I still feel a little bummed out that the post I originally planned for today couldn’t go as planned because I couldn’t find a photographer but then that’s the thing about life though, when you get to a road block, you gotta find a way around it and keep moving forward.
Isn’t it pretty cool how with a little switch in accessories here and there, you can totally change the theme of an outfit without changing any part of the actual outfit? I think it is!
In my previous post on adding funk to your simple black dress , I styled this black dress with fun accessories for a sporty and laid back look.
If you’re like me who prefers comfort in all things , then you’ll probably want to take a look at that post. I also gave a few extra tips in there which you might want to check out!
This look however is more office/work ready compared to the other so if you’re not so sure you can pull off sneakers with a dress like some of my lovely readers said in the comments they left me, I’m pretty sure this will work just fine for you plus the added benefits of elongated legs because of the heels. Win Win!
In other news, I just joined pinterest proper recently and I’m so confused on how the whole thing works. I’ll appreciate tips please and also if you can show my pinterest account some love by following me too here. ^_^

How to deep condition your hair at home without a steamer or dryer
I love the look with the hat but i wld wear it with the red sneakers. Im not much of a heels & "let your hair down" typa girl ….

Helluurrr soul sister!! Same here!
But trust me, wearing the hat plus the sneakers all together will be too much and will mess things up. That's why I just didn't bother
Right for me! Ladylike and pretty 🙂

You are the master of versatility and style. If I were in Lagos and had a camera I would love to be your photographer. I think I have the basics down, but with you as a subject I'm sure I could do no wrong. Oh well, maybe someday. Ty for sharing Dr. Cassandra.
