Red Skinny Pants + Pink Blazer + Loafers

Red is a powerful colour to have in your wardrobe be it in the form of a dress, skirt, trousers, blazer, shirt or even shoes. It instantly changes your outfit from plain ordinary to a chic, thought-out one. I have had these red skinnies for two years now and I am yet to get my money's worth in wears. I keep forgetting about them like my red shift dress.
I styled them with a blue polka dot vest and light pink blazer for an afternoon of running errands and making deliveries for my online shop. My white loafers, silver earrings, wooden bangles and burgundy handbag completed my outfit.

Have you invested in a pair of red trousers?

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 ...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

A Pop of Colour

I tend to gravitate towards darker colours. To counter that, I always look for ways to add some colour to my outfits. Red accessories tend to be my go-to when it comes to adding pops of colour be it in the form of red shoes, a red necklace or some red lipstick. I've started using this same philosophy in life by doing something that I know will give me joy. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Most of the time it's doing something I enjoy, like writing in my journal or reading a few chapters of my novel. Other times it's performing a task that I have been postponing for a while, like clearing out my laptop or talking to a friend. The end result is always a feeling of accomplishment. I look at this time as 'me time'; an opportunity to add some colour to my life.
