The Little White Dress

Hello dearies,

Today's post is all about making outfits versatile. I recently went through my wardrobe and discovered I had quite a number of short dresses I hadn't worn in years. The reason for their lack of use I guess would be length (makes me wonder why I bought or sewed them in the first place, *:-?). Most of these dresses were only appropriate for nights out/evening events which I really don't attend much of. Anyway, I found it hard to part with them so I started thinking of how to re-purpose them for other events such as church, work, meetings and lunches.


One of such dresses is the little white piece I'm wearing in this post which I made a while back. I have simply transitioned it from one mode to the other by wearing a blue high-waisted pencil skirt over it and matching with appropriate accessories. I have basically taken the same item of clothing from a daytime look to an evening one. How's that for recycling your wardrobe!

Bridesmaids Inspiration: Grey

Hi dears,

Today's post features a grey floor length dress that can be worn by bridesmaids or the bride as a reception dress. I made it from stretchy silk satin and lace, using the lace patterns to create the details in the front and cover the satin on the sleeves. The dress is form fitting and then flows into a mermaid style with a tail behind. The dress sleeves are off-shoulder cap sleeves which allows for bold neck accessories.

The Pajamas

Hello Lovelies, 

This post is about a trend I coined in my head one afternoon. It was inspired by people who get up from bed and walk out of the house, onto the streets with their pajamas and how undesirable the sight usually is. So here's a typical 'I-woke-up-like-this' situation but in a fashionable way. I'm also going to share a few tips for rocking this look. 

• Silk fabrics are best suited for this look as they depict typical pajamas. 
• Make sure it's a slightly loose fit so you will be as comfortable as possible just like most pajamas are. 
• Use minimal makeup and accessories since nobody goes to bed with either anyway. 
• I chose a Kimono wrap top in similarity to a bathrobe. 
• An up-do wrapped into a cute doughnut style is a great choice hairstyle for this look. 
• The last and most important thing that completes this look and takes it from 'bedroom-mode' to 'catwalk-mode' are a pair of heels. I chose a strappy holographic heels for this look. A small clutch purse will come in handy(am sure you need to take some makeup in it for touch-ups).

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.
