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

pas de DEUX

 

As promised here is part two;

Lately I have been gravitating towards the black and white palette and consequently I have purchased a few clothing pieces with that color combination.

The sun dress is the quintessential summer staple, it even has "sun" in its name.

During Full Figure Fashion week I spotted this dress and i knew it was coming home with me.I love this dress for three reasons it has a palm print (vacation!!), it was thirteen dollars and it features the silhouette of the moment the "fit and flare".

For fall I decided to go for a "school girl" inspired look I layered a blouse underneath the dress and turned it into a pinafore. 

In addition the blouse was buttoned all the way to the top, a statement necklace and botties completed the look

depending on your weather you can go bear legs or if its a bit chilly add some tights.Their is just something I love about black tights and black botties 

DRESS, BLOUSE - H&M JACKET OLD - JC PENNY SHOES- TARGET

P.S I Got this dress from H&M ( I love the H&M's in New York City they dont make em the same)

LAYERS

When I first came up with the concept for this blog I told my self I would be posting twice a week definitely not twice a month lol! but as they say, we plan God laughs; I am so busy these days I go days without coming across anything fashion related (well maybe not days more like 18-24 hours!)

On the other hand it is still like 80 degrees were I live during the day, but it does drop significantly at night which annoys me because by mid day I am sweating! We are currently experiencing climate-control issue's in my workplace( thats a long story)
hence my previous statement.

Consequently I decided do a series on how I transition my favorite summer pieces for fall. Rompers/playsuit have been out for about three summers but believe it or not, I only have one and I bought it this summer ( I am most comfortable with classics and when I do venture out I have strict parameters). I hate spending a lot of money on trendy things especially when they will not come back the following year so I wait. Needless to say the romper kept on coming back and I finally found one in my size, my price point, and in a flattering silhouette. So off course you know, that I couldnt just store it away just because summer is over. 

Here is a typical summer outfit 

would have added a fedora and shades if I didn't have my hair in this retro inspired style 

To transition the romper for fall the first thing I did was to layer on a light sweater

I chose the sweater because I wanted to play with prints, it has graduated stripes and is in a neutral palette just like the romper. To add some color I choose my purple suede loafers and I finished the look off with a printed bag that also had the same shade of purple to tie the whole look together.

Finally I added another layer for warmth
(you can decided to add as many layers as you would like )

 If its colder where you live and if your like me and you dont want to give up your romper, all you have to do is add some opaque tights, which with this particular outfit I would pair with combat boots and a red lip,to compliment the red in the bag.
P.S Stay tuned for the other pieces I will be transitioning for fall and also for the giveaway winner announcement
( I havnt forgotten).
