SPILL IT! SPRING SUNDAY WIMB



It's been a while since I've done a post! My style has changed a bit since I left. I've scaled down my closet and  focused on a color palette. Lots of new changes to share!

I'm trying to scale down what I carry in my bag, especially on the weekend when I'm in the city (who wants to carry a huge tote in the city?) Sunday in the city usually have my Canon T3i strapped around my neck (hence the Canon lens cap). I also like to carry my homemade external hard drive. even though I don't carry around my laptop, I can still hook it up to to a computer in cafe or library and upload the pictures if I want to share them. I know, I know. What about a flash drive? I've lost too many USB drives off my keychain to bother with those anymore.

I like to carry my composition book for quick notes, ideas, to do lists and doodles when I'm out and about. I also have my Warby Parker specks and Calvin Klein shades. Quick tip: only carry one glasses case! Rocket science, right? But when I'm wearing one pair, I just store the other.  Plus my hard CK case is big enough to store both at the same time if I really wanted.

I've given up on carrying the makeup bag. I came to realize that I use my emergency makeup bag as a safety blanket. Let's be honest, how many times do you use everything in that bag every time you go out? Now I just carry my MAC Cosmetics Amorous Lipstick and my CHANEL EDT. I also snagged some samples at Sephora. Last but not least, my light grey MK scarf. Its good to keep spring scarf with you even when it gets hot. Sometimes the air conditioning blows too hard and too cold when walking in and out of buildings.

Welp, that's it for today! What are your spring bag must haves?



OOTD - GREY SUNDAY OXFORD

I've been waiting all summer to wear my grey blazer! It was a gift from my family friend Ify Obianwu (she has great style too). I love blazers and sport coats, especially ones that have a boyfriend fit. Quality ones are hard to find, so if you happen to catch one on the rack grab it before its gone!

OOTD - THE SILVER LOAFER








Sometimes metallic pieces can come off gaudy, especially if they're below the waist. You can eliminate the faux pa by keeping the rest of the outfit simple. The item can become subdtle unque statement to the outfit. My silver loafers pair  great with the grey and black in my look. They're no longer overwhelming; but still catch your eye.
