I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ITS A NEW YEAR.

Okay, so, I know that I haven't posted in a while and I have a plausible reason; I was in my final year in the university and so had a lot on my plate. However, I do promise that posts will more regular this year and if I fail, do with me what you will.



Hope you all had fabulous holidays, well I didn't, I was completing my final year research paper so no fabulousity went on. I do look forward to fantastic year for fashion and personal style.



Around the world, designers released their winter collections and Utilitarian or Military inspired is on everyone's lips, online stores like asos.com are already promoting their military collections ( I know because I have an asos account and I am obsessed with the boots they have on) Teen Vogue is also advocating the military inspired trend.
However, its not winter in Nigeria, its harmattan and so its really hot during the day and cool sometimes cold at night at least where am at (Abuja). So how can we work the military inspired look into our closets while considering our weather. I'm here to help.

If its for a day outfit, without being cheesy and actually wearing camouflage, you can wear a totally rocking forest green sleeveless denim or khaki  cargo jacket with a plain black tank and jeans with awesome boots for a military and for our whimsical girls even a pair of oxfords would be totally cool.

Another way to rock the military inspired look for day in the hot weather are a pair of shorts, Shorts in a dark colour and a nice tank with combat boots in brown or black totally rock. For our tomboys, cargo pants in three quarter lengths and a plain tee give that edgy military feel.

How about for a night out since its so cold, like tonight, and jacket would not only be stylish but practical. Throw on a Shift dress and sneak in the military edge with a nice dark cargo jacket, The collar and the pockets make it so cool and throw on a pair of heels for a touch of sophistication. Do not be afraid to go for colour just because you're wearing a military inspired look with a dreary night and the dry air a nice pop of colour amidst the dark tones in your shoes, accessories, and make p are a welcome sight. N.B: Don't forget though not to go with colour in everything mentioned above i.e. shoes accessories, makeup it will be a bit too much.

Another way to rock this trend for night is wearing a body con dress, midi length in a neutral tone like, black or dark grey and throw on a military inspired jacket kick it up a notch with a dark lip, preferably in forest green.

Jumpsuits, playsuits and dungarees are another totally awesome way to rock this trend.

Do not forget a hat, hats are an essential part of the utilitarian look

N.B: The Utilitarian look is quite practical, isn't it?

Layering is an awesome way to rock the military inspired trend so when you think military inspired layer, layer, layer is the principle. oh and dark and neutral tones.

Hey! I'll rock
 this trend and show you guys. cool?

Oh its so good to be back.
Love ya
Creaky.
