Just a quick one before I get into today’s post. Let me share a discovery I made this morning during one of those my nightly half breaks I mentioned in this post. I was scrolling through my blog and old posts when I realized that on this same day last year, I also put up my look to the final day of LFDW 2015 as well! Coincidence Maybe? It definitely wasn’t planned! You can check out that look here and read what my mind was like back then. Haha

Do you shop and piece together how each item you pick would work together or with other clothing items in your closet? I do!
I bought everything I’m putting on (well, except the shoes and accessories) at the same time and immediately knew they were going to come together as a look someday.
Although I didn’t decide on the choice of footwear back then and I never imagined that I would end up styling it with a face cap (of all things!) But what can I say? Never say never in fashion.
I also didn’t know I was going to end up wearing it to fashion week but thanks to my habit of writing down looks I think up in my blog planner, I remembered this and it came in handy as an emergency outfit on that day.
I wasn’t sure what to title this post/outfit but looking at it, I feel like I look like a cut out from the 90’s : Mom jeans, print waist coat and all that swag! What do you think?
I’ve styled this waist coat previously on the blog here and still have more looks in it coming soon!
Oh and for those squinting at their phones wondering why this outfit looks so familiar, let me help you out here : Remember my outfit post on styling your mom jeans? It’s a similar style formula to this – waist coat, camisole and mom jeans but with notable differences in the way I wore both and accessorized.
In other non – fashion news, thanks to all your help with the blog planner survey. I’ve finally been able to settle with three cover design options to suit everyone’s needs.
It will be out soon and I can’t wait to share the new features with you all!!!

Ohhhhh…such goodness! Can't wait to revive my darling ol' blog! #PinkBlogPlanner
Me loving your waistcoat! 🙂
Yaayy! I'm glad you like it! I would never have imagined you'll go for the pink though. You don't strike me as a pink person lool
Even though I put a look together in my head it doesn't always work out. So the outfit looks great…despite the fact that it was an emergency choice. I love all the blog planners. The black one kinda looks like a Bible, lol. But I might just end up getting it because I love black.
Lol! It doesn't always work out right for me too. At least 20 percent of the time.
Now that you mention it, I totally see how it looks like a bible 😂
Thanks Oyinda!
Good coincidence lol and omg the black planner looks so good.
The outfit is cool, love the addition of the back pack and hat. Lex ash always takes great pictures

You have good eyes 😆😆
The outfit is so #coolkid. Definitely gotten an inspiration from this. And the pictures are soooo clean.
The blog planner designs *insert thousands of love emojis* I'm so in love. Now I'm just confused as to which to choose.

Ikr?! Lexash takes great pictures and his edits are always so clean. I can help you decide oh – I know its definitely between the monochrome and plain black shey?
Cool outfit Cassie, I can definitely see the 90s vibe with the mom jeans. Funny you know, I went thrifting the other day and when I stumbled on a waist coat, I just thought that's so Cassie Daves. On another note the black planner looks so good.

Lol! Happens to me too. I'll see something and it would remind of something another blogger would wear haha. Thanks Sarah!
Looking good, Cassie! 90's chic, love it!
The blog planners looks beautiful too. Well done.

That pink is sooo cute, it's calling my name 🙂
I hope you're going to answer the call though? Please answeritt Loool
Cassie you really know how to style your dresses. I imagined myself on this cloth and I laughed. I love all the designs of the blog planner, but I will go for the black. Well done.
Yaayyy! Thank you! Writing your name down now for the black 😅😅.
And thank you! I guess not everything would work on everyone but hey! You never know till you try though.
The overall look is totally awesome….the styling is so seamless and just off the hook…as for the blogplanner, this is problem ooo, I don't know which I'll wanna order..sighs.. But if I have to choose then….I'll choose them all 😂

Thank you so much Tinuke! Are you a pink or black person? That will make it easier to decide 😆
You and vintage are like 5 and 6. I credit you for fueling my vintage love
Lol @ 5 and 6! What can I say? Guilty as charged!

Aww! Sorry about that. It's always distressing when I take pictures only to get home and realize they are all unusable
I actually love your outfit, like dang. Those jeans are PENG. I want one 😍😍. Your style is awesome tbvh. I just love you girl.
Love the look and your blog! Will be sharing with my sis who is in Lagos.

Love your look!!! The print is so chic, so fresh yet retro at the same time, I like that you kept your accessories minimal. I would definitely wear this maybe with heels and let my hair down….*covers face* nice one Cassie. And for the blog planner?! OMG!!! The black and white is giving me chills. I love it much!
