MyStyleMirror | Come As You Are with Crocs Calling All Classics

If you thought Crocs were out of style, maybe you should have a re-think as they’ve resurfaced as a new trend (not like they went anywhere), and all of your favourite celebrities are already rocking it. While there are a couple of ways to wear Crocs, my current favourite would be with Jibbitzä as they’re not only stylish, they’re trendy and have an unique way of elevating one’s look. Jibbitz…

FAVORITE 2020 / 2021 FASHION TREND | LEATHER CLOTHING

FAVORITE 2020 / 2021 FASHION TREND | LEATHER CLOTHING

Just like every other fashion trend that gets recycled yearly, seasonally or quarterly, leather clothing is fast becoming one of such trends and a year-round staple as opposed to being associated with the cold weather months alone. Everyone has their own method for incorporating leather into a look, and I particularly love how it can be paired with almost anything – from a leather bag, leather…

TOURIST IN MY CITY | A VISIT TO FAIRACRES LAGOS, NIGERIA

If you're looking for a recreational spot to relax and spend time with friends and family, one that doesn't involve going to the beach or restaurant hoping, then FairAcres is where you should go.

A known fact in Lagos is how overwhelming the city gets atimes, which is only right we create time to shutdown the noise, unwind and give yourself a little self-care time. This was totally not the idea when I decided to join a friend on a content creation spree at FairAcres but it turned out to be one of the best weekends I’ve had this year. Therefore, I’m here to share this beautiful spot with…

FASHION STAPLES TO TRANSITION YOUR WARDROBE

5 WARDROBE STAPLES TO TRANSITION YOUR WARDROBE

This is a guide to help you shop / incorporate essential and versatile pieces into your wardrobe. You can opt in for different colors or styles as desired.

Working in two different sectors and being placed in a position to wear only black or white has disciplined me against impulsive buying of clothes and that’s part of my inspiration for this post.

Anywho, let’s get into all the good stuff!

3 THINGS I’M ADOPTING FOR A PRODUCTIVE YEAR

Staying productive

It feels good to be finally writing / posting on the blog. I’ve missed this part of me and I’m so glad to be back here. On that note, happy new year!

2019 for me was a year of learning, unlearning and growth. I was basically just living and moving with the flow of things. From getting a certificate in digital marketing to finishing National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and…

mon·o·chrome

1. A picture, especially a painting, done in different shades of a single color.

2. The state of being in a single color.

In as much as Monochromes are one of the easiest trend to style, a little mistake could mar your outfit. They require little or no efforts.

what I like about this fashion trend is the fact that you can wear a particular colour of jeans and blouse (or different shades of a particular colour) and still look amazing. This is because monochrome fashion has evolved from the regular black and white we are used to.

Creating a monochromatic look Head-to-toe color may sound overwhelming, but if you focus on a ready to go shade, it quickly becomes very wearable. Whether you go with army green, black, blue, etc. Ensure you find a shade that suits you.

In fact, you probably already have certain colors that you gravitate towards in your wardrobe, that can serve as a starting point. I chose an army green shade for a reason. I love how this colour blends with my skin tone and I see it as a rare shade.

    Outfit Details

T-shirt : @kemzytrane

Denim : Thrifted

Slippers : Zara Basic Collection (Thrifted)

Straw Bag : Lekki Arts and Craft Market

Different textures and accessories work well when styling monochrome. However, I decided to go for solids in this army green T-shirt and denim trousers, black Zara mules and a straw bag to complete my outfit.

One thing is for sure, when wearing a monochromatic look, all eyes will be on you, so make sure your styling is on point and you can’t miss.

    TIPS To Style

Mix and match the same colour of top and pants or mix and match different shades of a particular colour.

  Always style monochromes with a different colour of bag/purse and shoes. This creates a smooth blend of colours.

  Accessories give matching colors a sort of variety but it doesn’t necessarily have to be an exact match to your outfit. Stick to one or two matching accessories at most, anymore then that will be overkill

 A lot has happened since my last post here and in as much as I tried so hard to publish a post, the more I realized that most times, it is best to take some time off to think and really figure out what you want to do and develop a strategic plan on how to go about it.

From having anxiety about going for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp to falling ill 4days before said program and actually having one of the best experiences so far. It’s been one hell of a roller coaster, especially moving to Lagos. Believe me when I say “Lagos is not for the faint hearted”.

For someone who was born and bred in Port Harcourt, I find the lifestyle in Lagos difficult to adapt to. It’s been 6 months already and I’m gradually getting a hang of the city.

As cliche as this might sound, I want to take blogging seriously this year and create contents that I love. I’ll also like to know what type of contents you prefer or love to see from me. This is so that there’s a balance between what I like and what you my friend, resonate to on the blog.

I don’t think there’s ever a time tees and jeans will go out of style; at least not yet. I’ve been in situations where I couldn’t decide or choose what to wear out and a basic white tee and jeans would always come to the rescue.

It doesn’t have to be a white shirt to fit; as long as you feel comfortable in them.

Tees and jeans are simple but yet, classy outfits to wear, especially when you decide to style it by adding key pieces such as a pair of cat eye sunglasses, mules, sneakers or a blazer. The options to styling a tee and jeans are limitless.

You could however, opt for a mom jeans to add a vintage style to it and viola! You’re good to go.

Tees and jeans are one of the most worn street style fashion pieces. Street style is known to be originally attractive and authentic and offers alternative choices when it comes to styling and it tends to say something significant about those who wear it, and also make them stand out.

It evolves from an individual perspective of style and has nothing to do with runway shows/designers but rather, covers different styles of dressing, especially creating fashion statement by wearing a particular trend in clothing

What are some of your wardrobe essentials? Are tees and jeans part of it?

THE SKIRT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT – PLEATED SKIRT

Pleats are such lovely design pattern to wear anytime, any day and they never go out of season as they’re versatile and most times, easy to style.

These were my exact thoughts as I walked through the stalls and crowd in the market in search of the perfect pleated skirt. I almost felt it was its season when I caught sight of a vendor pouring out a full bag of velvet pleats in different colour and…

ALTÉ FASHION – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BEING AN ALTÉ

Coined from the word alternative, Alté is the new wave in fashion,(not entirely new to some) especially here in Nigeria where people who wear mom jeans, fanny pack, crocs and every other unusual outfit you can think of have been termed “Alté ” due to their different/alternative way of dressing.

While it’s not yet a wide spread term in fashion, some people find it offensive when referred to as…
