Its really all about the extras!
– Throw on an outer garment : I’m wearing a kimono over mine ( same kimono worn in this post) while Tracy opted for a denim Jacket instead. Both options works well and sends off a relaxed and comfy vibe.
– Pick out suitable shoes : Of course heels won’t be appropriate but if that’s what you wear on a regular, then by all means werk it. I’m wearing heeled brogues anyways but when I eventually do wear this out, I’ll probably wear it with black flats. I decided to ‘sock it up’ to spice things up a bit. Tracy is wearing white all stars.
– Accessorize appropriately! : Big chunky neckpieces work better for a glammed up look but since we’re talking day and casual, we both opted for simple neckpieces. I’m wearing a simple gold chain while Tracy is wearing a black choker.
P.S – (I shared some other black dress styling tips in this post and this one too)
Planned to wear this out to some art exhibitions today but plans changed and I’ll most likely be staying indoors.
In my next style post, I’ll be sharing the par two of this : switching up to an evening/night look, so subscribe below to get notifications.
Because its as they say : Friends that slay together, stay together. Check out some other double dose of style posts where my friend Tracy made an appearance.
– Casual look in boyfriend pants for your weekend inspiration
– A little chic, A little Afrocentric.
– Retro Vibes
– Something Blue
– Denim Cutoffs
– Here’s a throwback one from my model diary archives.
Nicely done, clothes should always be enjoyed.
I love your shoes, there's something quite victorian about them.
I agree! Thoroughly enjoyed. I'm just outchea trying to have some fun with the clothes I wear.
Thank you Nedu

Lol. You really do like seeing me in heels.
Maybe I'll wear them more, though I doubt.
Thanks enkay, I'll let her know
Good post! I tend to wear more of the daytime look (a tomboy) outwardly but inside there's a wish to Glam it up more … even in the day/office … keep tempting me lol 😉
Cassie, you and Tracy look Fabulous and Killed it with both looks! Job Well Done!
Wishing you a Marvelous Day 🙂
I totally get you Cheri. I'm like that sometimes too, especially after some shoots where they dress me in all feminine attires and I realize how extremely hot I look that way. Haha
Thank you!

Yup your LBD looks like an actual LBD alright. I love both of your outfits. In the day time I'd probably rock your look as I love kimonos but Tracy's white dress with the denim jacket and sneakers just speaks to me.

Hayy, Abike!
Glad to see that you have time for my blog again, now that we are done with med school struggu *tears*

Because IT IS!!!! Lmao
Thank you bebe
I love your LBD for the night and your's friend's LWD for the day…fab combo
Oh, that's not even the night look,
Although it can still work as a night look.
I'll be doing the proper night look in another post
Thank you for the compliments!
Love this post xx
Thank you babe
Cassie always slaying! A single, simple black dress working magic and those shoes…damn lovely.
Cassie is a dangerous babe. Beauty, brains, swag, and sex appeal. After God created her he definitely broke the mold sha. I'm just saying.
