WHERE'S THE PRINT?

        For a self-proclaimed lover of prints, I surprise my self when I can put an outfit together that has zero prints. Seriously? Yes, seriously. I allow myself to get away with it if the look involves three different colors. Sometimes I think my life without prints is very close to wearing all black.  Black is like the top shelf of colors, but the one I rarely go for. That line Jay-Z quips on wearing black a whole year straight! Well, good on ya mate!

I couldn’t come close to pulling it through. I once had a job working at ULTA, the beauty department store; they had us wearing all black and a splash of white here and there. I went out of my way to accessorize with the brightest brooches and earrings ever known to man.

For today’s look, I went all out on the faux. My brother and I took these pictures over the weekend. The weather was divine. I paired my skirt with a grey crop top, threw on a faux leather because this weather is starting to get to a point where at night, a sister needs to be warm. For accessories, vintage Chanel, a nice floppy hat and red heels.

TOMORROW is a big day for Anneconventional. Can anyone guess what it is? :)

HUE BLUE

       One of the many reasons I love fall is that the weather is close to perfect. Should I mention the rusty hues, soft breeze, and…. I could go on for days. The color blue is a favorite of mine, but red sits smugly at the top.  

       For today’s look, I went for a printy-doll dress. I seem to be drawn to them like steel on magnet whenever I see one hanging on a rack. Check out a previous post that I did with a similar dress, here. They are light, flowy, and those tiny little prints just add a merry fun aspect to the dress. The hue blue and orange compliment each other very well, making the bag and shoes superb accessories for the look.

   The fun and merry I mentioned earlier is potrayed on this picture, more like goofing around! I was trying to see how long I could stand on one leg, on a precarious piece of wood that was ready to take me down with it. Notice how  close to the edge I am. LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

THE SKIRT

Growing up I used to be quite the tomboy. Yes I know, its annebelievable… but it is true. I tend to chuckle fondly thinking of those days when I would scale up walls like cat woman. The scrapes on my knees are a reminder of my escapades back then. Well, all that changed when I started my love affair with fashion. A transformation of some sorts I would say. For me it started with the skirt.

            My mum got me this pretty peacock print fabric a while back and I instantly knew I wanted to make a skirt out of it. The pencil skirt to me is the ultimate form of sophistication, no one goes wrong with a pencil skirt! No one!  You can wear them to brunch, work, movies, games, church, literally everywhere.  I absolutely loved how it all turned out. The fabric was quite light so I put a lining in it to give it a more tailored look. Once done, I then paired it with a tee and high-heeled sandals to complete the look.

Thank you once again for stopping by. Have an amazing weekend. 

LOST AND FOUND

I came across some pictures I had taken a while back in Vegas, must have forgotten about them due to all the excitement. Nevertheless, I  thought I should share this casual look I had on. ​

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by...​
