The Style Cheapskate: lace

COLOUR BLOCKING TO LUNCH

Believe it or not, the two items I wore in this post are quite old. The chiffon blouse I've had for about four years and the skirt was tailor-made which I've had for well over a year. I styled it once here . Never thought of pairing them together but I did and it was perfection. Who knew blue and green could look so good together. I really want to make more of these lace skirts in different colours. They go with anything.

WHITE OUT

church

I know right? I love this dress too. SheIn sent this to me recently and it was love at first sight. Shipping was exceptionally fast on this one. Got it in less than two weeks and in good condition of course. The white lace over the black material is pure perfection. The floral pattern of the lace is beautiful and the entire dress itself has a good quality feel to it.

FLOWY LILAC

blonde

This beautiful dress was made for me by my seamstress and I fell in love at first sight. I bet you didn't know it was tailor made right? Yup. So did everyone who sighted me wearing it. My aim was to recreate this ASOS dress HERE and I think we did well making a dupe. I knew I had to wear it to a wedding first so I did so last weekend. Its a pretty combo of lace and chiffon plus the lovely colour especially on my skintone is simply amazing. You know you can always put your left over lace materials to good use no matter how small it is. Take a cue from this.

Hey guys, how are y'all doing? Hope your week has been awesome so far.

I haven't done any shoots recently as I haven't been in the right frame of mind to do so. If you follow me on social media, it wouldn't be news that I lost someone very close to me.

LEMONADE

braids

Few months ago, I saw this dress on On-Air Personality, Toke Makinwa and I knew I had to have it. I really had to. So I purchased it from PayPorte a while back. It was the first time I shopped on that site and its safe to say that I was not disappointed. I love this dress, love love love it.

GO GREEN

braids

Lace co-ordinates are so in right now. I had mine sewn in a gorgeous emerald green colour and the material is pretty inexpensive. For additional colour, I went for these cute coral bow shoes. I really love how the two colours look together plus I'm obsessed with my new braids.

CHIFFON PATCHWORK

daylook

Happy New Year darlings! May the year 2015 be good to every single one of you.
For most of you who don't know, this dress was sewn. Yup, you heard me, sewn! Big up to my tailor, she's amazing. When I have something in mind, I usually don't stress about finding it readymade. I just design and have someone bring my idea to reality. I got inspired to make this dress because of the lace details attached to the neck and sleeves.
