GYPSY DREAMS:: TASSEL KIMONO X LBD

I have been looking for a nice kimono (by nice I mean desirable length, cute print and probably other details too. Details add so much pizzazz to an outfit that would be otherwise dull and boring. It’s usually the first thing I look for when I spot any piece while I’m shopping) and the universe was kind enough to grant me this bad babe right here. I cannot overstate how much fun it is, you can put it on absolutely anything! That said, it’s needless to say that you will be seeing it a lot more now henceforth. Just like mom jeans. I love versatile clothes because they feel like a life time investment, know what I mean?

This LBD is old! While the booties, they were bought from h&m by heaven knows who(God bless their soul for deciding to let them go) and I picked ‘em up from gikosh, at an unbelievable price of just 400/- you guys! And they were practically new, not even a scratch! I think I should do thrift hauls.

Anyhoo, have yourselves a lovely week and enjoy the post!

Thanks for reading!

DENIM MONDAY:: DENIM X FLORAL PATTERNS+

Many people in this country will attest  to this, you do not have to burn your money to look good! in Kenya, a little sense and a love for thrifting could get you some pretty amazing outfits. It breaks my heart that soon we might have to go to South Africa, or Nigeria *shock emoji* for the sake of thrifting (I am talking about the possibility that secondhand clothes might be outlawed in East Africa) or how did that go, the lawyers in the house? no one? okay, lets just hope that it will be passed when we are old when we'll be caring less but for tobacco and watching sunsets with our old men-not a bad life, eh?
but I digress, am I the only one who finds thrifting so thrilling? This pair of shorts for instance, I got them from Muthurwa(while I was on my way to gikosh.haha) and this top, I bought it a a stall in Kiambu, mostly because it looks ankara'ish, no? but I love it anyway, and this combo especially. It is nice for chilling, a walk with the significant other, or a pet, anything really. It is comfortable enough for a lot of activities.
This shoes(I loooove them). There was a time when gladiator sandals were all the craze and there wasn't a single pair for sale in kenya (because I had looked, and looked and looked some more but couldn't find any) people were shipping them in!(and they still are.but right now, almost everyone owns a pair). Then God saw my agony and came down(in Eldoret) and brought me a pair, or i'd like to think. and just like every treasure, you have to go out and search. so I spotted them while I was out thrifting, you cannot imagine my joy on that day. and the most amazing thing, I got them for a 150 bob only! that's less than $2! halleluyia. granted, they were not the tall gladiators that I desired but they were just fine plus I speak for you and I when I say that this brown shade is jut the shiznit! it goes with absolutely anything!
anyway, enough about this. Have a fun read and a great week!
