The Style Cheapskate

MIXING PATTERNS

Hey guys, before heading on to today's outfit post, I would want to hint a bit on self-confidence. If you follow me on Twitter, you would see that I take out a few minutes in a week or so to rant a little about random topics. We are in the age of the social media and as such so many people are trying so hard to be everything they see online.

OBSESSED WITH DUKE + REVIEW

duke

I'm obsessed with this lip stain from the Sleek Studio Collection called DUKE which I purchased a few months ago. There are a bunch of other shades in their lip stain collection but I fell in love with this dark vampy purple shade after seeing it on Chidinma of ThatIgboChick. The colour might be a bit too much for some of you but I'm sure you can make it work either ways. I had so much fun creating this look. It is very quick and simple with subtle eyes being that the lips are the focus point.

FIERCE!

Yup! That title was so appropriate for this outfit! Truth be told I don't even remember how I acquired this dress. Probably one of the many gifts from my mum or so. Instead of purchasing new items all the time, I'm styling my old clothes in different ways. You could save a ton of money doing that.

LET'S PLAY

blazer

I've been so busy revamping and pairing old pieces in my closet. I must say its been quite refreshing. This playsuit is one of my favourite 'easy to wear' pieces. Today, I dressed it up with a sky blue blazer and playful coral heels. Perfect for a night out. I had to go for a pixie cut hairstyle as the HEAT in Nigeria is totally ridiculous. If you're in Abuja and need to know where I had it done, please send me an e-mail.

BATIK IN CASUAL

Hey guys! Hope everyone is good. I had an opportunity to wear this cool comfy batik outfit on a nice Saturday evening being that the weather is extremely hot right now in Nigeria. This is just a simple pair of top and shorts but the material makes it stand out so much.

DAY TIME SPARKLE

Ever wondered how you can wear a sequin top in the daytime? Simple. Tone it down with a darker colour, throw on a pair of heels and you're good to go. Over the weekend, I paired this multi colour sequin top with brick brown trousers and strappy heels. Really loved the entire look. By the way, my braids have refused to get old. The older it gets, the prettier it becomes. I'm really feeling the hairstyle this season and I see myself making more of them.

ANKARA DENIM FUSION

Hey guys! This outfit combination gives me a feeling of fusing Western and African cultures. Denim and ankara can be styled in so many ways and this is just one of them. This is a fun, edgy and chic look and you can easily turn any ankara skirt into an awesome fashion item.
