OOTD: Lace in Peplum

UK Fashion Blogger Picture

 

Thank God the weekend is here at last, and I can show off this outfit of the day aka ootd: lace in peplum. This week has been so hard. I am extremely happy today is Saturday and I get to put my feet up. You have no idea how excited I am. It has been an extremely busy week with me juggling my life, blog and my freelance jobs. I am thankful to be this busy but I think I need to schedule in some proper ‘me’ time so I don’t breakdown, lol.

The thing about working for yourself is if you do not know where to draw the line, you will be working every minute you are awake, and I mean serious working – the fastest way to collapse….

I have decided to start taking my wellbeing a little more seriously, for the sake of my health and my career. I am not useful to anyone if I fall ill so easy does it going forward. I am going to relax a little and find some time to unwind without any gadget around me, like a holiday digital detox. So no laptops, phones, tablets or camera. I may schedule that for this weekend at some point, so don’t be too surprised if no new post is uploaded until Monday.

Enough of me moaning, back to the fun stuff now, I wore this outfit some days ago. The sandals and top are new wardrobe additions, and I adore them both.

The pink crochet lace peplum top is an excellent fit. I love the lace design and the pink colour is fab. It is a chic piece. I love the fact that I can style it in various ways.

The khaki tie-up suede block heel sandals is also fabulous. I love the tie-up design and the gold accent heel, which is a perfect height for me. The khaki colour is also pretty and new colour in my wardrobe. I can see myself rocking these two for many years to come.

OOTD: Summer Fashion

I am still making the most of summer fashion. I can smell autumn but the sun is still out on most days thankfully, so I am still rocking my summer wardrobe. I love summer fashion so much. It is so vibrant and full of life, it ia hard not to love. I particularly love the bright coloured pieces and accessories. They make me feel alive and ready to take on the world.

I never wore much colour back in my teen years. You would only catch me in monochrome pieces 99% of the time. Maybe it had to do with hormones or me finding myself but I am happy I now wear some colour. It is a lot more fun to dress up now.

I wore this outfit some days ago. I have not worn a pair of jeans in weeks because of how warm it has been (I get really hot in jeans), so I was happy to get into my good old Molly jeans.

The coral top is a new addition to my wardrobe. I love the colour and the design of the top. It feels amazing and it looks great. I will be wearing this beauty in many summers to come.

This beautiful sparkly nude leather embellished summer sandals is also a new addition to my summer wardrobe. I love how sparkly and comfortable it is. I am hardly in flats these days but this beauty right here is definitely a keeper.

Overall, I was really happy with this look. And I am also very pleased with my new hair. I am rocking the straight long hair look this August, and I like it.

OOTD: Casual Day Wear Look

Casual Daywear Style Image

 

I like the casual day wear trend especially in the summer. Most times, I find it too warm to look all dressed up so I settle for the casual day wear look and it suits my lifestyle just fine. Here are some tips to have in mind when experimenting with the casual day wear look:

 

Go for Quality

I always go for quality but I pay special attention to my casual day wear pieces because I wear them a lot. Cheap fabrics will fall apart quickly in my hands so I go for the best I can afford every time.

 

Dresses at the Ready

A dress is  a great all-purpose, wear anywhere, anytime outfit, so invest wisely. Go for jersey fabrics, they drape beautifully, feel good and will flatter almost every figure.

 

Accessorise Smart

Don’t go overboard with big sparkly jewellery with casual day wear pieces. It would look too much. Keep the accessories small and understated so you look effortlessly chic. A simple scarf, sunglasses, a small bracelet or necklace would do if necessary.

Shop Smart

Don’t just buy clothes or accessories because you like them. Have a plan for every piece you buy. Make sure anything new fills a hole in your wardrobe, in this case, your casual day wear section. This wear you are building a capsule wardrobe, and you will never run out of what to wear.

 

Look Cool

Look cool, casual and trendy this summer by teaming a nice floral dress with flip-flops or sandals like I have done here. This look ensures you stay cool in the heat, and it is so easy to style. As long as your dress is groomed, this look works.

 

Go for a Perfect Fit

Casual day wear does not mean baggy or loose. Go for pieces that suit your body shape. If you rather have a track suit or an oversize top, ensure you balance the look with a pair of skinny jeans, a belt and heels.
