 hi guys!!!
I must start by saying it took me every strength and resource I have to do this post, I'm busy with exam preparations and I can't find my wireless modem so I uploaded this post with hotspot from my phone and all of my credit because I slept off somewhere in between.

The thing about fashion trends is that even though you don’t follow them, you can learn from them and translate them in your own way. I think that is what personal style is.

I thought to myself a while back how I didn’t have casual looks on the blog, even my friend zee said she hadn’t ever seen me in jeans before that particular day she was at mine.

A typical casual look for me consists of shorts or pants, blouse or top, blazers or throw-over and a hat or scarf not forgetting the statement bag.

Since I was doing the same today, I decided to change it up a little and have a street style inspired shoot at an H junction around my house depicting a regular day for me.

Imagine a shy person in the middle of the road, it took all my strength to stay put and I couldn’t even wear my headwear while I was there to avoid unwanted attention.

Talking about the headwear, it was inspired by Rihanna, I have for a long time collected pictures of her in fascinator like beanies and face caps with tulle covering a small portion of her face. Since wearing hats is becoming one of my hat-ddictions this days, I figured it was the right time to explore it.

 Though while exploring mine I decided to go for a more traditional inspired look and use a Fila (a male cap made from the aso–oke a Nigeria local fabric common to the yorubas).

What I like most about this outfit is how a couple of statement pieces come together to make art.

The Heisenberg tee, the long jacket, the Ankara bag, the white shoes, the multicoloured aso-oke fila and the tulle over the face.

The tip is no matter how simple, normal or casual your look is, make it art by adding a touch of you.

I don’t think there is one place I can’t enter with this outfit and yes I got a new hairstyle.

What do you think about the look? How about the hair? Can I call myself a blonde?
