extraordinary simplicity

Its been soo long my lovings but I'm back with yet another informative entry.In this one I'll let you in on a secret.Did you know that it isn't impossible to look your best yet maintain an edge of simplicity.The myth is that a pony tail,no make up,sheer lips,flats and a detail free ensemble define 'simple'!But who the hell said??

The Fashion Poet says;
"Go ahead and style your braids up,have your ensemble loud as you please,pick colours from your heart,simplicity isn't what you wear,its how its worn!!"

Rule 1:sacrifice one thing for the other
If you are gonna have a busy hair-do...go for a very clean face!nude or sheer lips,neutral coloured eye makeup or alternatively no make up at all!likewise,you will have to choose between a statement neck piece and statement earrings.avoid rocking them both simultaneously.




styled up braids,calm makeup,statement neck piece and pearly studs.#AllWhiteEverything

Rule 2:careful with colours
This much isn't a myth but the mere reality.Too many colours at once are anything but 'simple'.hence work with a maximum of two dominant colours that compliment one another.

We get tired of looking OTT(over the top).Once in a while we'd love to look laid-back and effortless.however our biggest fear in this regard is looking 'dull' or what i refer to as 'characterless' for its our style that defines us.its easy though..the bridge between 'fabulousity' and 'simplicity' is elegance.its up to you to find the balance.
