I find styling jumpsuits to be really tricky, you have to consider your shape and figure, otherwise you find your self in some fashion police cap. This was my outfit for my brother's graduation,I got this butter yellow one in my thrifting escapades....its a lil' baggy which i prefer because it doesn't crinkle around the hip and thigh area.
I particularly loved the collars at the front and back. The back is has a low neck while the front is shorter and peter pan. I threw in the jungle green vest to bring some seriousness to the outfit, but threw it off when it got extra warm
I did the little pops of color by adding a neon pink skinny belt, color blocked earrings and the cobalt blue platforms and matching tweed purse borrowed from my sisters closet.
            I totally love the back it soo party at the back while business at the front.
             I added a tangerine scarf with black polka dots to serve as my hair band.

Happy holydays everyone, isn't the festive season just out of this world....how are you spending your's? well for me its that time for  family and friends,the only time you give them endless attention and just relax and be at ease. Its during this season i decided to go all out with the 80's look, the hair and the whole outfit. Peplum dresses and tops were popular in the 1940s, and had a huge revival in the 1980s, so if you’re after a more 40s style you can often pick up 80s dresses for next to nothing at any flea markets or vintage shops  and you can make em to your taste and style and with the right hair and accessories they look amazing.
This electric green peplum dress was originally very long, so I decided to make it a party dress and made it shorter, take a look at my previous post, i made a scarf out of the extra material.
I really love this white croc skin peep toe platforms but i never get to wear them much.....they pretty high but suprisingly comfortable. I like the metallic pink heel.
I went for an 80's hah irdo.....i really love the big hair bun that i made, then complemented it with a crimson red lip and an emerald blue bib necklace.
           I wanted a tiny briefcase-ish purse and this really went well my ka dress.
                                Finished it off with this white button earrings.

One of those chilly days that i decided to unleash this trench dress hat I have neglected for quite a while now.....I got it more than 3 years ago and its one of those statement pieces that never go out of style.
Pardon me...i took pics when it was quite late and they are a lil bit dark....but well they will serve the purpose
                       I love the vintage feeling to it and the huge button details
I did minimal accessories so i decided to incorporate these teal pearls in my hair....and i plaited it into the pony tail then added a tangerine hair band.
I topped the accessories up with an electric green scarf and yellow beaded earrings from New Blakk Accessories. I added a paisely scarf to the bag to add some oooomph to it.
              The booties are BCBG Max Azria, aren't the ruffles just adorable

This special date, my friends and I decided to visit a children's home we had visited a couple of years ago just to check up on them and celebrate Jamhuri day with the kids. It was really a touching and an awesome experience, we really had fun. Here are some of the pics
Each of the hand print represent each kid...nice huh! Below are their sleeping quaters, we made a pact to go back and buy them storage boxes.
Can't remember what we were all staring at....below....their kitchen
            Muthoni....one of the babies of the house...she has adorable eyes
and there were lots of games.....including football....and we literally played...yes..including yours truly
 
I have to say....i really love polka dots, theres just something about them that calls out to me, i find them fun and a teeney lil bit flirty in their own twisted way.
Thats why I mixed different polka dots in this outfit, the black on white in the blouse and the white on teal in the shoes
I have had these pants for a long time now, since '08 and i find them to be classic vintage and you can wear them in many different ways and they still don't go out of style.
I have to confess am currently obcessed with these shoes.....oh so cute and these  earrings, i find them to be just bold especially when i have my hair in a pony
I finished it off with a crimson red chain bag and minimal accessories so as not to compete with  the busy fabric
