This outfit had been featured on my instagram sometime in the year, but I couldn't bring myself to blog the look nor the dress for lots of reasons. I was officially having one of those moments in my life that i just hated what I looked like. Don't get me wrong when you see me I come off all confident looking, a skill I've mastered over the years from being a lector in the church to being a consultant to businesses and language schools. Now this dress is my creation and nothing could have made me more proud than to flaunt it on the blog, but at the time I wore this outfit I couldn't zip up the dress even if I was deflated with whatever is used to deflate things. Yanno.

So I decided to re-do the shoot et voila !!!!. Like I said previously, the reason it was never posted on  the blog until now is because I've been pretty self conscious of my arms. They are massive and I love to flaunt myself in as little clothing as possible during the spring/summer, but because of how I feel about my arms, I always have to come up with creative ways of making them not seem obvious, birthing the creation of this beautiful lilac spring floral dress with an off-shoulder design.
So we could say my arms were the inspiration for this outfit. The peplum hemline is one trend that I want to maximise to the fullest. It is such a chic trend that can make you go from a 0-100 like in seconds. The style could easily be worn as a summer number in florals and bright colours to a work outfit in monochromes.

This is a style that you could play in so many ways in loose fitted dresses as seen by Victoria Beckham whom I adore and love to midi dresses pictured above.

                                       Which is your style

For me I find that peplum hemline dresses look better with pointed toe high heels while I would totally rock a lace peplum in high heeled strap sandals and for accessories, I would go with this clutch purse and suede pumps in green. And lastly jewellery from juliettsstyleglam in grey crystals and Affirmative rose gold mirrored sunglasses at a 20% discount with code "juliet"


                                 Do you like the peplum trend and why?

Here's sending some magic pixie dust your way,

If you know me you know that when it comes to tapered pants or Banana pants, I'm team #ME all the way.
How are you all doing guys, it's awesome being back. The transition is still gradual though. Stick around and follow me on Instagram as I'll be updating you guys on where I've been all this while.

I think over time we've seen the tapered pants evolve from the simplest here to the most complicated. This fashion trend which started in the 80's  otherwise known as Banana pants ( my gawd, who would have thought I would be honouring 80's fashion trend? It was never my fav era) has held me spell bound especially because of the illusion it gives the body read post on that here. These pants are usually characterised by a wide trouser legs and narrowed at the bottom.

This trend has been on our fashion runways this spring/summer and designers did not fail to deliver. It comes in plaids or checks, leather you name it. Mine came with an elastic waist band and belt loops and narrowed at the bottom with elastic as well. Gosh the fit of these pants I can't deal. It was like it was made for me to perfection.

I snagged this piece from Mango and let me tell you guys, that store is the real deal. Their pieces are quite good quality for the prices and while everyone is running to Zara to snag a piece of something, I would readily breeze into Mango and lose myself there ( I cannot come and go and kee myself)

I decided to combine mine with this lovely satin silk top in grey and added colour with that green pastel belt which I will be rocking till it begs me to allow it die and it actually inspired my eyeshadow  colour for this look. I decided to go with these nude pumps by BCBG styled here, here, here and here and nude bucket bag seen here from Cherry Paris.

You could style this pants with a very colourful floral shirt or blouson, go risqué with an oversized debardeur and layered jewelry. The possibilities are endless.

                                           What do you think ?

I really appreciate you all and as always do leave some pixie dust on your way.......

Bisous,
xoxo
