Camo and Red Heels

Okay! As absurd as it sounds, it's illegal to wear any print of camouflage colour in Trinidad and Tobago. For us locals, if you can recall in May 2013, custom officers seized a 10 month old infant camouflage clothing at the airport. Huh? I know some of us are probably throwing our heads back in laughter. Where do we come up with these laws?  I will always think the law in Trinidad was written by a senseless hater with no sense of fashion. Unfortunately, it is what it is; that's the law. Hmm that sucks for us Fashionistas, but I am always a girl who takes risk when it comes to style.

My Camo pants and red heels... Mmmmmmmmmm smells, looks and tastes good! lol

Modest? Say What!


There is a constant pressure in society to stay modest. I refer to it as the covered challenge which many have failed. Today women are looked upon as sex objects; like the perfect liquor to quench a man’s thirst. Whenever society comes across a female with a ‘good’ body the next desire is to see her assets. Unfortunately nothing is left to the imagination. Then again, call me old fashion, as I almost forgot  that is considered liberal for modern secular planet earth.

The constant strain to be nude is generic; that is no surprise. The norm is to expect the unexpected from anyone. Society has now groomed us into cannibals. Nudity has become the ink in water infiltrating the pure to endorse poisoned minds. The reaction nowadays in seeing a well-dressed covered woman has now become taboo; we tend to stare and gaze, dropping our comments of discernment to express our whole hearted disapproval. Everyone is eager to be a sex symbol as it’s the fuel that helps stir the hype in society in order to stay relevant.

As a full fledged covered woman, I have encountered so many pressure to relinquish my modest attire and do photo-shoots like the generic societal attractive woman. Society has poisoned us into thinking that attraction and beauty is associated with nudity. I can argue that, but in this day and age my point will not carry much weight.

 I have seen so many covered girls fall into the temptation to expose themselves. I am thankful that I have no such history. I am not tempted by nudity, because I am already sure about myself. I don’t need a half of million likes to prove how attractive I am. As attraction is a subjective term; some show it in modesty, books or nudity etc. My relevance and place in society is more of a challenge. It’s a covered girl challenge, which indeed is basically the hardest challenge ever. In today’s world where every woman is addicted to cosmetic surgery, there are millions out there who can do the same thing. Don’t challenge me to what is common. Challenge me to what is impossible or difficult for society.

I stand my ground as a full fledged covered woman, and I am thankful that I have never succumbed to removing my head covering nor modest attire, in order to satisfy society's thirst. Covered girl modest challenge, who is with me?

 Despite how intense the pressure may get, I have always managed to stand my ground. My body is my trophy/temple and I keep it on the highest shelf, adorn and covered in a glass cage. Lock and key? Of course!And it takes a pretty darn good lucky man to unleash me, all in the light of marriage.  But how is a man to know if he has not seen your body? Well in my faith if you have any severe imperfections on your body the correct thing to do is tell him about it. What if he doesn't like what he sees?  Then bye Felicia! Shallow comes shallow goes. Hence forth, I am confident and when that time comes, wait until I blog about that. Oh I'm teasing and just keeping the humour alive.

Yellow Heels 'Pop' the Outfit

Every fashionista must have a pair of yellow heels. It goes great against pastel colours and pops against dark colours like black or purple. I wear my yellow heels to add that 'abracadabra' effect.  Your outfit doesnt have to be excessive because that yellow pair of shoes is already fully effective in that aspect.

Have you bought a pair of yellow heels yet? what are you waiting on!

Your yellow heels doesnt have to be pricy you can get it on Amazon

How I put it together Customise Boyfriend Jeans

I can't make any excuses for my love of fashion and when I'm selecting an outfit I plan ahead in advance. Just in case you been wondering, I keep a look book of my own ideas.
For my outfit below, I wore a baby blue blazer, with a tribal Aztec inside vest top. The pants is my favourite Boyfriend jeans that I customised a little to suit my modest fashion. (SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO. ) I wore a beige wedge to add height to my petite body, but if you're a more shy person, you can top it off with a ballerina flats. This is a beautiful exquisite look that I pulled off.


 CUSTOMISE BOYFRIEND JEANS
I love the whole look of the boyfriend jeans, its baggy, fits right and looks awesome on any body type, but the distress effect with the holes can tamper with the modesty. So I decided to put my little sewing skills into good use with this semi creative look.
Please make sure and have a needle,thread, scissors, a notebook , brown cotton and measuring tape. 
A , I purchased some brown cotton from a fabric store
B, I measured the size of the holes and cut a horizontal long strip to suit. (Please make sure and leave an extra inch space so that when you bend your knees the seam will not burst)
C, I sewed from the inside of the jeans. Please do this part carefully so that it will not be visible on the right side. Note that you do not have to sew right around the brown cotton strip, but at each corner and outer centre of the strip.While you sew, ensure that there is extra room, therefore the covering will lap a little so that when you bend  your knees it will not burst away the thread.
D  After sewing the exposed 'hole' part, turn it on the right side and model your semi modest creation.
