Lazy days...

Today was one of those long lazy lazy days, I was late for everything I mean everything. Wore this in such a hurry for class couldn't even iron my shirt but looking at it now I think I prefer it that way...

 I got the jeans about a year or so ago at Adams, they were even looser then. The T-shirt is random while the wedges are a recent acquisition from Thika.
The orange bracelet is actually a headband I got when I was on attachment in Eldoret.

Guess who's back?

No the boy did not whisk me to an island far far away where there's no internet, or clothes or clean drinking water or meds, I swear this started on a romantic note only now all I can think of is how terrible a time Robinson Crusoe and his familia must have been having. Anyway school is back in session meaning am done with my attachment and best of all I have someone to take my photos.

This is what I wore on day 2 of school: 


 The shirt and bag are from Eldoret street vendors...
Notice the studs on the pocket and collar?
                                          Shirt- Eldoret, Ksh.100
                                          Jeans- Juja, Ksh. 500
                                          Boots- Market stall, Ksh. 1300

Be fashionably rebellious,
XX Daisy M.

Personalised

My net subscription will be gone in less than an hour so I'll make this real quick....I'm of the opinion that there's no particular formula for style, especially when you're trying to make it your own. You think of things, throw them around basically experiment and you hope that it translates to the picture in your head. It doesn't always and sometimes you're the only that sees it but I believe that if you keep at it for long enough the abstract in your head might just shape up and translate into your style. So do tell what shapes do you see or is it only in my head?

This is the dress I was talking about in this post and a going to get it in a size 8 see how that goes...



 
My hair was so short back then...

Monochrome

You have been neglected, the good thing with family is it sets you straight...I got several emails from a few of my lovely readers and it's about time I lived up to their expectations. I'm back my dears and the next few posts will be spent explaining where I've been.

Took this a few weekends ago for coffee with Him...



I bought the top in Toi ages ago and this' the first time I've won it decided to try out the monochrome-ish theme with the white jeans which are also a first wear and I really don't mind how it turned out, you?





creased I know...


nothing quite like the sun in your face...bliss.

Not yet a lady


I have been busy; before you tell me everyone’s busy hear me out. That lecturers’ strike that I mentioned in passing here and that I enjoyed thoroughly has become my downfall. Barely a week out of the system and my mind went on format add to that the fact that when they came back we were forced to have a short crash program, now that’s okay except for the fact that as I mentioned before my mind was devoid of all things class. So it figures that am on a crash program in and out of class and it has to be quick as my exams are starting on the 13th and my results from last semester are a bit of a distance from what I deem satisfactory.

On to the stuff that matters here, I was planning to go to church last Sunday you know atonement et all. This was what I wore in that light. My mom made this dress when she was she was in college it turned out so good she took a bunch of pictures in it. I love it so much…cinched it with an old leather belt that I shortened so it could be wearable only at high waist and purple peep toe heels I’ve had for forever. 

 Notice the dress is asymmetrical at the bottom? I'm looking for the perfect statement neckpiece to add to this outfit I think the peter pan-esque collar would do very well with one. Any ideas?


 The tiny envelope clutch was thrifted from a shop at my hometown for Ksh. 150. I love its colour so extremely much. 
see, I don't think ladies do that!
    Wish me luck, better yet wish me focus the good Lord knows I need it. Till the next time, be safe cadets

Sometimes easy does it

I was uninspired today, so I decided to go with a classic- crisp white shirt and jeans. The hot pink shoes where bought in a moment of weakness- combine that with all that choice you get in a supermarket and voila I have shoes in a colour that was just a level below detest on the hate meter. But you know how it is with things like this, they creep up on you and before you know it you're in love,wore them just to add a dash of colour. I love the faux leather jacket I think they call it pleather but it's not because am a number one PETA supporter the minute I get my hands on a good leather jacket....sigh.
Short and clean-only way I like my nails



 Jacket- Ksh. 400 Thika
Shirt- Ksh 100 Toi
Jeans- The hometown
Canvas- Tusky's
Belt- His
None of this pictures do any justice to the pants, they're boyfriend jeans yep in person I look like a very attractive butch...or I think I do. Am particularly in love with the fact that they have a really short crotch.

My exams are back on schedule now that the lecturers are off their strike so I don't think I can hack posting a lot but I'll try my best. Please follow me by joining the site up there on the right-does a lot for my psyche and while you at it tell a friend. All my love cadets.

Candystore colours

It's been a rough few days, I pray forgive me for keeping you out of my life but that's the first and last of it,I hope. I was feeling so blue today and I just don't know why considering the lecturer's strike freed up my hours and I spent a very long weekend with my mom. I think someone up there wanted a smile on my face because for a few hours the sun was shining so bright...I wore this colourful shorts I recently thrifted from Gikomba and it somewhat lifted my spirits. That and remembering this guy who spontaneously started singing in a very quiet bus I was in yesterday on my way back to school-I looove crazy people 0_o

I've had a thing for flowy shorts that look like skirts for a while now so when this fierce maniac caught my eye I just couldn't say no...I promise I can say no to other things mommy. And it was 50 bob, yeah cheap bitch girl alert.
my skinny legs make their debut appearance
Dancing to the music in my head
side view
The denim jacket was Ksh.200 and the vest Ksh. 50 from the same place. The rest where acquired too long ago can neither remember where nor for how much,well except for the earings which where from mapambo.
To make it up to you my lovelies I promise to post everyday for the next few days...or till you have enough of me and that shouldn't be soon-I hope.

Wide leg wonder

I bought this jeans three years ago and they where really really large. Took them to the tailors, had them cinched at the waist and voila: one of my wardrobe staples. I wear them at the very least once every two weeks. History aside, I wore this on Wednesday and I was so lazy busy all day long I didn't find the time to take picture till late in the evening. I will very very soon convince my beautiful amateur photographers'-yes, they're quite a few- to let me post their pictures I promise you won't be disappointed...

A case of the blues

First outfit post...I love firsts, sigh, anyway I woke up early Monday morning because like the typical lazy campus student I hadn't read for my CAT. So my alarm goes of at five and silly me snoozes it for about 20 minutes. when my eyes and will finally decide a partnership is in order I get out of bed, turning on the lights and nothing...The lights are out, I have a paper to do in less than four hours and I haven't seen the inside of this class or the books needless to say I was feeling blue.
I picked this dress my mom used to wear during the weekend. I coveted it for years and when she finally gave it to me- thanks to quite some trickery on my part-I found that it's a remedy for those days when  am not feeling so good. Paired it with a navy zara blouse and a red suede jaeger belt-all thrifted and i was good to go.


it's really flowy

Forgive the background, was on a panya route headed to school. I took the last photo myself, kinda good don't you think?

salute cadets, have a lovely week.
