Outfit || Noir x The Power Of The Extras.

Recently, I found myself thinking about how the personal style of an individual can influence the outcome of an outfit. Most times, its really more about how you wear an outfit and not so much the outfit itself.
You can give three people the same clothes and they’ll all come up with different looks depending on what their personal style is.

I also got to thinking of how sometimes, its the little things that make a look – that take it from bleh to yass girl!
Not everyone understands the power of the extras and when I say extras – accessories play a huge role but I’m not referring to just how you accessorize a look alone, but to the extra details that add that little oomph.
Even the slightest things like folding up the arm of your t-shirt or the leg of your pants to show a bit of ankle can give the outfit a different vibe. Your hairstyle inclusive can give a look a different vibe.

I find that what differentiates someone who loves “fashion” from the average person who thinks that clothes are just to cover up is the lack of personal style and also because they don’t know about/ haven’t understood the power of the extras.

In this post, I took a basic outfit – black jeans and tee and totally owned it because I’ve both figured out my style and I understand the power of the extras.

I got this T-shirt from my friend as my birthday gift and I fell in love with it at first sight! It was just perfect for me – inscription & all and I knew I was going to style it with black pants first : cliche right? That’s where the extras come in to jazz the outfit up a bit and also add a bit of “me-ness” to the overall look, I rolled up the sleeves a bit, threw on this black hat, sunshades, statement neckpiece and my leather jellies from this post.

I could throw on a slightly oversized black denim jacket over this, with heels and give it all a totally different look.
Just thinking about it all has given me another idea on how to style this tee and I’ll be sharing that look on the blog soon ^_^
