Though, I have a “hair and beauty‘ segment, I’ve only ever done a hair post once here. One of my hair styles to do this year was the pixie cut. It has actually been on my mind since last year but I can sometimes be a creature of habit and tend to always fall back to my trusted twists or box braids.
I finally decided to go a bit out of my comfort zone and went with the pixie cut you guys chose from me – remember I asked for your opinions in this post? See, I listen to you guys! Lol
I didn’t like it at first – actually still not a big fan of the hair. For some reason, I feel a bit awkward in it and was going to take it out at some point but I’ve gotten so much compliments that I’m slowly warming into it, so thanks guys!!
Mine is braids!
Like I mentioned in this post on the power of the extras in making an outfit , most times what takes an otherwise laid back outfit from just there to really cool is how well you can infuse your style into it and jazz it up with some extras. Also it’s not just about the outfit sometimes too, attitude comes ing to play too – wrote about this here.
I could have worn this sleeveless tee with the pants and flats/heels but I wanted to infuse a bit of me into the look and spice it up a bit so I added the touch of the pink blazer (also styled here, here and here) draped over my shoulder and the white sneakers.
One of my pet peeves is seeing people wear full length pants with their sneakers ( when the leg of the pants is in continuity with the shoes) , I just feel it looks better when there’s a little bit of ankle skin showing and for that reason, I’m always rolling up my pants if its too long.
Asides from that, I think folding the leg of your pants also gives off a really cool vibe too.
I got this tee from my then room mate and I’ve styled it once here. I didn’t fall in love with it till recently and now I just can’t stop wearing it! It doesn’t hurt that its also perfect for our current weather.
This was what I wore out this past weekend, but before that, I also wore it some weekend ago in the past to the cinema except that I paired it with my white sandals from this post instead.
It later hit me afterwards how much better it would look with my white sneakers instead and I wanted to give that a try. It worked just like I visualized it would!
Shot this two days after with the rain trying to rain on our parade but my photographer was resillient lol. I ended up spoiling my shoes later on that same day so now I’m hunting for new white kicks *sigh*
What’s on your weekend to do list and what do you have planned for fun?
As always, Let’s connect!
New look! I have no go to style.. I seem to get tired of them every now and then but I'll just say twists. I was going to say I want your sneakers but it's gone now. Lol.

I don't know why I just love braids so much – maybe because its fuss free and I can carry it forever loool!
Somebody didn't take rainy day photos!
Oh well, maybe next time.
I'm having a blast this weekend with my family for my sister's graduation in Alabama!!!
BTW the hair suits you. Doubt I'd look good with a pixie.

*covers eyes* Thank you!
I was going to comment on your last post and say how much happier you seem to be because of the relocation! I can see that you're really enjoying being around family.
You no longer look like a Chinese boy lol. The hair looks good on you. My go to hairstyle is fringe or bob box braids.
The tee is so weather appropriate..like the heat won't kill.
The blazer jazzes if up and I like. You look amazing, won't change anything bout the outfit.. it's in my Lane.
Aww Pele, it's died for a good purpose (the sneakers I mean)
Me I have class today, so the weekend is already gone *sighs*

loool. I don't feel i look like one anymore too. I used to be obsessed with fringe once oh – back in my 100 level *sigh*
Thank youuuu! Aww, sorry about the class – weekend classes are the worst honestly
Sorry about your shoesοΏ½οΏ½
Love the look especially the addition of the pink blazer!!
The hair is really fine and no you don't look like a Chinese boy..
I want to try more braids that I would like and faux locs although the pain is making me rethink that
so sad :(, thank you.
Let me guess, you're natural right?
{Guy} Though it hid your beautiful forehead, it's a stunner. I like it but, darn, I like your forehead more.
My kind of look. Casual and chic

Finally! Someone who loves to fold the legs of her pants. I'm a huge fan of it but you know Ilorin people could be overly dramatic. You look really great by the way.

Cassie this hair is made for you.fell in love immediately I saw it on IG.short hair sadly irritates me and gives me maximum discomfort so I don't bother with it.But hey,it looks amazing on you.
Am aiming for red braids next and am so getting it.
Your outfit btw is dope and I like that you paired it with the blazer.the rain also gave it a very nice vibe.
Beautiful pictures…love it

Nice hair, you look different and cool .. My go to hair style is braids.. A bit of ankle skin totally knocks off style look.. Nice pictures and cool blazer, it's definitely a pop. Next hair look for me should be medium bob braids, trying brown colour all through..
Nice new look.. You look different but still cool.. My go to hair style is braid or we just leave it frofro, next hairstyle is bob braid medium length brown hair colour all through.. Beautiful pictures ππ your blazer is more than extra it's a poppop, white knickers with bit of ankle skin πΈπΈ..
Loveeeeee this look on you especially the infusion of the blazer. I'm not so brave with trying new hairstyles. Box braids or twists does it for me. I've never made short hair or fringe before but I'd definitely like to try. Btw, sorry about the shoes.
Definitely the pixie cut on my list. Looks great on you. I Love how chic your outfit is and you killing that choker. Great shots.

Have a great week.
Well i'm usually doing anything & everything with my hair, my colleagues are tired of me.
But if any style is more frequent for me, it has to be the simple side-part bob, followed by box braids, but i'd try anything..
Love love love the pictures.

You look good! Love the shot. Well, I love pixie cut but I'm scared I'll look like a chinese boy too basically cos I believe it will not fit my face frame. My go to style is not making my hair lol (teamnatural like they say)
