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.

Open Shop 

 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!

The Broke Blogger

My people my people

Please before you throw shoes and such like things I am SORRY. I have been missing in action.So much has been happening in my life most especially work therefore taking me away from my bogging duties but worry not that tide is over and I am back.

  Do you ever look at some bloggers and go like, "How the hell does she afford all that?"

I stumbled onto a very interesting article the other day about how bloggers are able to afford the clothes they show case on their blogs. First of all let me declare this here and now, I own each and every piece in my wardrobe that is why when somebody goes like " I should come steal from your closet" I am like 'I love you but HELL TO THE NO!"

I work my ass off and buy those clothes well maybe sometimes I impulse buy but I have had to go on a budget to look as good as I do. This broke blogger has no apologies. Tiny secret most bloggers get approached by retailers to advertise the stuff they so they are in business so as you covet also remember they are in business.

I do this  purely for the love of fashion and as a hobby. If it does culminate into something better and bigger I shall take you along for the ride for sure. 

I took this pics awhile ago been sitting on them for awhile now
 
I am all about black and white. It is my second fave form of print after animal prints. This top is slightly oversize so I put a slim belt on it to form me a waist kinder thingy. I paired it with blue pants and red sandals which are slowly becoming my fave pair. Thou shalt not judge me for wearing them so often they are after all mine hehehe!

MOCHA CHICA!
