettos, ballet flats and even boots.

P.S: Show off your curves but keep it classy!

My dress has been accesorised with a neon pink hatinator, black shoes and a black clutch with multicolored gem stone. A pop of colour always brings a glam factor to neutral hues and that's what the hatinator achieves in this outfit.

 

I made this same dress for a client which she wore for her marriage at the registry. This version is red and made from a lace fabric. Like I mentioned earlier the right accessories make a bodycon dress fit for any occasion.

Saturday

Hello darlings, I decided to take a breather from the daily style inspiration posts. I hope you enjoyed viewing the series as much as I enjoyed putting it together :) . Today's post is a weekend follow up to the series. The outfit for this post is a bit on the dressy side but then most events on Saturday require glitz and glam.

This is a panel dress made from a combination of two sequined fabrics. Panel dresses are perfect for giving the illusion of curves and make you look slimmer (Not that I need any illusions ;;) !). This is especially true when the darker panels are on the sides like in this dress. The patterned fabric is a mixture of black and a nudish colour, and is placed at the centre of both the front and back of the dress. The dress is slightly off shoulder with a boat neckline and a single thigh high slit. This neckline can easily be accessorized by wearing a long pendant necklace or a collar necklace. I have chosen to accessorize differently by wearing dangling earrings and no necklace; this is because the dress is bright and sparkly and doesn't need to be accentuated by several pieces of jewelry. 

The outfit is completed with nude peep toe shoes and a black and gold finger ring clutch. Using a different texture (not sequins) for the accessories adds more dimension to the outfit.
