Double Denim

Hey everyone!! I can't believe it's almost the end of January, this year is sure in a hurry. How are you doing with your resolutions? If you haven't started yet, don't worry you have eleven months to go. At least that's what I tell myself. lool.

Don't you just love denim and how timeless it is. Point me to anyone who doesn't (well, maybe Steve Harvey) so I can give them the side-eye. I've always wanted to try the denim on denim trend but instead of wearing a shirt with a pair of jeans, I switched it up with this playsuit I got from Asos.

That's a wig, just incase you are wondering. And yes, I made it myself.

RED

Hey everyoneee, Merry Christmas!!! Can't you just feel all the excitement in the air? Hope you all are having a great time today.

Remember this post? It inspired me to dress up for Christmas this year. I've always wanted to try an all red outfit and what better time to do it than Christmas. I was a bit worried that it'd look like overkill but I quite like it, hope you do too.

Merry Christmas again everyone. Please be safe.

What (Not) To Wear to a Wedding

Hey guys!! I've had this post in my drafts for a while now and in the spirit of Wedding Saturday, I decided to post it up today.

I have been to a few weddings and I've come to realise that here in Lagos, as far as the dress code for wedding guests goes, anything goes! I've seen ladies wearing full on club attire, potential reception dresses to white dresses in different styles at weddings and I ask myself sometimes, what is proper wedding guest attire?

My friends and I have has this debate several times, and at the top of the list is whether or not it is proper to wear white to a wedding? Some people think it is, some don't. My friend who recently got married even went as far as putting it in her wedding invitation that white dresses were not allowed (you know that Nigerians don't "hear word", so extreme measures are needed at times).

Personally, i don't think it is proper to wear white as a guest unless the invitation says to do so (never seen or heard of one that did), or you are a bridesmaid a la Kim Kardashian's wedding. My thing is, that's the one day in every girl's life where she's guaranteed to be the the centre of everyone's attention and no one should intentionally or unintentionally upstage or rain on the bride's parade. I'm sure some of you may say is it that serious? how can a guest outshine a bride? Welllll, I've seen that happen here in Lagos. These days, no one plays when it comes to weddings, guests have professional makeup done, custom made dresses. Don't believe me, pay a visit to the nearest MUAs (short for makeup artist) studio on a Saturday and if you are on Instagram, I'm sure you don't doubt me lool.

I'm not bashing anyone or opposed to looking great, most people including me suck at doing makeup and I definitely wouldn't go to a wedding looking like a nun. I also don't think I would get angry if a guest wore white to my wedding, however I feel that guests should be mindful of the bride (and groom) when deciding on what to wear to weddings, it is her day after all. 

What do you guys think?

Black Tie

Hey guys!! I'm so excited it's Christmas again. So far, the festive period has been quite eventful.

My friend, Nneka got married yesterday and the dress code for the wedding was Black Tie. I have never been to a black tie event, so it wasn't an easy task deciding on and finding what to wear.

The full skirt is definitely on trend now, however, it is extremely difficult finding one that's budget friendly. I searched high and low and finally found this outfit at the eleventh hour, hallelujah!!. Shoutout to my friend, Jennifer who did my makeup.

Work Chic - Check Jumpsuit

 Blazer & Shirt - Mango, Jumpsuit -ASOS, Necklace - Primark

Hi guys, hope your week is going well, November is here and this only means one thing... My favourite time of the year (Christmas) is almost here, YAYY. 

I rocked this check jumpsuit to work with a blazer the other day and loved the total look... Its almost unthinkable to wear a jumpsuit to work here in Nigeria but it really is doable... The trick is to find the perfect jumpsuit for work, it has to look "smart" , throw on a blazer and voila. I took my blazer off later in the evening for one of the LFDW shows. How do you like it?

See how Segi rocked a jumpsuit to work HERE
