Draped skirts
Midi length skirts seem to be here to stay According to fashion report. They create the illusion of a slim tall figure. With the length they create due to a clear cut between the upper and the lower body.
When getting one, go for colours that are trending this season.
My take is, buy African print material and get a tailored midi skirt that will fit you well. Also a designer can create a different look for your midi skirt by draping it for you(see picture)
Always be confident and maintain an upright posture when standing or sitting. This will give you a positive self image. Remember to smile. Never forget your heels.The trapped heels are recommended for this look.

Finding your style
Some put style before comfort but others preffer comfort before style. I preffer both in equal measure. Meaniful details on a piece is what is important because that is where we are drawn to look at. Colours we Choose are important. If you love to be seen and are very jovial, pick warm and bright Colours.Just balance them to create contrast or monochrome of Different hues of the same colour use white and black for contrast, Effect.Before all that love yourself.
If you love being in the background and blend in, just wear dull, mature,serious colours. From dark green, to dark blue, to dark brown pop in white to create an outline difference so it can not be monotonous and boring.

Not a working title.
This is the defining moment of my life. I will make it only if i swallow my pride. Its hard to loose something you have used to shield yourself from the real ache that life brings with itself.
I need a gulp if water to make it smooth or maybe a word or two from the good book should do. The pain intensifies around the neck because that is where it should go and not the head.
I am boring that i already know but, i enjoy my company of course that is me.This is not my diary but the exam was quit easy .
Here lying on my bed staring at the cracking ceiling(its safe do not worry) I dream of what i could be doing outside.
Making a fortune from selling my garments from Aila, or holding my chin as i inspect finished clothes in the quality assurance section of karl lagerfield's work for coco chanel. Searching for loose threads or badly plaid waist line to no avail. Who knew international tailors could be so perfect?
Daydreaming was my thing at preteen. I day dreamt a lot more of how i would look like as an adult.well dressed, smart and brave. Well i try but not quit there yet.
The idea is to make twelve year old me proud. Would she look up to me so far well maybe..Never be too hard on your self. Set goals and keep working towards it. If you fail today you can't allow yourself to fail the same way tommorrow .
Invent new ways to fail that is how you finally succeed and become an inventor in the long run.
You seriouly have to make it, then reward yourself for holding on and being faithful.

Growing up : Lady from Africa.
Its been seven months before writing again that means it could be i was busy or i was preparing firely posts.Mostly i was busy. I love my readers so i keep them healthy with gestures here and there.
I 've been away because i was getting back to school.. I am old but not that old. Just old enough to write my name well.
What makes me concerned about my age is seriously being hit on by guys four years my junior. Ist flattering but serious concern black for real don't crack. Some actually think i am younger than they are.I think i will just walk around with my Id tagged.
Its hear breaking.. but what do we do time is the enemy. Speaking of time i need to sleep because i have lectures and a project that is due tommorrow.
Its flattering for a lady like me who used to be insecure..until i got dumped twice on the same week.Do not be shocked it's twice in that, a job interview for a stylist position flopped.
That was the worst pain i ever felt in my entire youth. Then the same week the guy i thought was promising let me go.On the same week. ouch!
So i lied to my self how amaizing that was.
That it would mold my character, learn i am not a princess of neverland(wherever that is) . Yet, it did, somehow. I am learning so well. Because my lessons started earlier
Getting an admission letter to an amaizing fashion school has been the best thing this year and more is yet to come.
Adulthood is when you no longer fear faliure or fear itself that is when you are mature enough to run a fortune 500 company. Its when you care less about being liked more than respected.I love new me.

NO PAIN NO GAIN
Besides crazy resolutions that are being followed till now .I love fashion its infant my career i love writing about it.Let me break it down to where this love story began ..as a young girl i loved to pick lesos and fabrics and i would drape them on me in front of a mirror as i draped them my mum would stare as it would be so creative as i a am told at age four i would tie knots and come up with a dress or a blouse..crazy huh?My favorites were play days with my cousins we played dress up with old clothes stuffed away in trunks.
From then i went through the system thinking i was something else and art would be a pass time thankfully its my full time job.You bet i am a good sketcher i can literally draw anything (but don't ask me to draw you )Art addiction got me several episodes of whacking.cos i ruined my math book straight from class three.It cost me a lot.This is before i beginning..
