What I'm Wearing
Earrings: Icing ($2)
Tan Tribal Top: Forever 21 (my sister's closet)
Abstract Print Pants: H&M ($7)
Leopard Loafers: Steve Madden (my other sister's closet)

So, all my friends made fun of the fact that on Wednesday, the hottest day of the week, I chose to wear pants. Of course, my sublty argumentative nature led me to rebuttle:
1. The pants were very loose fitting and far from my body in the areas that it needed to be. They didn't make me uncomfortable at all!
2. I actually felt a bit of relief in the pants because they blocked my skin from direct sunlight, so I was cooler than people showing skin!
3. It was hot! And no matter what I wore, I'd still be just as hot.... checkmate. :)

I took another stab at mixing prints and, this time, I added these leaopard loafers that belong to my sister. I figured it would go because it's the same color scheme as my top and almost the same pattern as my bottoms, plus, it adds the jungle effect it my outfit (along with the crazy wilderness behind me!)

Hope you're all staying cool! What's your favorite thing to wear in the summer sun?

Mixing prints (the right way) will always have a special place in my heart.

Day 3: Some girls go at it with gusto while some hide in the corner, whimpering (that would be me). But you can do it, I promise!

I'd like to think that I'm one of those girls that go at it with gusto. I found these pants on the sale rack of H&M. How they got there is beyond me. I didn't try them on before I bought them, but I knew I needed them. They turned out to be slightly awkward (I love a challenge). I couldn't tell if they wanted to be worn high-waisted with a normal crotch or normally with a dropped crotch. So I kind of gave them the happy mid-waisted median.

What I'm Wearing
Earrings: Forever 21 (pack of 8 for $6)
Top: (gift)
Pants: H&M ($7)
Belt: H&M (3 for $12)
Blazer: Material Girl from Macy's ($13)
Sneakers: Keds (secondhand)
Arm Candy: assorted
Clutch: thrifted ($12)
TOTAL: $50
I channeled the very inspirational blogger, Chomy, from The Cynic and the Wardrobe and let the colors take over my outfit and my wrists. I love arm candy!

I love how loud this outfit is! I mixed three patterns: The abstract pattern of my pants, the geometric/tribal print of my top and the subtle striped on my cuffed blazer! I think I did well.

On my way to Goodwill for some handy dandy thrift shopping, I stopped at a corner store to get a Mango Madness Snapple. The man in front of me, a very handsome Caucasian with light eyes, massive muscles and tattoos had to give the clerk $0.50 to complete his purchase. "I got you on the fifty cents, sir." And he said he'd be right back to get it, but I said to him that i had two dollars. My drink was $1.50. I was gonna get the change back anyway, so he obliged. Then he flashed his pearly whites (they really were!) at me and thanked me and hoped he'd see me around to pay me back. It was really sweet.

So as I went about my day, it seemed that everything was just a little rosier. I got one very obscene compliment on my outfit from a man with exceptional vulgarity in his language. I want to repeat his exact wards because that is really the only way that I can display how radical they were. He said, "You are f***ing that s**t up!" With so much enthusiasm! I instantly showed a slight hint of fear in my face and he elaborated that he loved the print, my hair, and the flower and it was so different. I laughed it off and thanked him. It was truly hilarious. I'm glad I had my friend with me to witness this.

What I'm Wearing

Flower Clip: H&M ($3)
Earrings: Forever 21 ($2)
Necklace: eBay (~$2)
Flowy Top: Charlotte Russe, Thrifted ($6)
High-Waisted Shorts: The Garden Collection by H&M, Thrifted ($6)
Crossbody Bag: Coach (gift)
Mustard Flats: Nine West (gift)
TOTAL: $19

When I got on the bus, it was packed, but some kind man gave up his seat for my friend and I to sit next to each other. Then, once at Goodwill, I found an awesome light denim Gap jacket for just $9! Oh, Karma. How I love you so!

Just so you all know, in the past week, I've done WAY too much shopping. I promise I will stop. I need to clean my closet (for the fifth time this season!)

And I'm not just referring to the awesome print of my skirt! I'm talking hertiage. Ethnicity. Nationality. Tribe. I am very intrigued by culture. It's just so...fascinating! I am Nigerian (of the Igbo tribe). I was born in Nigeria and I came to America when I was four. I love everything about my culture. From the language (which I must learn to speak. It is never too late!) to the clothing, to the food, to everything else in between.

Today, my sister told my mother about this blog and she was actually a lot more supportive and excited about it than I expected! (Score!) I had asked her for a few wrappers so that I could incorporate them into some of my outfits and she brought me three different ones with the most beautiful prints. Boy, I cannot wait to feature them in a culturally inspired outfit! She also gave me an exquisite scarf. I have no idea where she bought it from, but it is RIGHT up my alley. Now, on to today's outfit:


What I'm Wearing

Headband: Thrifted ($1)
Earrings: Icing ($8)
Denim Jacket: NY&C (gift)
Tank Top: H&M (gift)
Belt (worn backwards): Wet Seal ($6)
Skirt: Thrifted F21 ($6)
Sandals: Hot Kiss ($15)
Leather Crossbody Bag: Liz Claiborne circa 1990s
Ring, Bracelet & Neckalce: Forever 21 ($4, gift, $2)
TOTAL: $42


These pictures were taken on my university's campus. It has its nice areas, but it is still listed among America's 20 ugliset colleges. (See number eight, Albany.) Oh well. It's pretty when it wants to be!

I went with my sister any my aunt to check on the progress of some Nigerian outifts that we are having made for a party next weekend. Mine is almost done, but I didn't get to try it on just yet. I'll see it in all it's glory on Thursday.

I'm so thrilled with the progress my blog is making. Thank you to my world of followers (all four of you make me very happy!) and anonymous and onymous readers and visitors! I've recieved a lot of support from my friends and a few of them even asked to guest post, which is amazing. I have one friend in particular that wants to do a plus size post (which is even more amazing.)
