The Urban Anomaly

Now to the outfit.. 

My phobia for mixing colours is a major reason I'm almost always wearing a touch of black
It was the last Sunday and I realized  the semester had gone by in a flash, I wanted to wear something really simple but stylish, so I want for the  monochrome look.

I got this lace top as a birthday gift and I had been waiting for the perfect moment to style it

The flared pants were gotten at a local store and honestly i wasn't feeling it at first but as I was trying on outfits the night before, I realized they actually looked amazing especially since they're high waisted(I didn't have the confidence to tuck the shirt in hence the look, but I'll probably style it that way later)

Finally the heels; these have literally been my go to heels the whole semester and since I was going for a neutral/monochrome look , I thought the heels were just right


Outfit details:

Shirt :gifted

Flared pants:thrifted

Heels:aldo

Style tip: another way to wear monochrome is with a pop of colour, especially if it's a statement piece, it grabs all the attention on your outfit

 

Out fit of the day: 

Today's look was a casual high slit shirt  with ripped denim and sneakers

I was out with my best girl and the weather was something else ( this scorching sun is too real!!)

I went for a casual look because I just couldn't be bothered to dress up. Besides , the occasion wasn't a serious one.

I like how the high slit blends with the ripped jeans and my face cap just makes me feel like some 'bad guy'. I complemented this look with the sneakers which I think went perfect with it. The sneakers can be switched up for sandals.

Till next post guys! 

           VOURDI..xx

 

The name of the theme was 'urban twist' 

 

So we got inspiration from origami and tried to get creative by making our own urban and adding a twist to it. 

 A lot of thought was put into it as we considered not only everyday wear but haute couture too as we carefully decided to cut across all wears ( sports wear excluded)

It was important to us that everything was detailed , we certainly didn't want this to look tailor made as I have noticed that this becoming a popular trend ( where 'fashion designers' make regular stuff a tailor can do and sell it at ridiculous prices) .

Finally we mixed a lot of colors which is a really big deal to me guys ( you know this !!) and it came out well.

The gold top with cage sleeves and cut out skirt

The origami top and skirt made from straw board .

 As symmetrical transparent skirt, off shoulder top and bag.

 

Cold shoulder gown with bell bottoms 

 Assymetrical leather top high waist pants and doll bag.

 

Transparent ball dress

I'm sorry I can't show you guys the whole collection because these were the only pictures I could get.

I'm not feeling the excitement or vibe anymore because this happened a few weeks ago but I just want to say this:

I'm so proud of myself and I'm  writing it here to you guys, if you can dream it, you can do it.. Nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind to it and work hard for it.

This fashion show made me cross boundaries I never thought I could reach, so to anyone out there wanting to start something but not knowing how to..like Nike says .JUST DO IT!!

I really hope you loved my collection , VOURDI will be making waves soon guys!!

Till next post! Have a lovely week ahead.

You lived to see the beginning of this month and that's great news.I'm also really excited because apart from Valentine's Day I'll be participating in my first ever fashion show as a DESIGNER!!( I put them in bold letters just to show you guys how excited I am) 

I really can't wait  and be sure to watch this space for the collection when it comes out.

 This off shoulder shirt I made a while ago with white skinny jeans and heels

Mad over you and party on repeat

Redefinition fashion week

The new collection from ashi studios ( this couture house gets to me)

Thankful for: my friends and family that support me every day, they're the reason I haven't given up yet.

Loathing: the amount of heat in my school, it drives me crazy

lusting after: 

These knuckle rings by indigo lune , I really need to get me one of these or you could send it to me for Valentine's Day yeah?

Wishing that: I had more time to do my creative work, I really need a lot more time to put all these ideas coming to my head in black and white 

The fact that Nigerians don't see fashion design as a profession, also the fact that Nigerians think that a fashion designer is the same person as a tailor

So that's just about it! I hope you liked it. Also? What have you been doing lately ? I'll love to know below

   Have an amazing week!

   With fleek, VOURDI x

How have  you guys been? I feel so terrible that I keep disappearing from this blog because I really love this space ( you know,like how you love a teeny little growing baby ) 

But I'll try to keep it regular and keep the post coming . I'll also start a 'currently I am ' on this space so you get to keep up with me. 

Yeah , remember the time when I was feeling really down? So I got a real pep talk from my uncle and I realized that I probably shouldn't be so hard on myself , good things take time and when they finally come, they last long.

I'm really done trying to keep up New Years revolution because I always have a lot to tick off at the end of the year and I end up feeling bad. So all I want to be this year is  a better version of myself in all aspects of my life, that's good enough for me.

Now to the outfit :

 

I wasn't to excited about this gown at first but contemplating the fact that I was growing out of my other gowns and the gathers at the waist was kinda attractive , I coveted it from my sister.

 I'm all about minimalist so a laid back hair and minimal accesories were a go-to for me and this choice was also because I was going for a 'lunch date' look. Paired with my staple black strapped heels, I was good to go!

 

I'm really thinking I should call it quits with the minimalist look and just go for bold colors this year or maybe I'll just ease into it .

Outfit details:

Dress: sister 

Heels:aldo

Accesories : forever 21

I'm really just excited for the year and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for me!

I'll really love to hear from you guys !

         Have an amazing week!

A lot of stuff has just been going on in my life and I had a few things to sort out too.

Now to today's post..

 

 You see that wide grin on my face? That was for  two reasons 

1. The year is coming to an end and though I've had a lot of disappointments and even more items to tick off my to do list, GOD  has been indeed faithful, in my life greatly. 

2. That was the last week of exams, truth be told I actually like school but four months without seeing my family and exams stress was beginning to take a toll on me and I needed a break so I was more than excited.

 

 

 

This was my fit to the thanksgiving Sunday:

I always put my comfort first  plus I go to a school where conservative dressings are highly prioritized so I thought .. What other way to add comfort and style and still look decently dressed?

 

 

I put on my black heels , minimal accessories as usual and I was good to go.

 

Outfit details: 

Gown:mum's tailor 

Shoes:aldo

 Hey guys! How have y'all been? I've been so busy with school test and all (tryna get 'em grades  yeah!) but I still have to write because I love and appreciate you guys (my readers).

 

Reason for the break? EXAMS!!  

I've got exams in two weeks and since I'm a student before a blogger, I have to set my priorities straight. 

Can't wait to  resume blogging second week of December yo! 

Now to the outfit:

 

Let's begin by saying : this top was Hand 

made by me!! (Lol yes I'm talented like that!)

I promise you this wasn't what I had in mind when I cut up my dad's shirt but I still like the way it turned out.

 

 

Since I was going for a very casual look , I paired this with casual skinny jeans and flat shoes. With my shot of confidence added, I was good to go! 

Shirt:hand made

Jeans:forever 21

Shoes: forever 21
