Principles; Rights or Wrongs



 


 

I always told myself I was a very principled young lady, with strict standards that I strictly adhere to. But then I see myself bending them, stretching them, pushing my limits, and with time I realize that I no longer know what they were anymore. And it's back to the drawing board. Sometimes when you don't have a name attached to some things, they become easier to acheive, is that correct? I hope so because I have decided to drop the principles and standards and call a spade a spade, rights or wrongs. I pray everyday for discernment and wisdom to make these decisions not based on my judgment but on the precepts if the teachings of the gospel. I try and try everyday to be better it it's not easy. It's difficult to hold on to the things you believe and know, in a world that most times defies the word of God. But I have taken a decision now, it's either right or wrong, no inbetweens. Does anyone share my dilema
 I am wearing my crochet blouse with my favorite green skirt, I stole this hat from my dad, and I wanted to wear heels but I thought naaaah, I'll do sneakers today. I hope you like

Down time yes?


Do celebrities never have a down Time? I mean, I am far far far from being a celebrity but something funny happened, I was out with mom last week, and she had so much to do I was left alone in the car. Anyone who knows me knows I love chicken republic jollof rice, and I figured since I was in alausa, I could walk down there and get me some. The problem was, I figured, since I was just helping mom out Id have no make up on, oversized dresses and my downtime sandals. I mean I figured everyone has a right to look ugly once in a while, even a fashion blogger supposed to be stuck in the car all day. So I took my little walk, and I ran into old classmates. The thing is I used to be best dressed in my class back then, so you must understand my dilemma, and now fashion blogger... Ghen ghen!... What I had been avoiding. I put on my best smile and waved a happy wave, but as soon as the smiles disappeared I got the "what is she wearing " look, lol oh well, I figured I might as well carry on. But then again, I had to wonder, downtime? Yes? When we really don't want to dress up, are we allowed to just go all out and look shabby. I always say dress according to your mood , but that bad?... I Really can't answer that. 
But I'll tell myself....
Girl,... Even if you're going to stay in the car, with no makeup on, maximize your down time, at least look presentable. That way, my down time is still fun and simple.  And stay confident no matter what.

On my outfit today, It wasn't love at first sight when I bought these sneakers, I see them around, some chic, some not, and then I decided to add it to my list of wardrobe staples, when I realized how comfortable I feel in them. And they make you look pretty cool if I say so myself.
 I was headed to the clinic, I wanted to look really casual, so I wore my tank top paired with my ripped jeans and my trusty  black jacket... I wasn't feeling it at all, until I put on my really chunky muchy jewellery... Then I felt okay. Lol... I hope you like. Have a fab fab week.











 Sorry for the late post... Keep it classy

Ugly shoes , ugly dress... Positive attitude




All my life, my dad wanted me to be a professional something... A banker, a doctor, an engineer. Lol but I as I got older, I strayed farther away from the academic line and more into fashion and entertainment... To his utmost dismay and my profound pleasure. Though I suspect he still has hopes I'll change my mind, he got me this dress and shoes as a Christmas gift. When I first saw them at first i was annoyed because it looked so officey and I felt it was not blogable and too ugly, especially the shoes. But then I realized I could make my dress anything I wanted it to be. So I decided to wear a white shirt inside, because I think the high neckline is just hideous... Who knows I might like it again (the neckline) someday, but not today.
I was ecstatic in this dress, I felt playful, I felt comfortable, I felt confident. Isn't that totally the point of fashion. It took me three months to put this on, but I don't regret it. Do you have that dress that you think is just utterly awful! Whip it out and give it a try, you might be surprised. Have a fab week ahead.
