Inspired by...Fashion!

-
Fashion is something that I always find inspiration in. And my personal style has evolved quite a bit since I started being more comfortable in my own skin. I wear clothes that make me feel happy. So, today, I thought I would do something a little different. Today, I am going to do a fashion piece highlighting some statement pieces I cannot go without.
I was very nervous about doing this since my blog has been one where I mostly write stories, but I thought why not change things around for once. After all, this is still inspiration. It is one of my many sources of inspiration. And I am sure my friend Nadine will be happy about this post, she told me ages ago to start doing outfit posts J
So here goes, my first fashion piece. Please note that this may not be what is in vogue at the moment, but it is still what I think I need in my closet, and who knows, you might think so too.
Studs and spikes…
                    
Studded and spiked heels, accessories and clothing items are still a major trend for me. Here are red Steve Madden peep toe heels.


 These are my studded Steve Madden's. Less is not always more, so I went all out and got this pair that has studs all over.
                                
                     The oversized sweater…
           
Another must have is the oversized sweater. I absolutely love it and you can wear it in Summer too as seen in the picture above. This one is from Forever21. If you are really petite, you can even wear it as a dress.



Or you can wear it in Winter or Autumn (Fall) with heels, to spice up the casual look. Whichever way you wear it, just make sure it works for you. My oversized sweater is Polo Jeans co. by Ralph Lauren and is actually a men’s sweater J

                       Boyfriend jeans… 

          Who doesn’t love boyfriend jeans? They are so comfortable and trendy right now and it gives you a breather from all the skinny jeans. Here the Kardashian sisters have styled theirs slightly different but both looks are gorgeous. Wear them with heels, ankle boots or combat boots.



 Here I have styled mine in two different ways. With the first look I paired it with black ankle boots, black chiffon top, blue blazer and a grey beanie.
In the second picture, I went for a simpler look with a black chiffon shirt and nude heels.
I think the more torn, the better J  To get the full effect, take yours one size bigger.

                    The Maxi Skirt…
 
       
I am still a fan of the maxi skirt. It can be worn in so many different ways, with heels or flats, jackets or without. It is really a versatile item that I think is still a must have in your closet.



 I love maxi skirts and have a few of them in different colours. I admit, sometimes I even turn my dresses into maxi skirts, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!!
Here I paired my white and yellow maxi skirt with a black crop top, gold sandals and matching gold accessories.

So that is it for today’s fashion post. I really hope you enjoyed it. I will try to do these features at least once a week, since fashion is a really big part of my life. This was done at the spur of the moment, so next time I will have a more detailed outfit post.

 And remember…..


Take Care

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

-
I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
