Polka dots, sunny yellow, rerocking dresses

So I am currently trying to rebrand myself, so that's why I have been MIA, and it gets pretty stressful juggling the activities and work and the blog. Ironically I blog for happenings.com.ng/category/fashion. I really wouldn't want to put up the same posts on here. I'm pretty much putting in all my efforts there and trying my best to rebrand with a bang! So please bear with me. Good times are coming.


I recently put up a post about rerocking clothes, especially dresses. At hifashiononline, we are strong advocates of getting maximum wear out of 80% of your wardrobe, and unlike blouses and pants, dresses are harder to rerock, well because they are dresses. So here I am rerocking my polka dot dress

So this outfit today is one of my favorite dresses for lots of reasons I wont bore you with. Unfortunately I have had a hard time rerocking it, because it has a high neck, so the best I can do is a blazer. But I recently got this sweater, woke up late for work this morning, mad dash around the house (the fear of ikate elegushi traffic morning traffic is the beginning of wisdom) didn't plan my today's outfit, but I knew I needed to wear a dress because its easier. Hence my outfit.

I paired my dress with my sweater worn backwards to cover the high neck in front. I just didn't want it to look obvious up front.I belted it, so it defines my waistline and doesn't look bulky, You should do that too unless your going for a boxy layered look, then it's fine. I initially thought the yellow sandals were an overkill, but If you want to tone down an outfit like this, wear black shoes. I love yellow, so I had a sunny happy day. Au courant?
I love my new retro afro curly look, though it's been two days and my dad hasn't attempted to trim it down with his bad mouth. LOL
