There’s something about white spaces that just pleasing to the eyes.
Mix that with high ceilings and a wall adorned by beautiful artworks and you have me sold.
That was the sight that greeted me when I walked into the art twenty one gallery located at eko hotel, housing the ‘Elsewhere’ exhibition by some brilliant African and European artists.
The display ranged from painting to photography, collage, found art and sculpture.
My favorite was Joseph Eze’s tribal vuitton paintings (The paintings I’m posed beside in the pictures above). I’m not sure why but there is something familiar about the paintings. Maybe its the thread hairstyle that most of the ladies in the paintings are sporting, the fat lady that looks like the stereotype of a market woman (Oh, btw she’s wearing LV earrings. Lol) or the young guy with green crown that reminds me of an old friend. Whatever it is, I can totally see one of those frames hanging on my wall.
I’ve been to this gallery twice. The first time I went with my partner and I really couldn’t trust his creative eye to take the sort of pictures (sorry boo) I wanted so I turned my camera (phone though) on him instead, edited them with vscocam and ended up with a really dope set of pictures which gave me the bright idea to go back and do a retake with me in the pictures this time, in a sort of art meets fashion thing.
My friend Oge helped with the pictures, its unfortunate that she isn’t really active on social media but she was also the photographer in
this post and
this post.This outfit was something I quickly put together that morning and the choice was mostly determined by the fact that I wanted to shoot another long overdue post wearing my denim shirt and white platform sneakers and didn’t want to carry a big bag to put the change of clothes so I wore the denim shirt, picked out denim jeans as well and put on the sneakers. Problem solved!
I really like the way it turned out though, I looked super cool.
You can never really go wrong with double denim anyways.
I went to see a movie and was still seriously shivering despite the fact that I was wearing a denim shirt, I was so thankful I grabbed my pink retro blazer before stepping out.
What do you think of this look?
The exhibition is still on till september, in case you’ll like to drop by and check it out.
P.S – Thank you all so much for the feedback on my
previous post, my network has been messed up of recent so I haven’t been able to properly reply the comments but I’m reading them and I appreciate you all!

Thank you Damie
I went through all the comments hoping someone will say it's red. Oh well…. I guess it's my phone resolution.
You're welcome.
Art is really amazing & beautiful. Love your combo….. Just perfect. Ah! The way you put the blazer on the bag adds another beauty to the whole look. I really love it. And the background is just too beautiful to ignore…. Art is too beautiful to ignore.

Sometimes I wish I can draw/paint (Actually, all the time. Lol)
Thank you! My bag was too small for the blazer to fit in, so I just it over the bag. Hehe

Never ever, although I feel like it has been over abused so I'm always a bit reluctant to go the double denim way but this worked perfectly. .
We'll be here to receive you when you come ^_^

In one of the pictures it did look red so Damie you are OK. Girl you look gorgeous and I love the blazer over the bag effect, sometimes the little things we don't plan just work out so well. Loving the double denim look. Your hair really suits you *not the first time I'm noticing it *
