Hey guys! How are y'all doing? Blog break is finally over yay! I actually drafted this post a while ago but just sharing it now *whew*.  If you read my last blog post How to style a double breasted blazer, you'd know why I took a break. 

Welcome back to my blog and I'm sure y'all missed me. I missed you guys too.
On the blog today, we are talking about the oversized clothing trend which is also known as the go loose trend. I'm a sucker for oversized clothing and I always manage to infuse such pieces into my wardrobe.

Oversized clothes if worn in the right way can look just as chic and smart as the trendy ones. One thing I also really love about oversized clothing is how comfortable they are. You literally don't have to worry about things like your food baby after gorging yourself on your favorite meal or dessert.
There are lots of options to choose from like; boyfriend shirts, big sweaters and jackets, slouchy t-shirts, oversized cardigans, joggers, and blazers. Big and long denim vests are a must-have too. They are also really versatile when it comes to styling.

For this look, I'm wearing my favorite oversized piece of clothing which happens to be these pants from H&m, a boyfriend shirt, black pumps, and a hat for that minimal look. With oversized clothes, less is more. It is better to keep accessories to a minimum too. The print of this shirt and the quality attracted me to it. I've had it for over four years and this was the first time styling it. I love the pop of color with the yellow wall, the location was perfect and I love my pictures too. Photography was by Zimmani.

Thank you all for visiting and I really can't wait to share my next blog post. It is going to be a life update one! I got some good news for you guys. Cheers!

 Hey darlings! Welcome back to my blog and I hope y'all are doing fine. Long time no blog post. It's been a busy month for me and I apologize for being MIA.

On the blog today, I'd be giving you guys tips on how to pull of wearing different shades of Blue just like me. It's story time on how this look came to life. So, I was putting together looks for my blog shoot a while ago, since I usually shoot about 3-4 looks during a shoot and then remembered I had these blue culotte pants I styled once in 2016. 

The idea to style it with different shades of blue then came to mind. This was pretty easy to put together because I actually had everything at my disposal and really surprising for someone who doesn't like the color blue, I found a lot of blue outfits and accessories in my closet. It was also a great opportunity to wear my grad shoes again. If you are wondering what culottes are, they are large loose cropped trousers and Ive styled a couple on the blog Culottes, Culottes Trend.

TIPS TO WEARING SHADES OF BLUE

• ACCESSORIZE: This is actually self explanatory. In my opinion, my accessories actually did the damn thing with this look. My bag, shoes and rings were the major accessories and they spiced up the whole look. You can also make sure your accessories pop.
• SIMPLICITY: Keep it simple! This can be achieved by pairing a lighter shade of blue with a darker one or a pattern piece with a plain one just like in my case ( Floral shirt and plain culottes).  Don’t create optical illusions with sophisticated prints.
•  PLAY AROUND WITH DIFFERENT FABRICS: This basically has to do with textures. Make sure each of the pieces has differnt textures, which will create more of a distinction between the different shades.
• CONFIDENCE: Now that the whole outfit is set, even if something is off, your confidence is really important. I mean the way you carry yourself is key to any outfit.

This is how you wear shades of blue and still look chic. I'm really happy about the pictures, and location. The pink chair also made the outfit pop. Pictures were taken by my friend ZIMMANI. He takes really amazing pictures so you should check him out. The last outfit is my favorite!!! Thanks for visiting...

Hello my darlings, I hope you all are doing fine despite all the trouble and sad news the world is experiencing. Please take necessary precautions and hold on to God. This too shall pass.
Welcome back to my blog. Todays post is all about styling culottes the chicest way. As a matter of fact, I've styled a couple of them on the blog and you can check them out Culottes and white t-shirt & Styling a culottes jumpsuit.
For those of you who don't know what culottes are, they are large loose trousers and I talked about their versatility in my last Culottes post. They are much more comfortable than skinny jeans, they come in different cuts, lengths, styles, fabrics and prints.
Culottes are perfect for summer and they make a chic statement on their own. I've had my culottes for a while now and decided to restyle it. I love that its highwaisted and the waist fits like a glove. The first color that came to mind while putting this look together was red. So, I decided to do red accessories which would make the nude culottes pop and also find a top that would go with it. I tried lots of other tops but finally settled for this beautiful crop top that was a gift from my darling friend Tiwa. I really love the outcome of this look.
Outfit and hair on point, makeup on fleek done by me as usual and my favorite part of this shoot was the location. The moment I saw that red door, I knew that had to be my back drop for the shoot. I'm wearing the Lady Dior wig which was created in partnership with my favorite natural hair brand NaturalGirlWigs and I believe it also did this look justice. You can shop for N25, 500 ($88) only. We offer worldwide shipping.
The Location of this shoot was the First Korean restaurant in Ikeja G.R.A, Lagos known as HUA HAN. Trust me guys, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing both indoor and outdoor. I met Helen the owner of the restaurant and she was really nice as well. In general, it's a beautiful place with great food as well. I ate after my shoot and was happy lol.
The shoot was fun, really productive as I shot 5 looks and also made a look-book video thanks to my new friend Cisereo who helped with that. May God continue to bless my hustle. I actually wokeup 6:30am on a Saturday morning wow!
Special S/o to my photographer AderopoAfolabi. He did an amazing job as usual. I love my pictures!!! Thank you guys for visiting, I hope you love this look and please drop a comment to encourage this babe. See y'all in my next post. Cheers!!!

Hello darlings! How are we all doing? Welcome back to my blog. Please catch up with my last style post How to wear neutral colors.
On the blog today is this blazer and mom jeans combo. I love wearing casual outfits and I'm a huge fan of sneakers as well. Mom jeans is a wardrobe essential for every lady and it's one of the biggest '90s resurgences. There are a whole lot of ways to style them and I've styled some on the blog before. You can check out How to wear mom jeans  and Mom jeans.
Styling my mom jeans this time with a blazer, turned this look into a polished outfit and I wanted to be extra by wearing a hat.
I actually wore this look for one of the outfits during a style interview and got really nice messages on my Insta story after the interview so, I thought to reshoot the look.
From some of my pictures, you'll notice my tired face and I'm so sorry about that but trust me guys, a whole lot goes into content creation and you people just get to see the finished look. On this day, the sun was scorching hot and this was my fourth outfit change on that day all for content. I'm still glad the pictures came out well and my photographer also did well with the editing. So please guys, focus on the outfit and not the face lol. The shoot location also made the outfit pop.
S/o to my darling friend Thelma for gifting me these Vans Old Skool Sneakers during my last visit to America. My blazer was gotten for N1700 from an online store on Instagram and I'm still shocked how cheap it was for it's quality. I'm not really sure the exact store I got this ring from in Ukraine.
If you have a blog and have styled mom jeans, please drop a link i'll love to read.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you love this look. See y'all in my next post. Cheers!

Long time no style post wow! Hello my darlings, I trust you guys are doing fine. I'm so sorry I've been MIA please let us just blame it on life and being an adult. Life after NYSC has been okay, thank God no post NYSC depression, been taking out time to work on personal things, make future plans and I believe all will be well with me.
On the blog today, I'm sharing this casual but classy look that I really love and will also be giving tips on how to style casuals and still be classy.
I'm a huge fan of styling casual pieces, being comfortable in what I wear and still look really good.
My best casual piece to style is denim because there are a whole lot of ways to style them.
Dressing classy doesn't necessarily mean you have to wear formal clothing. You can incorporate classy pieces into your everyday look.
For this look, I paired my white denim pants with this cute off shoulder top. If you've been following my blog for a while now, you should know I love off shoulder pieces I mean they give me the opportunity to show off my lovely collar bones. You can check HERE and HERE to see other ways I styled off shoulder tops. The white denim pants was thrifted a year ago in Atlanta and the price was such a steal for a Ralph Lauren piece, it was about 10$. Theres something about white denim pieces that makes them lovable.
If you notice too, I accessorized with the colors on my top a green bag, peach court shoes which was also thrifted, a pink watch and ring. The colors are so sweet.
Another way I would have loved to style my denim pants would be to give it some business look with a turtle neck, an oversized blazer and sandals. For my makeup also I decided to keep it calm and clean. I'm currently loving glossy lips.

• Buy clothes that fit your body because they make you look stylish and well put-together.
• Buy well made and high quality clothing. Well-made clothing makes you appear more elegant than cheaply made ones. They often cost more but are better investment than cheap ones.You can shop some at thrift stores like my pants or any online thrift site.
• Please choose outfits with fabrics that'll last like cotton, leather, wool, silk, etc.
• It is very important to buy timeless pieces that'll never go out of fashion like blazers, denim pants, collared shirts, cardigans, etc.
• Selecting colors is key. I'm talking about colors you can mix and match. These colors make your casual wardrobe appears timeless and polished. They'll help you create many different outfits while still remaining laid-back and casual.
• Avoid ripped, deconstructed or worn clothing. Ripped or deconstructed clothing may be trendy but may not be the classiest option for casual wear.
• You can also style your casual outfit with lovely accessories like heels, jewelries, sunglasses, etc.

Guys my hair!!! I love it so much damn!! It's so fine, love the curls, the volume of the hair and lastly because it has bangs which used to be my favorite hairstyle back in Uni. Quick story. I saw this hair on my Instagram timeline before my birthday, wished for it and put it on my Insta story. Guess what?? The hair brand reached out to me and sent me this hair. This made me so happy and I'm grateful. It's called the Teyana who curly wig in ultra volume from NAPPYKULTURE on Instagram be sure to check them out.
Lets talk about photography. I'm really really impressed with my pictures considering the fact that it's my first time working with this photographer. These pictures really made me happy when I saw them. Please check out his Instagram ADEROPOAFOLABI.
Thank y'all for visiting and let me know your thoughts on this look. I promise I wont be gone for too long. Cheers!!!

Hey guys! whats happening? I trust y'all are doing fine.
Happy Easter Sunday and welcome back to my blog. On the blog today, I'll be sharing this all black look and also give tips to styling an all-black outfit.
It's strange that I've never styled an all-black outfit and I actually have lots of black pieces in my wardrobe. I really love an all-black look. They are chic, edgy and slimming. The other times I styled black looks on the blog actually had a pop of color. You can find some black outfit looks I styled HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
Wearing an all-black outfit will never go out of style and it is a great way to make a statement. Theres actually nothing more minimalist and easier to pull off than an all-black outfit. The color black is very versatile I mean, it goes with every other color. It's the Queen of all colors. No wonder why I had lots of black shoes while growing up as a child.
Styled this outfit for an event which I got invited for but was unable to shoot this look that day and later linked up with my photographer friend who took these pictures when he came to Lagos. I just had to shoot this look because I loved it so much and from my Instagram stories, I got lots of people asking for the full look.
The best part about this look for me was my hairstyle and red lips. Made my hair into a high ponytail for a different look with my Kinky blow out ponytail from NATURALGIRLWIGS. The red lipstick in this look is actually my second favorite red lipstick after Mac's Ruby woo. It's called ARRIBA by colourpopcosmetics. This all-black look made my caramel skin pop with the sun and the photographer did an amazing job. It was so much fun shooting this look I really love the pictures from this shoot.

• Accessorize with statement, colorful, silver or gold accessories like I did.
• Make your outfits pop with colorful shoes.
• Add some texture to an all black look to avoid a  boring finish. Texture means including pieces with different fabrics in an all black look.
• Add black pieces that include designs or graphics on them in order to take a bit of the drama out of the black.
• Apply red nail polish or red lipstick like I did to make your all-black outfit interesting.

Hello beautiful people! I trust y'all are doing fine. It's been three weeks since I last published a post and I'm really sorry about that. We all know how life can be sometimes although if you are following me on Instagram @prettyfaze you must have seen all my daily activities as I'm more active there.
It's another quarter of the year and I'm really grateful to God for my family, friends and all the great opportunities God has brought my way.
I'm back with one of my favorite blog series and it's called work style. This series just shows y'all how to be stylish and still decent for work.
So, we'll be talking about styling exaggerated sleeves for work. Exaggerated sleeves are feminine, flattering and could be a show stopper. They also bring your outfit to life. Exaggerated sleeves are actually statement pieces on their own and and do not require other statement pieces when styling them only if you want to be super extra lol!.
Y'all wont believe I actually got my gorgeous top for 2000 Naira. I also couldn't believe it when my friend who is a designer put it up on her Insta story for sale in December. It was actually too good to be true. To cut the long story short, I bought it lol. It was love at first sight!!.
Decided to pair this top with my well tailored mustard pants from Zara which had been in my wardrobe for almost a year and I never wore. Accessorized with my beautiful earrings, a mini bag and my snake skin court shoes which I've had for about four years now and worn twice lol!.
If this wasn't a corporate affair, another option would have been to style my top with blue high waisted skinny jeans and nice sandals.
Lets talk about photography. I was really excited to shoot this look but on the day of the shoot, the sun wasn't smiling omg! and it made me tired. This heatwave in Nigeria is something else. I'm just glad my photographer for the day Samuel & I made it work and he was also really patient with me. Love the beautiful pictures.
I hope y'all love this look as much as I do and would love to know if you can style exaggerated sleeves for work. If you also have links to the ones you styled, please drop them i'll check them out. Thanks for visiting and see y'all in my next post. Cheers!!.
