Happy new week my good people, My name is Maureen and I am obsessed with stripes....I seriously cannot keep my hands off. I have blogged about these pants before here and this time round I decided to combine it with neon accents.
A simple luminous green blouse seemed to be my perfect choice...then I added little pops of neon pink with the earrings and the heart shaped purse
Finished it off with these cobalt blue platforms with the matching bib necklace and my lovely animal print geeks and a red bold lip.
What do you think of my outfit....drop me a line below!

Kisses,
ChezMaureen!
 
Hallo fashionettes, Is it cold or cold....whaaat! I feel like I have frost fingers as I write this. What a way to start the week but oh well....its inevitable. I wore this outfit one of those rare sunny days we have been blessed with, so do not think am in Miami or something....Am very much in niarobi.
I love this skirt....I do not wear it much but the few times I do...i make sure I make a statement out of the outfit. I decided to do a little matchy matchy on it by adding a touch of gold to black.
                                 I'm obsessed with neon blue polish.... sigh
Finished it off with these distressed gold peep toes and voila! that was my midas touch.

How more feminine can lace be.....I find it quite girly with a touch of sexy. It was such a huge trend in 2011 but the beauty of it, is that it never goes of style. So, you can imagine my delight when I came across this hi-lo top. With the sun baring down on us lately....It was perfect for this weather.
I paired it up with these distressed jeans for a little edgy feeling,one because of the colliding of the two different textures and two being the jeans was low waist.
I used pops of bold color to add some sassiness to the outfit...This Chloe chain bag is one of my faves because it fits most of  stuff and the color is just adorbs.
I complemented it with the scarlett red pumps, love the studs on the side and you would never believe I got 'em for only ksh 100,no bargaining no nothing....well I am still pinching myself in disbelief.
                  I did different shades of purple with the violet earrings and the bag....then I did a side pony of my hair and added cobalt blue pearls as a hair band

Happy Friday my good people......mmmh the smell of the weekend just drifting and I could not be happier....you know what am talking about! Lets talk fashion....right?
This is an outfit I wore last friday on my way to run a few errands....I have wrote about this maxi before in my blog archives,. so this time I decided to add a touch of boho and a lil' glam to it and brought in the cropped top with the pop of color and the accessories. I love how such a tops can change an outfit in a snap...I wore mine off shoulder for that peekaboo effect on the maxi.
       I had a thought to cinch it up at the waist but decided against it at the last minute.
I held my hair up in a high pony to show off this gorge emerald green drop earrings and added this cobalt blue bib necklace.
      Finished it off with a bold red lip, black booties and this magenta satchel bag!

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...

Hey dolls...... Happy new week.....Its amazing how time is flying, days seem to just fly by....still cannot believe we in May....yea almost half way. Well the weather is amaze.....its a 'moanday' but its bright, sunny and lovely. What other way to get fash-inspired. I am not much into skirts but I gotta say I have been lately drawn to 'em....so I am making a pact to blog  more skirt posts. 
I wore this outfit over the weekend at my cousins event. I got this skirt a few weeks back, twas a perfect fit....I did not change a thing about it. I had an urge to make it a pencil skirt but oh well thought I would first try it out long....so it came in handy for that event. I especially loved the side slit....it add some sexy to the skirt...you know flash some lil' leg.
I paired it up with a lace blouse.....which I had to literally overturn my closet to find, I got it a while ago but forgot about it till I needed it...quite a bad habit I have developed....it seemed the perfect fit....I tucked it in then was on the prowl for a belt. I could not get any that befitted my outfit.....so I went for a tangerine neck piece and tied it at the back and voila! it was just perfect.
My accessories were popping......I went for a nubian queen head look with the head and Egyptian inspired drop earrings. My purse was small and African print....then, added strappy nude sandals and was ready to strut.

                                             Lace top- H&M

Hallo fashionettes...been a long minute right? Well my camera decided to die on me so I had to sit it out for a few days till i got a rescue. Anywho I've missed blogging and I pray there will be no more hiatus....so lets get to business....I have been meaning to try out the print on print trend and I got the chance yesterday as it was very sunny and summer-ish
I was on my thrifting escapades when I saw this skirt....this chic was trying it on and oh my....was I wishing she would not buy it. So after a gruesome 30 minutes she finally let it go and trust me I jumped on it so fast the girl was puzzled......c'mon if you love shopping yo know what am talking about. The polka dot is so playful...it was a perfect fit and it was midi....what more could a girl ask for.
I decided to take a fash risk and combine it with this animal print tee....I love its fit and its so ideal for the hot weather without being too sheer....I find it a lil' bit flirty.
Basically...I went just for a simple tee with a skirt....Its amazing how much print can change an outfit. That's why I went for a solid hot pink pump to break the busy outfit and carried a white envelope clutch.
I love playing around with this brooch and this time round I minimised a very bareback tee...I held it together to make some vavavum out of it and make it more comfortable for me to wear it....as I am very conscious about revealing too much skin.

                                               Animal print tee- Crazy world

This was a simple outfit for one of those hot days, we have bee experiencing *before the rain started in the evening and i freezed to bits* I forgot my jacket and well, i paid for it with the case of the chillys. Anywho, I went for a high- low black sheer vest and denim jeans.
              The accessories were color popping, to add an ooomph to the dull outfit and make it more glam without doing too much!
Am in love with this purple pinkish lipstick, I added the neon pink earrings to complement it
The oversize floral purse...is a carry it all though....the arms tire very fast, its overly fit for most occasions even night events!
                    Finally, the bronze ruffled peeptoe booties,I thought the peep toe would show some skin especially since i was basically covered up.

Happy easter dolls! Quite a long weekend it was and i loved everybit of it especially since I had to be with family....and actually had the chance to meet my great aunts, uncles, cousins.....t'was awesome. Since it was such an event, I went for a subtle yet respectable  look and hence dorned this Kitenge print tuxedo jacket from my designs.
I paired it up with these knife-pleated pallazo pants and my cropped white button up shirt. I accesorised the shirt with a vintage sun shaped brooch, added no more jewellery since the african is busy.
I finished the look with peach pumps and a matching belt. The sunglasses,, i totally love especially coz of the round structure and cat eyed edges.
                                The animal print detail on the inside of the shoe is adorbs.
Since I am always on a style prowl with my camera, I had to capture these looks below;
My lil' sister was looking all adorable in this batik bubble dress she designed for herself with black suede platforms.
My gorge cousin killed it with this polka dot blue and white dress, a red bold lip, yellow purse and gold flat peeptoes. She looked like she stepped out of a 70's movie scene.
              Finally my baby sister in a grey frock, black tights and gladiator sandals
