The days that fashion overwhelms me and I find myself trying stuff that are out of my comfort zone....but then it would never be fashion wouldn't it?. It was quite a dull cold day so I decided to do a lil' bit of layering with little gothic accents
I L.O.V.E houndstooth print and been on a hunt for a skirt or short for a while and when I got it, I could not wait to style it. I went all retro with the black sweater and tucked it in since its super big. I complemented the look with a  plum rich tone and added gold accessories. You never go wrong with red with black and white prints....so I added a crimson belt then finished if off with black leggings.
This shoes are so vavavum....I do not know what to call them but they are a cross breed of platforms with maryjanes. But I sure loved the polka dots.....Oh and they are super comfortable....they are so weird I could't help loving 'em and I thought they really complemented the hounds tooth print.
                             I kept the rest of my accessories minimal...
                                           CLOSET:
                                           Checkered short- H&M
                                           Knit sweater- Thrifted

Have a blessed week,
Chez Maureen!
 
I don't do preppy looks often but this time I decided to go all out and incorporate a bow tie and colored geeks.
This was my Saturday wear for a friend's event and I totally love the pin  striped white and blue blazer. The weather was a ishy with the sun getting hot and dull at the same time so it was a struggle to find the perfect lighting for the pictures
I did a lil' bit color blocking with the crazy green button up shirt, green shorts and hot pink pointy pumps
                                      I balanced the craziness with a black patent purse
                                                          CLOSET:
                                                          Stripped blazer- H&M
                                                          Green shorts- Banana Republic
                                                          Blouse- Thrifted
                                                          Pointy pumps- Aldo
                                                          Purse- Toi Market
                                                          Geek glasses- Super cosmetics
                                                          Earrings- Perida centre
                                                          Bow tie- Thrifted

Of late i have been spotting these button up shirts and aint getting obcessed with them. But aren't they just off the hook
Well it not everyday you catch me in flatties but a gal gots to give them mean heels a break sometimes. I totally like these pointed brown patent ones  especially when am out and about or running errands and want to look chic.
By now u must know how i love animal prints, this one was sheer and quite subtle than most i usually do. I paired it with these high waisted woolen shorts and added this butterfly cobalt blue stretch belt.
I dressed up the shirt with this multi colored bib necklace to add a pop of color to the outfit and finally carried my croc skin leather bag. Oh and my geeks for the definition of the geeky look i was goin for.
                              The flatties have a distressed bronze tip
 
This weekend was all about family and friends. On sunday I did a picnic with the gals and this is a polyvore of what I wore.
I did a sheer peach blouse and a nautical striped tank inside, paired it up with high waisted woolen shorts and bandage cream wedge sandals
I then did a lesso head scarf to add some color to the oufit and a pinch of green with the belt. The earrings are kitenge inspired from bridgets collection and i totally love them. It was getting dark and i did not take really good pics so this time i will just add only limited ones for you to just get the concept
