LOTS OF GREEN

A lot of shades of green today. Always trying many pairings with various clothes to get the most from my outfits. A dash of red to add more color to the outfit.

UPCYCLE (2)

I have had this skirt for a long time. Since high school to be specific. It used to be a Sunday best. When I bumped into it after ages, I noted that it had some holes probably eaten by cockroaches in the basket. I decided to chop off the eaten part and use an elastic on the waist to make it wearable again.

I must say I am impressed by the end result. Maybe a few more years then it is ready for the donation bag. The sun is out today and a chance to warm the legs, a break from stockings.

UPCYLE

Hallo!I raided Mom's closet the previous weekend and I got this gem of a skirt. It is a midi skirt but I rolled the waist inwards severally to make it knee length. The stockings and tights will be around for a while considering the cold and wet weather we are currently experiencing.

The blouse am wearing today is upcycled from a full dress. It is a soft comfy viscose material. Being flowered gives me a myriad of pairing options. It will definitely be around for a long time.

BLUSH

I have always been sensitive wearing fitting denim. Like what am putting on today. I am quite slim and I have been feeling that I appear almost thin when I have tight fitting denim. However, that is slowly changing. This is the second pair I have and I have to say all that I thought was just in my mind. I quite like how I look in the blush denim jeans.

The color of the denim is a perfect match to the blush flowers on my blouse, pure coincidence. I have had these boots for sometime now and every time I wear them I am convinced that they are the perfect fit for me. And the brown handbag? A pure leather bag I bought way back when I was in college and it was crazy cheap and so is the jacket.

BELTED

The rains are coming down heavily and I am not complaining. Just missing the sunshine, a bit. Yesterday I traveled to Kisumu. I have been looking for a red belt and after being done with what took me there which was training on tax, I decided to walk around town and visit thrift stalls. I could not leave this belt, just the right size I wanted. It was a little expensive though compared to the other purchases I have made before. Still on the look out for the heels and statement necklaces. Like this outfit would have been better with a chunky necklace. Enjoy your weekend lovelies!

HALLO LONG RAINS

The long rains are finally here. More sweaters, jackets and trenches, scarves, shawls and layering of course. Being a farmer too the rains are more than welcome. And to keep up with the change in weather I had bought this grey sweater when I visited Kapsabet and it was a super bargain. The wide collar makes it fun and it's warm and cozy too.

SKIRT-DRESS TOP

Last Saturday I had gone to the thrift market in Siaya to shop for a patterned skirt. In the pile that had skirts was this gem of a dress top. I was struck by it and I couldn't resist adding it to my closet. I didn't get the skirt I went shopping for but I cannot complain either.

In the pictures it seems like it has some green, no it must be the sun rays or the effect of the green background. Paired it with a knee length khaki skirtand of course my lovely black and grey shoes.
