This past Saturday was my birthday and boy did I have a moment. Its one of those eerie feelings when you get to reflect how far you have come, what is done and yet to be done. The people in my life, who mean the world to me and just a thank you note for all you out there who believe in me and are super fans of my blog......God bless you all.

When it comes to my fashion sense....as i grow older, so does it, and I find myself getting attracted to more demure, classic feel of style. The secret is always to embrace it rather than dress for the wrong age.

In this outfit post, I saw myself going for a neon lace pink skirt, something i have not done in a very long while. To avoid feeling all skimpy, i paired it up with an oversize white sheer lace top to balance off the outfit. I grabbed my cobalt blue court heels and a gold clutch and I was ready to shwish the day away.

The accessories comprised of cobalt blue pearls turn to a bracelet, a bronze belt turned to a bracelet and a boyfriend watch. Then, a color blocked neckpiece and gold clutch both gifted by my dear, sweet friend and fellow fashionista julez from a trip to Thailand.

 Honestly, I am obsessed with this summer trend......STRIPES. Not only are they adorable and chic, they add that bold and daring element to your look. I recently just bought these pants, ofcos I was concerned I might end up looking like a jailbird but the eclectic part of me had to have em. 

I first spotted nautical vertical striped pants on Elle MacPhearson in the fashion star reality show and since then being hoping to get me a perfect pair. They are really dramatic trousers and definitely make a statement. I was concerned about looking like a jailbird but the eclectic side of to me won over so i had to add it in my closet. 

I always find black and white goes well with bold hues so i went for the red cropped jacket and a bold bronze neck piece.

   

                        I kept the accessories to a minimal and added a non competing blue woven purse 

I did a black tank and black booties so as not to compete with the stripes, then
a tangerine hair bow

How are you good people, am hoping you had an awesome weekend. Mine was quite a mixture of sorts but yesterday crowned my weekend up. I met my gals and its never anything short of amaze balls when we get to catch up and all esp since one of us just jetted back into the country from abroad.

I decided to do a lil bit of everything, color,demin, the sweater, nautical stripes.....

I love this tangerine capris.....and I paired em with this turqoise knit sweater that is quite my fave knit oflate

I had a nautical hi-low stripped shirt inside and it was quite chillly in the evening so the sweater came in handy and I totally forgot to take it off as i was taking the pics. I then added a neon pink scarf to add some color and ummmph to it.

And finally my geeks and a janelle monae inspired hairstyle, then my nude and white sling backs. And oh....not forgetting the teal purse.

My sweater is baggy and it looked funny when i tucked it in, but i did not want to belt it up so i added a brooch at the back.

This is one of my favorite formal looks that i have done so far. I have an obsession for animal print and my friends can attest to that. So this skirt was a great addition to my closet. At first i had planned it to be part of a party ensemble but since i have quite out of the party scene for a while, i decided to do a day outfit with it

I paired it up with this green tie neck blouse, i really liked the color contrast so i added the white blazer.

I added the blazer to invoke some seriousness to the outfit and maintain a serious but sexy look

I threw in a crimson red envelope clutch and matching eaarings to add a pop of color to the outfit. Then finished it off with a bold lip.

                              Not forgetting the baby pink atmosphere pumps.

       I did some few pics without the jacket and neverthelessless liked it too
