OUTFIT: Thursday, 15th December 2011

Today I had to leave the house earlier than I would have liked. It was so cold. I think the temperature drops a few degrees each day because no day is like the previous one. And we can only expect it to get colder until about mid-January.

So today's outfit was mostly to keep me warm than anything else. And this coat, scarf and boots served their intended purpose very well.

I love the colours of this scarf. They always add some cheer on a dull, cold day like today.

To further ensure that I don't run to the market to shop for "winter clothes" (a good enough excuse for me to shop, not that I need any!) I'm using some of my summer clothes and piling on the layers.

I bought these boots a few winters back and I'm actually shocked that they've lasted this long. You see I was a bit sceptical when I bought them as I had always bought my boots back home in Kenya and these were the first I got in India.

I bought this sweater in Ngara on my last trip home. I loved the fact that it's 100% wool!! It comes with a belt too but today I opted not to wear it.

Style Challenge Day 6: Wear A Bold Print

Hi guys. Phew! Last week was so crazy I couldn't keep up with everything, case in point my 30 day style challenge and weekly video. But I just had to get back to it this week. For day 6, I had to put on a bold print. I don't know if you have noticed but I am not very big on prints. Every time I shop, I automatically go for solid colours and if I pick prints it will inevitably be either stripes or florals. So for this challenge, I opted for a more abstract print. I love the colours of this tunic-style top. The chiffon fabric is light and breezy making it perfect for the warmer weather. I paired it with off-white skinny jeans and some beaded sandals. These sandals are a cross between flip-flops and sliders. I haven't worn such sandals in years so it was nice having a change from my usual shoes. I do believe however, that I need to open up a little to bolder prints and consequently add them to my closet. Outfit Details: Top and sandals: Gift Jeans: Thrifted (G...

i2s NEWS: A LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY

Hi all!! No words can describe how happy I am at the moment. A couple of months ago, I discovered that I was going to get the best gift any woman can wish for. I am are expecting a little bundle of joy early next year. I have not shared this news with many people and have been taking fewer and fewer outfit photos for this very reason. So now I can resume documenting this joyous time in our lives. One of the biggest perks about this new phase of my life is that every week my body is different. I’ve put on weight, moved up a dress size and can’t wear some of my favorite clothes and shoes. My heels have become unwearable because of the backache that comes after a few hours in them. I now prefer flats and when I get bored of those, I wear wedges. As for my clothes, after I realized that wearing my old jeans was proving to be too uncomfortable, I packed them away and started wearing leggings. I now have three pairs of jeans whose waistline is still a bit comfortab...

FEELING GREEN

Hi all!! I hope your week is coming along great. I wore this outfit on Sunday to church. It's not something that I would normally wear to church but I had really missed this dress and it was brought home after I had to leave it behind in India due to excess luggage. I paired it with black leggings because stockings seem to make some of my dresses ride when I'm walking due to static. These chunky ankle boots were my accessory of choice together with this scarf which I wore specifically to hide the cartoon on my t-shirt that was peeping out. This is my failed attempt at making a turban. I couldn't figure out what to do with the edges of the scarf so I just made my usual band.
