JUST A 'DRESS' & COMBAT BOOTS

Thursday, March 19, 2015

Hi Muffins.

Forgive the lame post title...it was either that or nothing. It's as simple a heading as can be. I didn't want to lie by giving this 'dress' a name, because honestly I don't know what it's called. Bottom line, it's a dress (no one dare to burst my bubble) . But, if anyone knows what its called please do share,  being that I didn't do my research before making this post....oops!

Bought this 'dress' and boots on the same day a few weeks ago...in Gikomba of course. I've wanted to wear the 'dress' ever since, but the heat in Nairobi has been so unforgiving. Even with the rainy season approaching, the humidity is still enough to break a sweat. In the last week though, the mornings have been a little dull and an opportunity presented itself.

This outfit is for one of those days when you don't want to burden yourself with the task of pairing tops and bottoms. Just throw on one piece, a nice pair of shoes, and your favorite antique bag then you are good to go. 

This post has a new approach to the pictures. Instead of using all the images individually, chose to combine two. Do enjoy them.


These sunglasses are dope...probably  because I don't own any brown ones. These are Janets' and I love how they look....it took me that long to see the beauty in brown sunglasses.

Not forgetting this dark lippie which I love so much of late...Signature no. 211. Very elusive but I finally found one.


The 'litu' things that brought life to the outfit.



My friend Janet is a sucker for Saris, which is what she's wearing. I love this shot so much....our nails are so cute---team natural.

      These boots are a must have...they go with anything. Even better, they are pure leather...i'll tire of them before they ever wear off.
