STEPPING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE...

I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to styling of late. -Its been a long time coming!

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Mavis. She was so insecure with herself that being tomboy was the only way to express herself. Not that she hated female things, but it wasn't her comfort zone. Out of being a girl with meat on her body and being a tomboy, she got the nickname Missy in school (like Missy Elliot). I wasn't even mad at that at all because I was a huge fan of her. If anything I was humbled and honoured really.

The struggle of accepting one's body after giving birth is a battle. I'm probably still a work in progress but, not where I used to be which my mind is probably thankful for.

When it comes to fashion and styling, I'm very conservative in my choices, but one might say a bit sexy too. -And that is because I'm a curvy woman. Curves can not be hidden. Lol!!

This ootd is me out of my zone a bit because you wouldn't catch me with my midriff showing back in the days or months ago. If you squint real hard you can even see the tiger stripes (a.k.a stretch marks) on my tummy. Love it but, working on that tummy to flatten out a bit is hard. I love my heavy food. Ha!!

The sweat top and pants are from Primark. I got the laced up ankle boots years ago in TK Maxx and bomber jacket from New Look.

I'M A SUCKER FOR STRIPES...

This TOP is officially one of my favourites in my closet. I'm a sucker for stripes at heart, but the boldness of this stripe is everything. There is something about stripes that seem to get me all the time. Plus, it is a timeless classic pattern in my book. My closet is full of em which is crazy!!

I got this chic top from my wishlist collaboration with Rosegal. It is a lovely quality piece which will surely make heads turn when you wear it. -For the price of it, I'm not mad at all. 

Styling-wise, I knew I wanted to style it with a white buttom because I wanted the top to be the statement piece. -And by the look of these photos, perfect (if I may say so myself)! 

What are your thoughts?

Happy Women Crush Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day Beauties!

THE LEATHER JACKET YOU NEED THIS SEASON...

I've been craving for a leather jacket for ages. In fact I'm surprised I don't owe one. Well luck was on my side when the opportunity came to collaborate with Broadway Bradford during their 48-hour Fashion Fix. Like I stated in my first post about this event here, I was given a budget to shop in River Island.

This black belted quilted biker collar coat immediately caught my eyes when I walked into the shop. The details on the coat stood out to me and when I tried it on, there was no turning back. It's a faux fur fabric and I love the fact that it has a double fur trim which are all detachable. The coat has a weight to it which is great and very cosy. In a nutshell, everything about this coat is perfect. -And that is why you need it for this season. It is quite on the pricey side, but I suppose it's worth it. It is an investment piece.

I wanted the awesomeness of the coat to stand out so I kept it simple with the styling of this outfit. The ensemble are basics every lady needs or should have in their closet really.

Let me know what you think and know that I do appreciate y'all.

Hope you're having a good week so far.

Thank you!

ITS A WRAP!...

Thank God it's Friday!

Another needed weekend which seemed like it was never gonna come. Ha!!

Spotting today on the #ootd department is a wrap dress that quite didn't do it for me when it arrived. The soft pink threw me off a bit, but after trying it on, I was sold! I loved how it looked on my body. It is effortless, but also very sexy.

I wore this look for girl's night out. 

Let's talk about my photos. I would love to hear your feedbacks. I've been trying different editing techniques and hope they're good enough or are blogging standard qualified. Ha!!

Thank you...

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!
