MONDAY STYLIST: 3 WAYS TO WEAR BLACK TROUSERS


Hi!!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I spent mine catching up with my chores and my reading which has been piling. I also managed to do diys which I hope to complete in the course of the week. I didn’t quite manage to do everything I had hoped but at least I accomplished something.
Black trousers are a wardrobe must-have in any girls’ wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. In today’s Monday Stylist, I want to give you three simple ways to dress up your black trousers for 3 different occasions.

1. Working Girl
For this look I chose a sheer top with Peter-Pan collar, a cobalt blue tuxedo jacket and black heels and handbag. Depending on your office dress-code, you can pull out some bright colours to cheer you up (and your colleagues as well). Pairing red and blue is a good way to do this. Add stud-earrings for a simple yet chic office look.




2. Night Out

When on a night out, you can opt to pull out all the stops. I went for a peplum top which has sequins. Wear peep- toe booties in a neon colour, a clutch bag and statement jewellery.



3. Weekend out
For a day spent with the girls or running errands, I went with a loose-fitting knit sweater-top, floral ballet flats and a  cross-body bag.





Opt for trousers made from blends with cotton so that they don't crease easily. As much as I love cotton, sometimes the fabric creases so much and if it's black collects so much lint. 
Black trousers are very versatile. Which other ways would you style them?? I hope this post was helpful!!!

Happy Monday!!!!

WHAT I WORE: Striped Maxi

Hi all!!! I hope you're having a fantastic week. I have just discovered that even though stripes are in, (1) I don't own nearly as much striped clothes as I would like and (2) I really don't like being pushed into a box when it comes to selecting an outfit. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed seeing how other Kenyan bloggers have interpreted the stripe-trend. But I think I'd like to take it slow when it comes to style challenges. Enough said, I wore this maxi dress to run a few errands last week. It was still warm out then so I covered up this sleeveless dress with a purple shirt (I hate sun burn and that sun was brutal!!). Flats and my all-purpose handbag served to complete my errand-running outfit.   Outfit Details: Maxi dress: borrowed from my sister Blouse: Sarojini Market, India Flats: Ngara, Nairobi Handbag: Bus Station, Nairobi Necklace: Sarojini Market, India How do you feel about style challenges?

Fashion trends I'm loving in 2021

I fell in love with fashion as a child and this blog became my outlet. I love experimenting with clothes, trends, fabrics and over the years, I have settled in my preferred style preferences and these play a big role in my outfit and purchasing choices. This, however, doesn't mean that I am averse to fashion trends. I look to them for ideas on how to update my wardrobe and style my pieces anew. While I don't buy heavily into trendy pieces, I will consider and purchase pieces that I know I love and can wear for a few years, even after the trend has passed. That being said, with 2020/2021 bringing change in how we consume fashion - we spent a year cooped up indoors and hence had no need for fancy clothes and shoes - I must say that there are some trends that I have fallen in love with and can hardly wait to get my hands on. Let's get into it. (Photo: Pinterest/ Style Pantry ) 1. Wide-leg trousers I love slim fit trousers and skinny jeans. I love how versatile they are and I h
