A LITTLE SKIN

Happy Monday and August! I hope you had a great weekend. I spent mine in a church function fundraiser for the less fortunate children. I am glad to have made my contribution towards offering them better education. 

Some time last month I saw Angie of reasons to dress in a crop top. It is a trend I have always wanted to try. And it just happened that Mom was cleaning her closet and this polka dot top was one of the items being cleaned out. Well, there was my luck and I must say even in your 30s and no abs it is very okay to rock a crop top, feel free!

MATCHY : : LAVENDER + BLACK

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. These shoes made me dig my closet because I was feeling like matching the lavenders in the outfit. I think I did well. Does sometimes one item in an outfit  determine your entire look? I think I will take the challenge and make this a "matchy week". Let's see what I will have on Wednesday.

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.

Linking with because Shanna said so ,  shopping my closet , Lindsey at pleated poppy , get your pretty on, happiness at mid life, trendy Wednesday.

REPEAT OFFENDER - AFRICAN PRINT

Happy Monday folks. I have worn this dress before here. As it is, the only different ways I think of styling it is with contrasting colors for head wraps, shoes, necklace and maybe a belt. This time the focus was on color red. I apparently include a lot of red in my outfits but surprisingly it is not my favourite color. And this was a mid day shot, all shadows falling on my face. Always a no no.

RED + YELLOW AND NECKLACE

Happy Tuesday! I have been eying this necklace since last year. Locally, I felt that the prices are exorbitant. I am a frugal girl, always looking for a bargain. I saw it on sheinside and decided to buy it online. Now this was my first abroad online shopping and using my visa card it was as easy as snapping a finger. One week down the line and I get a call from my local post office to collect my order. I am happy and I look forward to buying more statement necklaces, red and blue in particular.

SHAWLS

Happy Friday! I fell sick on Wednesday and therefore was unable to make any posts for Thursday. Responded well to medicine. Other than shorts being my "savior" outfits, dresses are always easy to put together especially when I did not think over the outfit before. It got chilly in the evening and therefore the shawls over my head creating a hijab look. Reminded me of Benazir Bhutto. Enjoy your weekend.

COLORFUL

Happy Monday folks. I trust you had a restful weekend. Mine was busy with lots of farm work. My comfort piece is always a pair of shorts, combined with a shirt and am ready to go and I like how the shirt collar just stood up. I added some heels to make it more chic. Colorful indeed, green, red, blue and grey . I no longer fear color.

AFRICAN PRINTS

Happy Monday! This is another African print that I rarely wear. Its colors are a little bit dull and I therefore added some life to it by using the red head wrap and yellow flower. And these shoes I have to some are the most comfortable high heel sandals I've had in a long time.
