OOTD: Back to the Roots

African Skater Skirt Image

Say hello to my first outfit post in the month of April, and it is an ode to my African roots. This skater African print skirt was a gift from my mum. I wore it for the first time some days ago, and I got quite a lot of good compliments from so many people. I guess it caught so many eyes because it is a very colourful, different skirt, just what you need to see on a dull, gloomy day.

Outfit of the Day Image

Growing up, I wore quite a lot of pieces like this skirt. In fact, half of my wardrobe would consist of african printed skirts, trousers and dresses, and I loved it. You won’t see this skirt or anything like it on the high street, which makes it even more precious.

Every now and again, I will like to mix my African pieces with my regular pieces, and create a very different look, so keep reading Fashion and Style Police, a lot of fashion and style inspiration coming your way.

I found it incredibly easy to style this custom-made skirt. I love seeing lace paired with African prints, maybe because I have seen a lot of lace African outfits over the years. I think they complement each other perfectly so I went for the look, and I think it turned out great.

I am also happy to see spring has finally sprung. How is the weather where you are?

OOTD: The Fancy Dress Challenge

Fancy Dress

I am always up for a challenge, as long as it is good fun. So when the good people of Tickled Pink Fancy Dress challenged me to pick an adult fancy dress and style it up, I was super excited. I decided to step back into the 1920s era, and I went for this gorgeous Fringed Flapper Dress. I was drawn to the stunning beaded fringing around the skirt, and the lace front. This dress reminds me of everything glamorous and chic, like 1920s and Coco Chanel. It also reminds me of a wedding scene in ‘Coming to America’, the wedding dancers had on a similar dress I think. I just need to yank off my shoes, and get in the dancing mood, lol…Have you seen the movie?

Anyways, back to the dress; I love the old school look. I found this dress super easy to dress up. I added a feathered headpiece also by Tickled Pink Fancy Dress to get more of the old school vibe. I knew I needed a WOW necklace to step up the look, so I reached for my new Maleficent. Labradorite Ornate Choker Necklace by Regal Rose. This Natural gemstone beauty is currently sold out, and no surprises there, it is loved by many. This great necklace is perfect for the party season, as it adds the WOW Factor to any look. It was just want a needed to take my fancy dress to the next level.

Hey peeps. Happy Sunday and happy new month, welcome to the month of November (one of my fav months). I had a fantastic October, and I am hoping my November is even better. In other news, I am so in love with this stunning Elodie Crepe Flared Sleeve Cape dress by Luxemme. Can you tell?

OOTD Cape Dress

I love the white cape overlay, it looks effortlessly chic and I did get quite a few stares while rocking this beauty. I love the fact that it is a white piece and the dramatic design is to die for. It is perfect for dinners and special occasions. Thank you Luxemme.

White Short Dress

I wish I was brave enough to rock this piece with bare legs but it was way too cold, not this time, maybe next time, lol..

I do like the tights paired with it though, but with bare legs would have looked even better. What do you think?
