Curves Around the World: Casino Night



 

Hey, guys!!!

 

This weeks theme for Curves Around the World is "Night At the Casino".

 

I have gone to a Casino before but is not at all my hangout place.

I don't like casino's due to the gambling taking place there. I feel like they are just bad institutions tricking people to lose their money for their benefit. They are psychologically disastrous especially to those addicted and can kill such individuals and/or  wreck their lives or families.

 

Moreover, casinos promote a lot of drug use and prostitution. Call me boring and/or paranoid, I HATE CASINO's with PASSION :)

I am sorry but they really can be unethical!!!

 

 When I went to the casino people were dressed to the nines and I also dressed up not knowing what to expect but if id go again in future (what for? I really don't know) id ensure I am dressed comfortably and not formal at all - just a comfy clean look.
In that case, I think this outfit would be suitable. Going to the casino doesn't qualify for any of my glam outfits. Id rather save them for ice skating, lol :) 

So, this is my Casino Night Look - qualified??? Definately qualifies :)

Curves Around The World: Shoes!!!

 

Good Evening, guys!!!

 

Hope you all, ok...

Yes, its another post for Curves Around the World and this weeks theme is "Shoes".

 

I love shoes, I really love them :) 

When I say I really love them, I mean: I am always willing to buy them as expensive as they come as long as they are comfy and ugly, lol :)

 

I wear a lot of heeled pumps and wedges at work but it has been a while not heading that direction lately. This is because I am not a fan of formal wear and therefore have kinda changed my style a lot especially for work. These days I wear smart casual or completely casual outfits at work just for the sake of comfort and style exploration BUT, I mean a big But - I ensure its always a polished casual if you know what I mean :)

 

I care a lot about what I present to everyone at work. I hate clumsy people who don't make an effort when going to work and I make an effort not to be in that zone ever - even though I am on this quest.

 

This change has been brought by a challenge I have pinned to myself. I noticed that I don't wear much of my other shoes for work because they are not considered "traditional work shoes" especially for someone holding my Management position in a Government Health Institution.

 

The shoes I am talking about are my beloved Sneakers & Plimsolls (All Star, Bensimons, Nike, Superga, Vans, Adidas, Lecoq Sportif), Boots (Dr Martens, UGGs, Minnetonkas), Creepers (Underground), Brogues (Dr Martens) etc. I have worn some of these shoes previously at work but only on casual days which are only Fridays of each week. My challenge is about me wearing all these shoes every single day in  an appealing smart casual manner to maximise their wear. Yes, yes, yes .... as I invest so much buying them!!!  

 

If I was really working in fashion industry I bet, id enjoy dressing up each morning incorporating my shoe love everyday with no worry to be judged. Its such a hassle mixing these kind of shoes in my everyday looks but because I love challenges I am pushing myself to the highest limits cause this exercise is assisting me to be more creative. I must really say, bloggers and stylists from all over the world on social networks really do come in handy with their new ideas on how to wear anything one is in doubt about.

 

For this post I am showing you how I wore my 6eyelets Dr Martens brogues on a Drizzly Cold Tuesday. I had a Camel Melton Coat on top of this outfit but the rain stopped in the afternoon and the weather warmed up and so, the coat stayed in my office whilst I walked around the hospital working. I don't plan where and when to take pictures when I am at work. Whenever an opportunity presents itself, I take pics.

 

On this day, I came across my colleague Ntembi and she took my pictures. I am carrying her bag in these pictures. I really would have loved taking these pics with the coat and the Fossil Leather Satchel I carried when coming to work BUT I am still pleased though, because the concept (HOW TO WEAR DR MARTENS SHOES) is captured: do you think so???

 

Do you love Dr Martens boots/shoes, Creepers, UGGs and HiTop All Star Sneakers??? If not, there is really something wrong with you, lol .... I am joking guys but seriously do try exploring with shoes :)

Curves Around The World: Royal Blue

Hey, Guys!!!

 

Its that time of the week for Curves Around the World themed outfits - I hope you are ready for this weeks theme ROYAL BLUE!!!

 

This colour is a new black currently from all over the world. Everywhere when you turn your head, there is a royal blue worn. Last Year I have created some royal blue outfits and I have included some of them below for you to see how I have rocked them.

 

For this post I decided to wear a thrifted dress with some accents of royal blue instead of going all out.

 

For this look, I took the pictures when it started raining outside and I completely enjoyed the moment even though I was worried that my phone would get wet.  Thank God, nothing happened: Ntembi did magic to avoid that from occuring.

 

Are you a lover of Royal Blue just like me? What colours do you like mixing it with? I love mixing with other lighter blues. I love my previous looks as well as the one im posting tonight. Your views on them please :)
