Two Girls One Skirt



No no!!! I am not giving anybody the directions to my place.
 
Ooooh by the way Howdy y'all.

Your wondering why I am protesting.Well my mail is flooded with requests to come and raid my treasure trove of a closet. Mind you I have mixed and gathered those items through blood ,sweat and fire and y'all just want to walk in and raid the premises. Do such kind of messages warrant police protection??

So yesterday the sun peaked a little in the afternoon and yes I just had to savor in this scarce commodity.In March the girls and I went for The Nairobi Fashion Market and Nelly of Nairobi Fashion Geek  (Check out her blog you will love it) and I spotted this skirt. Yes we both had to have it and guess what the lady selling it had  in only two pieces.

 I fell in love with the band at the waist and the contrast of the colors and what do you know it has this 1950's ball room gown kinder feel that is so Cinderella.

Take 1:
I decided to play down the skirt with a black off shoulder top and added some studs, an envelope clutch and some peeptoe booties to go!
Simple yet tasteful.



Skirt-  House of Hadassah
Top- Thrifted
Booties- Got them off a friend
Envelope Clutch-Toi Market
Ring and Studded Bracelet- Bus Station
Reflector Eye wear- Shop along Moi Avenue


Take 2:
 Nelly went for a white sleeveless tee with her logo (cool huh) and added on a twist of blue with the heels and a Celine Trapeze bag which I could kill for.
 Elegant and Tasteful as always.




 
This is what happens when two girls find the same skirt!
Awesomeness I tell you.
Thank you Nellz for dropping by your the best.
 Adios!
