Statement accessorising is fashions easiest styling tip and I’m an avid fan of statement pieces, i either buy them HERE or make them like i have done HERE and whats more statement than the Beret trend in 2018.

This is one of the perks and also downsides of blogging "sometimes it just doesn't work out'.

Last year October at I got a free invite to the GTB Fashion week but because I didn't understand Lagos traffic I wasn't able to make it to the show, I felt totally bad but it didn't last long once I realized the outfit I had planned to wear wouldn't have turned out fantastic and by "the outfit" I actually mean this look and you know how I like my style: FANTASTIC. 

With that in mind, if you ever have an occasion and you pick an outfit always try it on at least 3times before the event. Think of it as your lucky charm 3 steps to slay, this helps you make sure everything is fine the fitting, the piece etc. 

Then I had this outfit planned 3 different ways which I was going to wear and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some how I would get a hold on a Ticket to attend the show so I can really understand the whole fashion week process: see brands, meet persons socialize basically and also because my outfit has been reimagined, re-tried and now it's lit! 

As much as I'm a fashion consultant; I also love sharing my experiences and from this post I would like to draw the most obvious somewhere in between this read: "Always try to rise above succumbing" in no matter what situation you find yourself. If you want it go after it; if you feel like you are giving up take a break (no pressure) buy always keep it in the back of your mind because once it's there whenever you need it you can compel it to come forth. 

If you feel like you just got schooled, well you did and I hope you took a few style notes and life hacks (wink)! 

(btw what are your thoughts on my accessories, i was going to choose to wear either the earring or the necklace but somehow i ended up wearing both

ps: my dress/top is actually a skirt you wouldn't be very shocked if you follow my blog because i previously styled it here  )

                           

Two of my fave things right now: cheesecake and the color red, thanks to Frost Cakes for getting a girl hooked and to Chanel's Paris fashion show 2017 for bringing bloody reds to street style. 

This Skirt is one of my top 5 radest skirts, I bought it as a fringe from Nomskii on IG but my creative curiosity and that of my friend Belema took over and we started braiding less than 5 hours to my flight departure over a year plus. (btw have you seen her vlogs? She's doing real good, won't take my word for it go check her out Belema Vlogs

                                                             

I don't do things half-assed hence when I decide to go street style casual I go all out. From my Kurt Cobian which I got for 700 naira at Wuse market, this Traffic denim jacket (I'm looking to revamp so DIY coming up), fringe skirt and white trainers. I have acquired so many white trainers now because of NYSC what will I ever do with them when my one year is over?! 

                                            

Putting together is this look was far too easy and made me realize just how simple this color scheme is after the minimal colors black and white. 

                                     

Hope you enjoyed this quick #OOTD, now it's I got back to work because IRL I have a 8-5 that requires a lot of attention.
