OOTD: The Monochrome Look*

Fashion Blogger UK Image Picture

I am currently obsessed with black pieces, like you should know already, with me wearing this sexy Miss Selfridge Midi Black Dress last week, and this elegant Lace Black Dress by Phase Eight, last week as well. Black has an amazing slimming effect, suits all body types, and is so easy to accessorise. What is there not to love right?

How is the weather at your end? My end has been fab. I am loving the sunshine, I can feel summer approaching, and it is getting me in the mood for a holiday. Thomas Cook has some amazing deals on at the moment, with offers like £100 off a Las Vegas trip, £150 off a return trip to Orlando Florida, and many other cool offers. I think it is fair to say I deserve a proper outside the UK holiday, so I will be looking into booking a holiday soon. Speaking of holidays, have you got any planned for the rest of the year?

Now back to this outfit, I got this monochrome short sleeve T-shirt dress some months ago. It is one of the spring/summer newbies in my wardrobe, and I have worn it quite a few times already. It is one of those tops, you can dress up and down easily, which makes it one of my favourites at the moment. On lazy days, when I can’t think, I can just throw it up with a pair of leggings/jeggings and flats, and I am a good to go. You need everyday pieces like this in your wardrobe, they make life a lot easier some days.

OOTD: A Navy Blue Ditsy Tea Dress*

I have been shopping the sales online, and it has been great. There are quite a few bargains up for grabs now so get in there now if you are looking to add some pieces to your collection. Some stores that currently have the spring sale going on are Debenhams, Illamasaqua, and Matalan. These stores have also added the new spring/summer collection to the stores and online, so it is worth popping in or browsing online, to see what is on trend at the moment, or you could just wait for me to wear it on here, lol.

However, I should add that knowing what styles and designs are in vogue does not mean you should go all out and shop all new collections. You can add few pieces and accessories to your existing wardrobe, to update it and give you new pieces to be excited about, and you should be able to style those few new buys with your current spring/summer pieces. The secret of having a stylish wardrobe is to avoid impulse buying. Always shop with your current wardrobe in mind, just so you buy pieces and accessories that would complement what you do have already. Shopping until you drop every season is not healthy or wise, that is why I always go for quality over quantity. I need my clothes and accessories to last longer than a season, that is why I am very selective of where I shop, you won’t catch shopping in many stores, names withheld to protect the innocent.

So over to what I have on, I am wearing a Navy Blue Ditsy Tea Dress. This dress is one of the new pieces I got in the spring sale some days ago and I love it. This dress is the TRUTH. I adore the colour, the floral print, the length, the way it feels, everything about this dress I love. I will be wearing this stylish dress a lot. It is so easy to dress up and down, a great choice.

April 2016 Outfits*

So April was quite an interesting month as far as outfits were concerned. I had fun styling various pieces. I went out of my comfort zone with some outfits, but I had fun shooting every outfit post. My wardrobe is gradually transitioning into spring/summer style, and I am loving it, but sometimes I feel like I brought out my spring/summer pieces too soon. It feels like it is still winter some days. I even had to put the heating back on. Well, I hope as we step into the month of May, the sunshine and warmth steps along with us.

 

OOTD: Back to the Roots

Back to the Roots Picture

I love this outfit a lot as it represents a bit of my African roots. I enjoyed styling this outfit. It took me outside my comfort zone, as I hardly wear African prints these days. It felt good to rock this beautiful skirt without tights. Not sure I can try that at the moment, as it is currently a lot colder, but will do once it gets warmer.

 

OOTD: A Textured Dress & a Biker Jacket

Textured Dress Image

April was the month of dresses and skirts. I wore a lot of them and it felt good to take a much deserved break from my usual jeggings/leggings. This textured dress and biker leather jacket was popular with the readers. In fact, it was the second most popular outfit post (Back to the Roots above was the first) for the month of April. Maybe because many found the outfits relatable?

 

OOTD: Fashion and Style Police Has a Tshirt

White T-shirt Image

Yes she does and I am looking forward to wearing this personalised tshirt all summer. Many of you may wonder why I am always hiding behind a big pair of sunglasses most times. Apart from the fact that I love rocking sunglasses, I find them so stylish, I am also short-sighted, so I have contact lenses most times, and my eyes don’t do well in the sun at all. It gives me headaches, because I have to squint and strain my eyes, so it is a lot easier to pop some sunglasses on. That is what they are really meant for anyways, and I thank God for whoever invented them. They are lifesaver.

Speaking of contact lenses, they can be quite expensive, so I tend to look for deals and buy them in bulk. Vision Direct is now offering a huge range of daily contact lenses from only £9.98 for lenses including Focus Dailies, Dailies Aquacomfort Plus, Soflens Dailies and 1 Day Acuvue at the best possible price. You also get a free next day delivery on orders over £49 and a free reminder! Isn’t that great?

This offer is valid until 31 May, and it is for new customers only, so get in there and thank me later.

Many fell in love with this look and I can now see why. It is because many could relate to it. It is a simple, girl next door look and it works. I must confess, I didn’t think it was all that until the post went live and the comments started flying in both online and offline. It has become my favourite look for April.

So there you have them, my 5 outfits for the month of April.

What do you think of the looks? Which is your favourite outfit?
