DAY TO NIGHT II : DENIM CUT-OFFS

shirt: F21 Shorts: THRIFT rings: H&M, ETSY shoes: H&M

blazer, shell & belt: F21 shoes: SHOE DAZZLE glasses & Necklace: NO NAME

Nothing says summer like a pair  of denim cut-off, well technically these are cutoff's I decided to fold them up cause I thought they looked better this way. I made these about 2 yrs ago and I will be tweaking it a bit by distressing it further and cutting it on an angle ( you know D.I.Y-ing is a process lol). It seems that my lapel went awry on the last photo, guess that what happens when your running out of time! So I have had a change of mind about the short suit trend ( I am now a complete convert), so off course I had to pair my cutoffs with a blazer and a silky shell from F21 that I bought in 3 colors; I plan to go back for more, I only wish they didn't have the annoying pocket lol. This summer for me is all about short shorts and breezy dresses ; what are some of your summer essentials? SuppleChic

WHAT TO WEAR: HOLIDAY DINNER

Sorry to interrupt regularly scheduled programing. This post was intended to be a video on youtube but after some thought I knew I wouldn't have it up before thanksgiving so I opted to do a post. If you have ever ventured into making video's you will know its no small feet. From editing out outtakes to bloopers: I have a very VIBRANT five year old ( who always wants to be in mommy's videos), to voice overs, to editing pictures, to video effects and finally rendering ( in my mind you only do youtube for two reasons you love it or you are getting paid lol).

 I came up with three scenarios and styled my outfits accordingly.

Meet the parents

For many reasons the holidays seem to be the most convenient time for folks in relationships to meet each others families. If you are in that situation this is for you. Personally I would go sweet and sassy no matter your personal style (that is if you are into whips, chains, spikes, lace, leather and all things naughty) this is not the time to show it ( even if its on trend) mom's as well as dads have a view in their heads of whom they want their son to be with and none of the afore mentioned items of clothing is involved. With that in mind I started with a chiffon blouse tucked into a skater skirt which I finished of with opaque tights and a bootie.

watch: Michael kors (get similar HERE HERE HERE) Bag: Thrift (get similar HERE HERE HERE)

shoes: Macys skirt: H&M(get similar HERE HERE HERE) blouse: Thrift (get similar HERE HERE HERE)

Grubbing 

Now this is what I do during the holidays.I leave all my fancy clothes at home because they get in the way of me getting down.This is such an easy outfit a tunic and leggings . Legging are perfect cause they have stretch in them and a roomy tunic will camouflage any food baby.

Tunic: H&M (get similar HERE HERE) sleeveless trench: Old Navy leggings: Target ( cool leggings HERE HERE)

boots: Just Fab ( get HERE or similar HERE  and wide calf ones HERE) scarf: Gift

Host/Hostess

First I will say I have never been a hostess (at least not officially anyway). Its something I dread ( but I know its coming)  because I know the work involved in cooking and of course cleaning because your having guests over and finally cleaning after they leave. Like most hostesses you will be busy till the last minute, probably showering as your guests are arriving. You want to keep things simple, practical but put together/luxe. when I think luxe "silk" is the first thing that comes to mind. I started off with a silk blouse and to add a kick I paired it with leather pants, finally I topped it off with a cozy cardigan a statement ring and sparkly studs.

ring: Ebay  studs:Moms   blouse: Thrift(get similar HERE HERE) Sweater :Thrift (A Printed one HERE  or HERE)  

pants: Thrift (get similar HERE HERE) shoes: Target (get similar HERE HERE HERE) 

P.S skater skirts are great for all body types they camouflage as well as give the illusion of more where their is less and you can eat as much as you want. Also leather pants are optional maybe a Jacquard/ brocade pant or one in oxblood if you want to stay on trend but any slim/ankle pants will do. Would love to see what you wear for your upcoming holiday dinners you can tag me on IG or tweet me a pic  everything is @supplechic. So which role will you be playing for Thanksgiving/Christmass?

JAIL BAIT

 Collar: ALDO  Sweater/Belt: H&M  Pants: FOREVER21+  Bag:ZARA   Shoes: Shoemint

 I have to say that the head to toe print trend is one of my favorite trends. Solange, Olivia, and June Ambrose to name a few have pulled this trend of effortlessly, but alas its a tricky trend and can go wrong so quickly. Since I consider myself a rookie I went with a neutral palette and added a pop of color

(I am obsessed with these shoes click HERE). 

So tell me how did I do?

P.S If you would like to see how I styled these pants differently click the YOUTUBE link below or in the side bar. Also I am hosting a small giveaway on YOUTUBE make sure you enter.

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

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).

THIRTY + DAYS

So my baby (blog) is over a month old I am ecstatic. This blog has been an idea for over two years and I am happy  that it is no longer just an idea. 

I am very much a perfectionist and I want my work (blog) to look like some of the best; which is why I hesitated for so long. However I am realizing that many things  in life happen in stages. 
Today has truly been one of those days GGMG ( God Give Me Grace). Anyway this is my final post for BFSC; it is a quick overview of my looks. Please let me know which you liked the most.

P.S. The challenge was also a contest and I am in 3rd place last time I checked I would love and appreciate it if you would vote for me HERE. 

Thank You in advance

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.

BFSC:BABY NEON AND PRINT ( HIGH WAISTED)

I am so happy to have 3 items crossed of my BFSC list, I am still trying to come up with a strategic plan to get all the posts in by the 31st lol! So right now my focus is on finishing the challenge,I know it may seem like I have tunnel vision but I promise to post other content once the challenge is over.

When I spotted these scarf print pants at Target I did a double take.My love for palazzo pants has been growing and I had been seriously lusting for the palazzo pants at Zara, but unfortunately they have limited sizing.

Similarly my love for neon has increased exponentially.I spotted both pieces during a trip to target and I knew they would make a perfect combination. 

Tee, Pants and Sandals: Target  clutch:Vintage Watch: Micheal Kors  

Necklaces: Forever21, Asos  Rings and Bracelets: Forever21 and Charlotte  Russe

Target is one of my favorite places to shop because they are a wonderful source for trendy inexpensive pieces,they go up to 3x in straight sizes, they have a plus size section and extended shoe sizes.
P.S Thanks to Chanelfiles I have added additional(Target)items  to my never ending list of wants Lord help me!
