Dear Diary,

I’m dedicating this outfit to one of my favorite television sitcoms growing up: That 70s Show.  I still remember the lyrics from the theme song, haha.  I am such a lover of flare pants, especially this pair from urban outfitters. I have had it for over three years. Not only is it comfortable, and fits perfectly, but it has not stretched out even once! I paired them with a green plaid shirt, and rather than going the platform heel route, I opted for my trusty Chuck Taylor sneakers.  Casual and groovy!

Dear Diary,

If all else fails, pull out your black on black number. Despite all my colorful posts on the site, I tend to wear black every now and then. Who doesn’t look good in black? It is one of the easiest combinations to pull off. Go try it.

Dear Diary,

If you are in the Los Angeles area, you do not want to miss the “Louis Vuitton Series 2”. It’s an exhibit with 8 rooms,  showcasing the Fashion house’s past, present, and future.  It’s always great when an iconic brand is able to create an opportunity for the masses to enjoy, and explore their work. If you are unable to make it to the venue, not to worry.  Sit back, and live vicariously through my images.

Dear Diary,

Can I tell you a secret? My outfits are rarely planned. This look came together in less than 2 minutes, and I am not exaggerating. How I do it? Try not to take yourself too seriously, and the rest comes naturally. The brush stroke stripe shirt is a hand me down from Ghana. Courtesy of my male cousin. The bottoms are also my female cousin’s  old track shorts. Would you believe me if I told you they were going to discard these pieces? Plus, who said you cannot incorporate a sportswear piece into your everyday wardrobe? Madness!

Dear Diary,

I am so glad to have made it to another year, and even more thankful to my subscribers and avid viewers for tuning in. Fasten your seat belts, because 2015 is going to be an exciting one on the site. Moving on to my look, it’s a rarity to find me in a mini dress that is also body conscious. It has to be one or the other. I always have to add accessories that will allow you to focus on the look as a whole, and not how tight or short it is.

PIXIEMARKET knit snood (try this,it comes in different colors) , H&M neon dress (try this), NEW LOOK block heel gladiator sandals (as seen here,try this, can choose to wear with or without black socks).

 

Dear Diary,

Something you are not used to seeing. I am a huge fan of turbans, but for some reason it has never been featured on my site. It’s a very convenient accessory for a bad hair day and it shows off my features.

Dear Diary,

When a beret and a flowy floral print skirt with some chunky tribal wrist beads decide to have a baby, it will be a French-Bohemian.
