STYLE - OOTD ; CROP TOP X MAXI SKIRT


Happy New Month and Happy New week! Today's OOTD is one that I am so happy and eager to share. So two weeks ago while I was multitasking ( watching the grand finale of project fame season 9 and ironing my turtle neck gown) it was the grand finale! I couldn't miss it and hey, I wasnt sure of power supply, so I make good use of light when it comes. To cut the long story short, I forgot to turn off the iron as I ran off to watch as Okiemute Ighorodje was being announced winner. Before I realized what was happening, the electric iron had taken a better part of my dress *Screams* sobs*

I was so pained, because I have won the dress HERE it fits well on me and I love turtleneck, I couldn't let go the outfit, because I loved the fitting on me. So I had to come up with something. Lucky enough,the dress got burnt at the lower part, so I decided to apply my new skill (sewing) yes! I am learning how to sew simple dresses. I cut the dress into two, discarded the part that was affected and converted the upper part into a crop top. I paired the Outfit with a Maxi Flower patterned Skirt that my Mum got for me from one of her conference trips to Abuja.
I rocked this outfit to shoot my video for #LindaIkejiMedia #Vjsearch2016.

Share with me, how will you transform a damaged dress to a reusable one?

    Hi Uju
    You look good, I'm glad you were able to revamp your dress. I'm just envious of people that know how to sew sha. I seriously need to take sewing lessons.

CULLED FROM MONDAY RANDOM - WHAT IS ON FLEEK

  Good day lovelies and a Happy Easter celebration, hope you all had a wonderful time out? For me it was food all the way, I hope to bring my culinary expertise here soon. So back to the matter, WHAT IS REALLY ON FLEEK? Sounds like a Rhetorical question and a direct question. Lately on Social Media the phrase, slang or word   fleek and the question what have you got on fleek has been trending, as Social media has become the new world paradigm, it would be very difficult for you to cope if you don’t understand the trends. I first heard the word, fleek from Boity Thulo a South African presenter on club 808, as I was still trying to figure out the meaning and where it came from, I saw a very funny caption from my Fashion Entrepreneur friend UREZ of UREZ KULTURE. I am dedicating this post to her, because she inspired it with this funny question on BBM                                   ...

Have you always desired to get QUALITY education and to get it outside the country at a very affordable Fee? Hi people, sometime last week in Lagos, I was at a book launch, where I had the opportunity of being the only girl seated at the high table amidst great men, as a guest speaker to review the book - THE SECRETS OF FREE EDUCATION by Stephen Chidiebere Ikebude. (feather to my cap *winks* A good book they say, is a gift you can open again and again , thanks to my Hubby I read lots of books now.
