Buy it. Wear it. Love it!!! – My Ankara Peplum Top, Purse and Shoes.

Hello my ever stylish readers, today, I introduce to you a new category I have called Buy it,Wear it, Love it!!! (BWL)  This is my shopping and styling experience brought to you firsthand. I thought it would be nice to share these experiences in pictures- where I shop when I need to get certain pieces of clothing, beauty products or accessories either for myself or  friends and well, anyone else and then style the pieces, items or outfits in one or more ways meanwhile telling you how much I loved the experience and the items.

If you live in these areas, you could probably pop into these shops to find and feed your own shopping desires too.

So last week I had to pick out some Ankara items for myself, I had a lunch event to attend with my family and to be honest, I’m not really the everyday wearing  Ankara kind of person but this time I wanted to look different and chic for this lunch. I decided to go check out this shop called Shona 100%  that only retails everything Ankara from earrings, yes earrings, to umbrellas, shoes and everything in between! Look:

It was fun just looking around and trying out stuff  but you know I have a tendency to have too much fun when I’m doing what I love and this day was not different!

 

Eventually I happened upon this lovely peplum top in red, yellow and black, a front zipper and cap sleeves. The cut was fantastic and the color complemented my skin like nothing else!

Then this peep toe pumps in pink, black, green and yellow Ankara print caught my eye also. Hmm…

 

This purse, not really me but one rule in shopping? don’t say no till you try it! ….and I loved it!!!!

So I settled for this unique look: The red print Ankara top, The pink, yellow, a hint of red and black purse and the pumps in the same color family as the purse. Yay!

Styling it was easy as all I had to do was find a piece to play down all the bright colors. I decided on these Tommy Hilfiger blue wash jeans…it was lunch after all! I added these loop earrings, the gold cuffs and bangles to accessorize and then my favorite red lipstick too…I was in a zesty mood, a nice outfit will do that for you, you know.

Notice the embellishment around the neck area and across the fabric of the top?

Sorry I had to take this call…

Nice nice nice. I can now say that I love every item I bought. Lesson learnt? don’t be afraid to try new looks, you might just love it! and big thanks to my sweet, sweet husband for not rolling his eyes when I asked him to take these photos of me!

Looking forward to my next shopping experience with you all!!!

Hugs :))
