KHAKI + YELLOW

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. The Kenyan winter is already here and layering is a must. The mornings and evenings are particularly very cold, though it gets warmer in the day but not warm enough to drop your sweater or blazer.  I added a yellow scarf to brighten my day.

CORAL + BLACK

Happy Wednesday! The rainy season is on its tail end. Just a little sunshine and we are into the 'Kenyan winter', no snow falls but temperatures get quite low.

I decided to bare the arms to soak in the sunshine. The skirt I am wearing today is actually a high-low sundress, last worn here. I like its versatility and I look forward to proper summer when I can wear it without any layering. These photos were taken before 7.00 am in the morning since I have been reporting to work quite early of late.

If you have been keen, you will notice that I am growing back my hair. I intend to keep it natural and no dyeing - am keeping my greys :), let's see how the natural hair journey unfolds.

LEOPARD

Happy Monday! I am now fully recharged and I must say I enjoyed the break. I really loved this dress top when I bought it and I have now worn it twice, first time never made it to the blog. Sincerely, I am not feeling it and since my sister Daisy has been eyeing it, I think it deserves a better home. So, goodbye. Have a great week folks.

PLAID + VINTAGE BLUE SKIRT

Happy Monday! I have worn this top before and I have always paired it with colors that are in the plaid patters. Today I decided to pair it with an off color and I am happy with the outcome.

GIFTED : : AFRICAN PRINT SHORT

Happy Wednesday!I hope you are having a great week. The short I am wearing today is tailored. Getting a pair of shorts from the thrift market that is your desired fitting and length is always a challenge. T
he other challenge was to get a tailor that could give me what I want, so I have had this gifted African print material for over three years. I finally found a tailor that I can work with. I am loving the length and the fit, and the fact that I can wear it in both hot and cold weather.

With also the numerous colors in the patterns means that I can style it with a number of differently colored tops.

STRIPES

Happy Monday and hallo June! I hope you had a great and restful weekend. This is the second time I am wearing this top last worn here, I love its versatility and it is a worthy purchase. I like the faux peplum created by the belt. I wish you a great week.
