DOUBLE DOSE: SUITED IN STYLE

hey guys!!!

Even though i have been going through an interesting all black outfit phase that you can see in my previous posts.

i decided to spice this week up with an outfit post with colours.

it was so funny deciding on what to name this post I had options ranging from so you think suits are for the ball room, so you want to spice up your suits, wear that suit now, say yes to suit casuals and so many more funny post titles.

Suited in style just seemed like the best theme and title to go with.

Before i go on, i will really like to ask if you own a suit, and if yes, where do you wear it to?

for guys, weddings, meetings, fancy dinners and award shows are great options of places that suits can be rocked to but for females, dresses seem to be the answer to all this above-mentioned events.

i got this suit sometime in 2013, when i was shopping for October 1 (a movie that i worked costumes), and it was after my ex and closest friend at that time had persuaded me that it was a great buy that i decided to get it.

however finding a place or way to style the suit to seemed like an issue, i earlier wore the jacket alone but wearing this look together never seemed to work, it always came up as too dressy.

this look/theme could be said to be inspired by the colour yellow, which is one of my favourite colours and the need to finally rock a suit differently.

Casualizing the suit without the converse would have almost been a mistake, it was the finally kick that was needed to  take this look into the casual state.

 i recently commented on sogie of  diva diariez 's blog how i'm all for the snicker's movement.

you all know how my brother is as creative as i am and he really did inspire the snickers look.

this was such a fun shoot and my brother seems to really be my fave person in the world this days as he really does get it(the fashion, photography and everything in between).

so this is yet another double dose post.

what do you think?

should i keep them coming?
