KHAKI AND CULOTTES

So this wasn't really supposed to be a blogpost, but I put it together and wore it to one of my uni open days and was like why notttt, so here it is.
Culottes are also the best thing ever, like they make me feel so free and add depth to this outfit, plus they were £5 from Primark  so, s/o to my sister for thinking of me when she was buying a pair for herself and making this outfit possible. Love that.
Also, can we just appreciate the last shot together pls, shouts to Tash for capturing this. (plus if you know the struggle she went through trying to get it loooooool). So I hope you enjoy this look.
I'm in the process of planning a project where I hopefully showcase my styling skills and actually show more of me, which will hopefully be exciting.

MISEMI Series: Part 3

MISEMI Series: Part 2

MISEMI SERIES: Part 1

This is my first post in a long long long time, I don't know why it's taken me so long to get back to blogging, I guess it was lack of inspiration and doubt that there was really any point to keep on blogging and there were so many delays when it came to posting this whether it was holidays, work, UCAS, or pure laziness.
But it hit me and I'm back, with a better/purer layout (which I still might change) and hopefully more consistent and sassier posts.
This is the first post of my MISEMI Series, which was shot during the summer, hence why I'm wearing sandals.
MISEMI is my sister's clothing line (which will blow in 2016) which promotes 'the new afro vintage' inspiring a new way of developing african prints into something fresh, all garments are handmade by her and in this post the mesh top I'm wearing, she made, I wear it in another outfit I crafted where hopefully you get better shots of it.
I paired it with a pair of black acid-ish wash mom jeans I bought from Topshop for *drumroll* £10 (again), I actually am blessed when it comes to sales, the sandals I bought form Ark for £12 and the chokers £4 from Miss Selfridge.

Soon after this I went on holiday to Morocco where I gained about 1000 lbs :) and I may do a post on that showing all the pictures I took.

INNOVATE NOT IMITATE

Innovating and Imitating style are two different things.
Just because you buy what is in style or wear what everybody else is wearing, does not mean you can dress by any means. You were fed that 'style'.
You cannot claim having style if all you do is imitate.
Some people may say isn't imitating inevitable in fashion? After all the seasonal fashion week showcases tell us what is to come and that's what's in all of our stores when the time comes.
No.
Yes there are trends but what you do with those trends is what determines whether you have style or not, trends do not even have to be followed, stand out, be your own inspiration, set your own trends.
Everything is eventually ruined by trends anyway, trends are a bottomless pit of basicness.
Innovate.

What is style?

  -  a distinctive appearance, typically determined by the principles according to which something is designed.

Style to me, should come from within, it should click without even thinking, I see it as a "distinctive manner of expression",  a feeling nothing else can give you. 
I'm still trying to develop my own distinctive style and give it the structure it needs, but I would like to think I'm getting there, slowly but surely.

Innovate not imitate.
