Denim + Rose-Collared Tunic

Have you ever come across a dress that is beautiful and yet it's too short to wear on it's own and too long to pair with regular pants? I have, and I'm afraid I have several. This tunic is one of them. I bought it a few years back and this is the third time I'm wearing it. I love the flower detailing on the collar particularly because it's the same colour as the rest of the garment.
I believe you can never go wrong with pairing dark-wash denim trousers with a black top and this is what I opted for while running a few errands. I would have opted for leggings like I did during my maternity days but I wore them so much during those 9 months that as soon as I was done I gave most of them away and swore to never wear any in public again. A much sought after (and found for 50 bob in Gikomba!) gold belt created an illusion of a waistline. My black wedges which are great alternatives for flats added to my chosen dark palette. Red earrings added a little bit of colour. The bag, well, I picked it and literally ran out of the house because I was running late and had no time to look for a black one.

What I Wore On My Birthday

30. I had been looking forward to this birthday for months and just as the day drew nearer, I got a bit anxious. I thought, I'm turning 30, is my life all figured out? What about all those mistakes I made in my 20s, how will they influence my 30s? What will this new decade have in store for me? In spite of the uncertainty that comes with starting something new, I was certain of one thing. I had grown up. I have become more confident. I know what I like and what I don't like, and, I'm not afraid of saying it. It feels great to see how much progress I have made over the last 10 years. When I turned 20 I was so uncertain of so many things. But now, even when I might not be so sure about what the future holds, I know that I'll be okay. I will get through it.

NEWLY STYLED YELLOW MAXI DRESS

Hi all!! Maxi dresses are a huge favourite of mine. I recently got a new one and I just had to try and style it differently. It's as simple as tying a knot and pinning it in place. I used a safety pin which I had to struggle to hide from public view. One of the things I love about blogging is that I get so many ideas from all the wonderful bloggers out there. For instance, I learnt this from Megan and Sabrina , two very stylish and inspirational bloggers. Outfit Details: Maxi dress: gift. Similar in Ngara, I prefer cotton to synthetics which cling to you Denim jacket: gift Wedges: Moi Avenue Handbag: gift Loop earrings: India I got this maxi dress as a gift from my aunt and although I wasn't too sure about whether or not I liked it, after wearing it for a few minutes I was in love. Where do you get your style inspiration? Happy Tuesday!!! xo Audrey You can also find me on: Facebook Twitter Pinterest

What I Wore: Zipper Front Pencil Skirt + Animal Print Vest

I was once told that wearing black and brown was a fashion faux pas. Whoever came up with that rule had clearly not seen how good animal prints, specifically leopard prints, look. I have always wanted to add a few animal print pieces in my closet. Over the last couple of months, I have managed to get two animal print tops. This vest is one of them. I am hoping to get a pair of animal print flats then I think momma will be set. I like to pair statement pieces or prints with black so that they can stand out and that was no different here. I wore my treasured leopard print vest with a black pencil skirt with an exposed zip. I love exposed zips! They add so much detail to clothes, making simple pieces unique. For accessories, I opted for gold loop earrings, a gold ring, a black beaded necklace and tan Mary-Janes. Outfit Details: Top: Thrifted (Gikomba Market); Skirt: Botique i2s ; Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi; Earrings: Dubois Street, Nairobi; Necklace and Ring: gift
