Transitional Months || How to dress appropriately for Nigeria's Current Weather

Cold by morning, hot by noon.

I found this picture below on at Unilagolodo's IGand I thought it would be a nice topic to blog about. 

Remember, when everyone in Lagos was complaining about the harsh weather and different kind of meme was trending, LOL! How can anyone forget that, it was so hot, I would wear short and top out sometimes, I am not kidding, everyone in Lagos, Nigeria at that point in time can relate, but now everyone is worried about staying in fashion with this current weather, believe me, the transition is amazing, it did be so cold in the morning and before you know it, you would be wondering "if your ancestors offended the sun, and now it's taking it out on you". *Just kidding* Please let the sun show off once in a while. LOL! 

It's quite simple, "let's bring it on with layers"

•• THE BLAZER/JACKET 

For the cooperate fashionistas, wearing layers might not feel appropriate or comfortable, and that's totally understandable. 

You can pair your blazer or jacket with denim jeans, and don't forget to pick a tweed jacket, select one in a light, fresh colour and make sure to stay away from grays or darker colours. 

•• THE SCARF 

I know someone somewhere reading this right now is whispering, 'scarf for what' LOL! YES, SCARF! 

The amazing thing about the scarf option is that, you can take it off when you want to, and still look classy, it can be worn on Option 1 above, or even a casual outfit. 

•• ROUND NECK TEES AND HAT

You can play around with this, especially with choice of shoes and colour, the good thing is the shoe you pair it with gives a cooperate feel or casual feel, however you want it. 

••THE GENTLEMAN FEEL - Long sleeve shirt and tailored pant.

You can add a tie in the morning, then leave the first and second button open when you start to feel Hot, which even makes you look hotter!

FLAT CAP // IS IT UNISEX?

Few people are wondering if flat caps, mostly worn by men, can also be a fashion hat for women.

But, why not? "what a man can do, a woman can do better" apologies to the men. LOL
Anyone, can pull this off and get away with it, if you want to.
One should never apologies for his/her style because, it is who you are, it speaks for you, it is your representation. But, we still need to play safe a little sometimes, so we don't end up looking like a bumble bee.

This post is a unisex tip on how to rock "FLAT CAPS".

 Quick Brief:
Flat caps, also known as cabbie caps, ivy caps, golf caps and driver caps—are rounded caps that are marked by their distinctive, short brims at the front. Both elegant and casual at the same time, they’re a versatile style choice that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

These iconic European hats are thought to have originated as early as the 14th century in Northern England and have always been representative of the essence of Great Britain. In the last century or so, they became one of the most popular choices for drivers and golfers, which led to the development of some of this flat cap’s popular names. Donned by icons ranging from Andy Capp to Samuel L. Jackson, the flat cap spans centuries and classes, but has always remained a staple of smart accessorizing.

HOW TO PAIR YOUR BOLD PRINT MAXI SKIRT

Maxi skirt is a wardrobe essential, and I think every woman should own one. We love the bohemian feel.

In case, you are wondering "summer is here" and print dresses are trending, if you love bold print and Maxi skirts this post is for you. 

You can achieve your bold print Maxi skirt with an Ankara Fabric like mine as seen above. 

Let's not deviate too much from the main topic, pairing your bold print Maxi skirt is almost as easy as it looks in pictures, either you want the bold edgy look or go versatile, it's more than easy to pair, bold print complete same pattern or a plain top to match, and the amazing thing about it is, if you are the flat girl, or sandal or heel, almost everything compliment this look, isn't that amazing?

LACE IN

LACE is a fine open fabric of cotton or silk, made by looping, twisting, or knitting thread in patterns and used especially for trimming garments. Learn more on Lace or order here

Lace is becoming more mainstream, and you can see them almost everywhere this season, including the runway. The current trend is either very thick and heavy, in big patterns, see through material or it's very delicate, sheer almost fabric.
Lace looks fantastic in both a dramatic evening dress, but also in dresses, skirts or tops paired with cashmere, with knits, with daytime chunky and cozy items.

The clash of posh with casual, light with heavy, luxe with chic pieces and types of fabric is amazing, and it gives a certain kind of sophistication and versatility to an outfit.

Personally, I Love the pairing of a midi lace dress, with a pair of sneakers and an user long.

Downloaded pictures from street style look to inspire you. How would you rock yours?

In Nigeria, it is not new to us, because, most of our asoebi comes in mostly Lace or ankara. All you need to complete it is a nice gele (head gear) 

Yea sweedie! That's how we roll! 

THE OFF-THE-SHOULDER TREND

Hello darls! So sorry I didn't get to wish everyone a happy new month, have been quite busy lately, imagine having to combine running a Modelling Agency, being a Jewelry retailer and a blogger, trust me it's fun. LOL! Not always.

Enough story, never too late to wish you a Happy New Month and I Love and appreciate you. LOL! YES, YOU!

First I thought the cold shoulder was going to outshine the off-the-shoulder trend this season, I must say, the off-the-shoulder is no longer a trend, but a wardrobe essential. The top is flirty and flattering and you can pull it off for virtually any event, from a vacation souvenir or the statement top, to the off the shoulder silhouette for an evening event, or going casual, even the bodysuits which can be worn under a fluted skirt. The list is endless. 

  You can order from zara

In the meantime, I compiled some pictures from street style look on off-the-shoulder trend. Check them out.
