Style || Not Just An Outfit, Its An Attitude.

 “Attitude is everything.” —Diane von
Furstenberg”

 I’m sure you’re wondering about my title? We’re getting there in a teeny weeny bit.
I’ll also be announcing the giveaway winner so stay with me maybe?

The other day at the kaymu fashion hangout event while I was chit chatting with my friend and fellow blogger Kachi, a writer for pulse ng approached us asking for a style quote.

I quickly mumbled the first unoriginal line that came to my head – “When in doubt, wear black” without giving it much thought while Kachi after some minutes of what I took as a lesson to think before talking next time said -“Never leave home if you’re not comfortable in what you’re wearing”
I turned to her, shaking my head in disagreement while she tried to explain what she actually meant. I’m not quite sure if we finalized on that but we moved on to something else quickly anyways.
She probably didn’t mean it in this way but her statement took me back to the numerous times I had to leave home not entirely sure of what I looked like in my outfit except for what my reflection in the mirror was telling my eyes because my sisters were all off at school and I had no one to check me out to see if I was really slaying like my 
mirror was telling me or if I had to wear the nude shoes, instead of the black. (Can anyone relate? Lol)
I’ll tell you one thing though, on most of those days, I wasn’t entirely comfortable with my outfit but I still left home anyways deciding to carry myself with confidence regardless!
I’ll give you a quick example : wearing pants to my final year dinner (remember that post? Check it out here) at first I felt slightly uncomfortable because everyone else had on a gorgeous dress but did I let it make me sit back at home? NO! 
In my mind’s eye, I was Solange to their Beyonce, I was going to catwalk in there and own it. Can’t touch this. Lol
Also during the Ebony life anniversary event, imagine being surrounded by all the glam queens of the nollywood/fashion industry and walking in with your not up to par clothes. Haha!
I just had to strut my stuff and walk with my head high regardless.
So what’s the moral of my story? 
I guess all I’m trying to say is that its not just what you wear most times, its also how you carry yourself in what you wear! (Tweet this)
When you walk into a room with confidence, like you are sure of yourself, (even if you’re feeling some type of way inside) it will always be in your favour.

This was my outfit to the kaymu fashion hangout event (now you see how that story got us here today? Lol)
Its also another look from my capsule wardrobe picks – remember that post on making the most of your wardrobe?
I haven’t forgotten my capsule wardrobe and when I’m done wearing the outfits I put together from my selections, I’ll make it into a collage for you all to see.

I’m totally in love with this pants, I only regret not buying it in white and black also the day I found it because I wasn’t quite sure I’ll like it and didn’t want to buy all three and end up wasting my money. *sigh*
Anyways, now for the business of the day! Giveaway winners!
I’ll just like to quickly say how much I appreciate every single one of you that read my blog and leave me comments. Likeeee, you guys amaze me every single time! Thank you!
However, I noticed that most people didn’t follow the second rule – which is to subscribe on my blog and because of that, I couldn’t shortlist them for the entry.
The winner of the Ankara skirt is Chiamaka Linda (She was the only one from the skirt people that actually subscribed so I didn’t have to stress for that). If she’s unable to pick up for any reason, then the skirt goes to another person that I’ll pick on my own.

The winner of the 10k voucher (picked using the random number generator site) is Duchess of prideville.
