On Turning Twenty Three x A Style Post.

The Obligatory Birthday Post. 

So, Hi guys. 
Guess who is 23 now?!

I don’t feel any different though. Is there meant to be a different feel? A sort of euphoric feeling maybe?

Nah, I still got nothing.
But hey, It really is amazing you know. This growing old thing. I remember being 16 and lying about my age because I didn’t want to be so young. Good old days! Haha

But you know what? I think I’m good. 

On most days, I’m excited about my future and everything that’s still yet to come so I’m good. And super thankful.

I’ve celebrated four (like wow!) birthdays with you all here on the blog and that’s just one of the many things I have to be thankful for. Thank you all so so much for sticking around with me for this long! If you’re new here, please join the fun and say Hi Over here.



Last year, I wrote a birthday wish list here and for the most part, I still want most of the things there. Just in case anyone is feeling extra and wants to show me some love.
Otherwise, you can just show me some love by sharing the blog and I’ve made it easy for you. You can just click to tweet! Also follow me on twitter while you’re at it ey?

Ah now, to the outfit!

So, I took these pictures back when I was in Atlanta. Definitely didn’t plan to do a birthday shoot like I did last year and I didn’t realize these pictures were going to come in handy today till I was going through my memory card looking for any happy profile shot of myself to use for this post.

I dressed up one day, threw on my heels and nagged my cousin into helping me take these shots. I haven’t worn this outfit out yet and maybe I should do that today? If only the skirt didn’t fly up so much with the wind. I love skater skirts but why do I have to spend all my time worrying about it flying up and reducing my bride price?
Especially in this Nigeria of a country where people are steady judging.

I got the shoe as a birthday gift last year and immediately I got it, I knew I would be styling it with this top in the nearest future. The top is actually a peplum but I folded that part in to give the illusion of a crop top. I really love the print and how vibrant it makes the whole outfit look. I styled it with my orange skirt from this post also and that banged equally! Maybe I’ll do an outfit post of that look next year.
But in the meantime, let me know your thoughts on this outfit and how you would style it differently!
P.S – I’ve styled the blue skirt previously here and here. Check them out! 

Oh back to birthday bants. if you’re signed up to my mailing list, you would know that I got a big surprise that will definitely make this birthday weekend a memorable one for me.
If you follow me on instagram also, you would have seen when I posted about how I just wanted to create content and get paid to travel. Seemed like just bants but few weeks later, I got an all expense paid blogger trip to Abuja. Look at GOD! Definitely thankful for all wins – both big and small.

Going to Abuja courtesy of the Dunes Center Abuja tomorrow for the launch of their luxury fashion and art floor. I can’t wait to share with you guys the experience and all I get up to!

It will be my first time in Abuja, I doubt I’ll have much free time to go around but if you’re Abuja based and happen to be around dunes at any point , say hiii!
I’m off to go change my age in my bio haha.
Lets connect!
