What I'm Wearing
Ankara Headwrap: gift from Mom
Earrings, Orange Ring + Teal & Gold Bracelet: ALDO | Necklace: diva.net.au | Brown Bracelet: Borrowed from mi amor
Teal Flower Ring: old | Ankara Flower Pin: DIY gift | Zebra Pin: gift from Mom
Linen Blazer UKFrenchConnection
Cream Blouse: H&M
Purple Pants: H&M
Teal Flats: Qupid from PacSun

I love being Nigerian and I love my culture and all the beauties that come with it. Especially Ankara fabrics and patterns.

The spice that these little Ankara accents (my head wrap and my flower pin) add to my outfit is on fire! I just wish I had more pieces that I could incorporate with my "everyday" clothing. Usually when I get a traditional outfit (dress or skirt & blouse), it's usually too over-the-top and extravagant for school or work.

One of the things on my bucket list is to learn how to sew... even if just using simple sewing patterns to create circle skirts and pants. Once I pick up and develop that skill, I will be unstoppable! *insert maniacal laugh* Mwahahahahahahahaha

What I'm Wearing
Leather Jacket: H&M (gift)
Fur Vest: H&M ($15)
Gold Scarf: H&M | Head Scarf: gift from Mom | Earrings: CR | Belt: Wet Seal
Gold Buttoned Blouse: H&M ($7.50)
Purple Pants: H&M ($5)

You're probably asking yourself, "Did what again?" That is, if you haven't already figured it out from the pictures. I wore my leather jakcet again! For, what seems like, the billionth time already! I don't even try to keep it a secret that I obviously favor certain items in my closet over others. I did try to spruce it up though! I threw on my fur vest over it to try something different. Something "edgy". I need a new favorite jacket. Until then... I hope over-wearing/blogging doesn't offend or break any rules of "fashion/style blogging" and if it does: rules were made to be broken. ;)

What I'm Wearing
Earrings: (my sister's closet)
Gold Cuff Bracelet: (my sister's closet) I'm in love with it...
Gold Buttoned Blouse: H&M ($7.50)
Ankara Printed Pants: (my dad's closet) That's a first! Might not be the last!
Nude Pumps: Enzo Angiolini (my sister's closet)
Let's address the fact that the majority of this outfit is a huge thanks to my family's items! Fact addressed. Haha.

On October 1st, my beautiful country, Nigeria, celebrated its 52nd year as a free country. In honor of this special day, I searched my house high and low for a "school-appropriate" outfit. At first, I was just going to wrap my hair like I did here and here, but those scarves have magically disappeared from my closet. No matter how high or low I search, I cannot find them and it saddens me a great deal.

There are many dresses and two piece outfits in my closet, but they were all too formal for the look I was going for. I found myself searching in my brother's closet, but he's a 34 in the waist while I'm a 27. No amount of pinning would've made his clothes flattering.

Eventually, I found myself in my dad's closet where I came across these babies. While examining them, I saw how tiny the waist was made, so called my mother for the back story on these pants. She said she had them made in Nigeria for my dad but they were too small. Well, one person's "too small" is another person's "just right"!

I put them on and fell in love. They fit me perfectly! They are originally straight leg pants but I cuffed the bottom of them and pinned them to created the tapered leg look.

Ta-da!


Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! It's amazing. I moved to America when I was 4, so Niger was only 35 years free then! And both my parents are older than Nigeria's freedom.

P.S. Ankara is the name of the material that the pants are made out of!
