DIY: Little Black Dress

So last week I took out this dress which I'd bought a while back and made up my mind to change it. I'd been unable to wear it when I got it because there was something about it that I didn't like.
So I took out my scissors and cut off about 2 inches and voila! I had a better version of the dress. I'm really excited as this is my first do-it-yourself project.
Winter is kicking in here and the nights are quite cold. I wore this to a party and paired it with stockings and boots, it was a short notice and I didn't have time to get the boots that I had wanted to wear it with. So these ones had to serve the purpose. I added the sweater and necklace to add some colour and not look too dull. I'm looking forward to dressing up this dress in different ways!

How I Learnt To Leave Everything in God's Hands

For a long time (about four years), things hadn't been going the way I had hoped and planned. Everything seemed to be falling apart. To say that I was stressed is an understatement. I would sit on my bed asking God why he would allow so many bad things to happen to me. I would ask him when my light at the end of the tunnel was going to appear. It reached a point where I basically gave up. I couldn't even bring myself to ask God to bless me with this or that. I would often say to myself, "What's the point? My prayers won't even get answered. Something bad is still going to be waiting for me around the corner no matter how hard I pray." I knew all the teachings that we should always have faith in God. I would often recall that hymn that comes from Isaiah 49:15, 'Can a mother forget a baby at her breast and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will never forget you.' And verse 16 of the same chapter, 'See ...

Style Challenge Day 19 - Belt your outerwear

Day 19 of 30. I confess that I have reached that point in the style challenge where I am quickly running out of new styling ideas hence the multitude of black dresses that I have featured. I love wearing black and now that I need to start coming up with outfits that feature a lot more colour, I have to really rack my brain. Back to today's outfit. Lately, when it comes to outerwear, I have been gravitating towards cropped jackets and coats. But I still have a few longer ones like this army-inspired, khaki green, sleeveless jacket being one of them. I absolutely love wearing it with dresses and this black chiffon midi dress was no exception. Of course I went for black accessories with the black belt worn over the jacket, black patent leather pointy-toe flats and black earrings. What do you think of the outfit? Is belting your outerwear something that you would do? Do share in the comments below. Outfit Details: Dress and jacket: Thrifted Belt: old Shoes: Bus Sta...
