OOTD - DIY COLD SHOULDER

This post is because I have been learning a new skill and I am enjoying it. Happy new year everyone! So this is my first post for the year 2017, I have been holidaying in the eastern part of Nigeria, Anambra precisely and it's been fun, I shared some of my village chronicles on my Instagram page @divauju you can check it out.

So the cold shoulder trend was a huge one
in 2016 and I can bet it will stay with us in 2017. About the new skill I am currently learning, which is sewing! I talked about it HERE and how beneficial it has been to me. I made this cold shoulder top myself, with the help of my tailor friend @Chyomzy8 from a Hitarget Ankara material, gifted to me by my mum.

I paired this cold shoulder top with a midi bodcon skirt, a Choker and a 3inch black suede shoe.

My Coke! My sweet Lil sister

I single handedly sewed one for my sister, since I already learned how to sew a cold shoulder top. The good thing about learning a skill are : You get to save some bulks (money) by Doing it yourself, You can also make a living out of it. For me I want to save some bulks by sewing some basic outfits myself!

Its Friday and its an Ankara type of day, am wearing this for an appointment to meet a new client, as I just started a Branding and Social media consulting firm *winks* its 2017 and its time to make success stories. I will tell you more about it in my next post.
