Suiting for a Dinner

Recently, I had a dinner to attend and styling for a formal dinner is pretty easy. To play safe,  a suit is a better option.  I styled mine with a fancy bow tie, a lapel pin, a pair of leather shoes and black socks.  All pieces should complement. The key I think is not to over accessorize.

It's a formal event and elegance should be of essence. In order to achieve this, using minimal accessories is always better,  remember less is more.

I used Gold at strategic points to help create the classy effect. I consider that to be a subtle way of laying emphasis on the outfit.
The use of a pair of a long black socks was deliberate, the socks just have to be long enough; for me the longer the classier .

So, that is it.  When next you are heading for a formal even think elegance and class.

Blue Indulgence

Having an outfit created with one basic colour could be quite challenging at least for me. The key I found out is to play around with several shades of the particular colour chosen,  this creates an effect that is easy on the eye and more comfortable to wear. 

An outfit such as this is an interesting but subtle way of looking trendy with several pieces all ready available in your wardrobe.
  For this post I paired a blue pair of jeans with a double breasted cashmere jacket and a blue desert boots to create the blue indulgence.

The See-Through

My style has evolved around the vintage apparel lately, well unconsciously and only took cognizance when a friend pointed out. Everything I put on has to be comfortable and that is why I have clothes I tag  " lazy stuffs" I basically wear those outfits around the house, to the mall,etc Will definitely write a post about it one day here. 

 Now, back to this outfit, I chose it specifically because of comfort and I thought it was just daring. Putting this shoot together was  interesting , the photos were taken by UFOROdeCreator, a budding photographer who has worked on three post for me.

The outfit is minimally accessorized with a couple of rings and neck pieces.   

A retrograde Post

Inspired by the tie, I paired up this outfit. Had the tie for awhile now but I had not been able to pair properly so,I never wore it. After I made the post about white shirts and the ease it affords one when pairing, I took a clue and came out with this. But I found it really basic, up until I glanced at the Raffia bag that had been hanging up the wall for some time now.It was a gift that was hard to use but it came in handy this time around.

The Mercedes car isn't mine(obviously) it was just the photographers idea to create that vintage illusion. Posing in front of peoples ''stuffs'' for picture sake is gradually becoming a hobby.

A Mirthful Year

So, I'm officially saying a happy new year to  you on the 23rd of January ,well! its still a new year and its allowed right? I wish you the best this year and to all those who have resolutions , don't let them die quarter way through the year like I normally do, hold fast till its over.I envision this year to be better  than last year although the economic recession is not showing any sign of slowing down any time soon, its a horrible time for luxury fashion, we can just hope to get better deals.

This post was born out of my love for neutral colors. having recently realized this, I decided to  do this post. Strong neutral colors are  easy and safe to pull-off and they can never come out wrong.
I tried as much as possible to have fun with this post cos dressed  in a suit we always feel  the urge to "man up"  and act all so serious. I just would at the end of the day feel boxed up ,I said to my self "have fun" and so I did.
Hope you enjoy the photos.

Thanks!!
