CINQ CHOSES

It seems that of late I have become intrigued by all things french. Hence the title "five things" I think its because of the latest street style shots from Paris fashion week. Or it may be because the innate frenchman in me has surfaced. Frenchman? I took french of and on for about six years of my life. The funny thing about the whole thing is all I can say is "what is your name" and "my name is". I feel bad for my mom sometimes she really tried to make me cultured, french, piano ......... But all I wanted to do was draw and sing. 

Now here are my current five 
favorites:

Bloggers in Tutu's

Prints

           Pencil Skirts and Tees

Leather sleeves

                                Anything and everything Solange

                              

                                 

           

I AM loving the current explosion of plus size bloggers in TUTU's. As I said on my FB page I guess we all have inner ballerina's in us. As usual Gabi didint disappoint I also loved the outfit Gurl With Curves put together; if you are intrested in this style I know that forever21 has a few less expensive versions of the tutu skirt.
I could write a post just on the PENCIL SKIRT. The pencil skirt embodies my philosphy on style: it accentuates ones curves, it is sultry/sexy without being vulgar, its sophisticated and leaves room for the imagination............. 
Pairing it with a tee makes it modern and gives off that effortlessy chic vibe we are all trying to attain. 
Off course one of the biggest trends for fall is LEATHER and I have been obssesed with leather sleeves for about two winters  I am still trying to find the "right look" within my price point. I am crossing my fingers that it will happen soon. 
PRINTS!!! If you didn't know I am Nigerian, we love prints and all things colorful, bold and clashing. You can take the girl out of Naija but you cant take the Naija out of her.
Last but not least SOLANGE I am thoroughly intrigued by this woman; I just love her style and how she owns who she is. It cant be easy being her, but if her sister owns her music SOLANGE owns her style, her style is impecable! its the perfect mix of high, low, edgy, modern,  and vintage with an ethnic twist. My goal is that one day I will be able to work with her
( I am having a Stan moment ).

P.S  Rant alert!I need a HTML crash course I have spent literally four hours trying to place picture where I want them and trying to get rid of extra space really peeved feeling a little better now if the space wants to be there let it be!!
Ive got a Mini Look-book out on the TUBE check it out if you havnt already

BFSC: TAILS

One more to go woohoo! and less than 48hrs let me see if I can do it. I am happy and sad that this challenge is coming to an end because at many times it caused me to really step out of my comfort zone. This was definitely a challenge for me because I started the challenge halfway through at the end of june so I had to get creative about finding time to take,edit,and post. Consequently I found my self being critical about some of my posts because I felt I could do better. Now imagine how surprised I was when I received such nice comments.

Shirt : F21  Shorts : Vintage DIY  Bag : H&M  Shoes : Unionbay  Watch : M.K.   Jewelry : H&M, F21

Now on to the post, I promise that I did not do this intentionally; if you read my previous post you already know how I currently feel about citrus. I put of my "hi-lo" post because honestly I didn't have much in my closet that fit the bill, because I get wary about trends (I could write a separate post). So I had only two items (both being tops) in my closet that fit the bill and I decided on this top. ( but then I may be biased)

P.S. I promise this will be the last time I feature this color (at least for awhile) and now you guys have learnt something about me (when it rains for me it pours lol!) I.E when I like something everyone knows

BFSC: ISLAND STATE OF MIND

I am in serious need of a vacation,since that is a long way off I will console my self by dressing like I am on vacation. I am really having a citrus moment,I have been graduating towards colors like chartreuse/citron.I was so happy when I scored this 100% silk skirt (brand new)while thrift-ing it was definitely my score of the summer.

Earring : F21  Bustier : DIY  Skirt : Thrift Shoes : Shop Hallelu

So happy that I have only three more pieces to cross off my BFSC list. I actually made this top three years ago when I was desperately on the hunt for a cropped bustier but couldn't find one that had big enough cups. I have to say I was definitely out of my comfort zone with this outfit cause typically when I wear items like this I usually, have to have a jacket or cover-up. Strapless anything (without outerwear) is a no-go area for me because of a combination of reasons my arms and bust. Wearing strapless tops especially when you are busty can be tricky finding the proper bra is key. Thankfully stores like Lane Bryant and torrid and brands like Fig-leaves, Just My Size and Bare Necessities are listening.   

P.S I have learned that the key to wearing crop tops when you are plus size is all about what you wear on the bottom 

hint:"high waisted"

HEAT WAVE: MY JOURNEY FROM DAY TO NIGHT (BFSC)

Hello dolls!! it feels good to know I am not talking to my self if you are new to our family I just want to welcome you!

I dont know about where you live but we are paying for our mild winter where I live with daily 100+ degree weather, now I know for some folks this is the norm but here it is not.

  

Anyway back to the matter at hand its hot so what to wear! 

over the last couple of years I have started to learn to be comfortable with my body but as I stated in the previous post it took me some time and one hangup that I still struggle with are my arms which I inherited, so I usually shy away from anything sleeveless and would default to three quarter sleeves. However as the temperature rises I have had to damn my hangups and am now wearing what will keep me as sane/cool as possible.

I spotted this mint green SLEEVELESS top at H&m for $12 I was so excited cause at that time I was having a MINT moment. I decided to pair it with this cute BODY-CON skirt from forever and.......

Shirt : H&M Skirt/Bracelets/Sunglasses/Necklace/shoes/Bag : F21

Sometimes I marvel at the fact that I was born and partially raised in a tropical climate ( west Africa) because I really hate heat=sweat! I am quite miserable when I am hot lol!

Anywho as I was looking at my posts I notice a trend( lol like I have that many posts)most of my outfit posts have been on the casual side (heel-less) and to be quiet honest you will get a lot more of that from me.

 So I decided to do a day to "night" post, if you are familiar with my YOUTUBE channel you will know this is one of my favorite thing to do, wear one thing multiple ways.I am going to be quiet now lol! and if you took the time to read all of this give yourself a pat on the back.

 So ladies how do you feel about sleeves/less (even when its not flattering) yay or nay ?

Tank : J.S.  Bag/Ring : H&M  Necklace : Charlotte Russe  Shoes : Vince Camuto

P.S I know their is all this controversy about spanx/shape-wear/girdles but I am for them, I believe they give your clothing the ideal framework to sit on and honestly if you've had a child it keeps the under belly under control.
