My Style: Flared Jeans

I got my first ever pairs of flared trousers (I bought them at the same time) back when I was 12 years old. I had a dark green pair and a beige pair and I loved them to death. But alas, when puberty hit, I had to let them go because they wouldn't fit anymore (they didn't stretch). After that, I more or less forgot about the perfect pair of flared trousers until I met these babies. These jeans embody three of my favourite things: they are denim, they are flared and I love light-coloured jeans.
I paired them with this cute sheered top that I bought on a whim and my highest pair of shoes, my brogue booties because the trousers are very long. For accessories I opted for an arm cuff, red beaded necklace, gold loop earrings and a felt hat.

What do you think of the flared jeans trend? Is it a trend that you see having a place in your closet? Do share in the comments below.

CELEB STYLE WATCH: SOLANGE KNOWLES

Hi all!! Ever since I started knowing anything about fashion and style, I had people I admired, people who I tried to imitate in my dressing. Even now there are some people I consider to be my style icons. I don’t want to imitate their style blindly, but pick out certain aspects that really stand out to me and reflect my personal style. In polka dots One of those people is Solange Knowles. I originally preferred Beyonce’s style but there is something about Solange Knowles that I absolutely love. She has a bold style and isn’t afraid of playing with colour. Solange Knowles trending in stripes  I love how she is adventurous with prints, cuts, hairstyles and hair accessories and not forgetting make-up.

WHAT I WORE: ELECTRIC BLUE LEATHER

 Hi all!!  This post should have gone up a while back, but my disorganization will be the death of me.  I have had a  deep seated love for leather for ages . But I am unable to buy anything that is imitation leather. So getting a leather jacket, pants, skirt or dress has been a very slow process.  And lo and behold, one Friday I accompanied mum to the market and there was a lady selling everything leather for KSh. 50 only. I was low on cash at that time but I couldn't resist. I found this skirt and a purple one and I begged mum to buy them. Voila! My electric blue, pencil leather skirt. I wore it with a white loose-fitting blouse and tan wedges (although I later changed into flats) to Church one Sunday.  Outfit Details: Leather Skirt: Kangemi Market, Nairobi Blouse: Bus Station, Nairobi Shoes: Ngara, Nairobi Handbag: Gift I'm still unsure of the length of this skirt. I think I'll cut it and change it from mid-length...

FEELS LIKE AUTUMN

Hi all!!! I hope you’re having a better week than I am. I know it’s only Tuesday but I’m feeling so low I just want this week to end. I’m currently reading a book that is forcing me to look at my life and make some changes for the better. I have been struggling with some things the reality of which I have been running away from. But I’ve come to realize that I will have to face this reality sooner or later. I’ve decided to do it now instead of carrying a lot of unnecessary baggage with me for the rest of my youth. Back to today's post. There are times when my creativity is on overdrive. Those are the days when I'll come up with an outfit that leaves me feeling super proud of myself and makes me walk on cloud nine. I wore this to work last Monday and what a mood booster it was!! Have you realized how your mood is instantly uplifted if you are dressed well? This skirt is one of my projects that  I categorized in my 4 goals before 2013 . I had said I wanted to get m...
