MATERNITY FASHION: Office-wear

Hello lovelies! I realized that since I had my little angel, I have abandoned maternity fashion even though there are a number of you who are going through that amazing period when you are anticipating your little one. So I decided to continue with that series and break it down a little. Today's post is on office-wear that is suitable for maternity.

Speaking from experience, those nine months were the most trying when it came to making wardrobe choices. It's quite easy to get into a rut of wearing dress-tops and leggings. Below, I've put together more more office-appropriate outfits.

1.Wrap dresses

These are feminine and classy and very versatile. You will be able to wear it after your baby comes!

2. Maxi dress

The beauty of maxi dresses when worn during maternity is that no matter how big your stomach gets, chances are the dress will remain long and flowy and not get hiked up to an uncomfortable length. A striped maxi dress calls for attention and takes the attention away from your baby bump. You can either add a belt or do without.

3. Blazer/Cardigan

A blazer or cardigan worn over your maternity dress will turn it from just another maternity dress to make it office-appropriate. Add a belt or brooch to complete the outfit.

4. Knee-length dresses

5. Trousers

I didn't wear trousers much during my maternity, but there might come a time when you need a change from all your maternity dresses.

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?

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

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
