So it’s Style& Fashion with Temi Olujide
What is fashion to you?

This is a question I find myself asking almost every one I meet “in my head of course”. Today, it’s a question I want us to ask ourselves, are you one of the people who think fashion means the latest trend, brand names or that “in-thing” you saw on TV and can’t wait to try out? NO!!! Fashion shouldn’t be about dancing to a rhythm set by others or being bound by other people’s must-have-lists……fashion is meant to be debated, one person’s favourite dress is another’s worst nightmare!
 
 So what exactly is fashion?


Fashion I would say is a personal expression of who you are. It’s a way in which people get to know you without actually having to speak to you…..it’s like a huge billboard the world beholds every time people get to look at you. You can make that billboard say anything you want via your fashion style.

Now, we all know not every body’s got a natural flair for fashion, not everyone can colour co-ordinate outfits and manage not to look like a kids water colour set splashed on them, and not everyone can pair the right dress with the right accessories….and so on. So here are some VERY important tips we need to pay attention to:

*    FIT

 It’s all about picking things that fit your body type. To do this you need to know your body intimately, only then would you know what enhances or highlights your good points and what conceals the “not-so-good” ones.

Too tight and you won’t be able to breathe, too big and we start assuming you’re hiding a baby or some really major issues under there………lol! So please find a balance, something that’s comfortable and chicky at the same time. This increases your confidence level, trust me it shows when you walk into that room!



*    ACCESSORIZE

When using accessories, it’s commonly said that “less is more” (yes, I watch E! and style networkJ) but really too much accessories can kill the effect. When you have a loud outfit on (patterned, bright colours etc.) you should keep the accessories to a minimum, a bold print dress does NOT need a matching hat, belt and shoes please! While the items might be cute individually, put together they might just be too much…you can always bring out the bling for the simpler and quieter outfits. Accessories also include foot wears, handbags etc. the right colour and style goes a really long way…..




*    THE “LITTLE THINGS”

Apart from getting the right fit, the right look and all…there other things that bring together the whole package, things we overlook most times. Fingernails, especially toe nails….please ensure your nails are clean, well-manicured (you don’t have to go to a salon to do this, I do mine at home when I’ve got the time), nail polish not chipped or smeared (nail polish is really not compulsory you know?) and of a reasonable length (not like talons…)
  
 Also, please shave!!! Nobody should be told this. Use anti-perspirant (sweat maps are so unattractive) deodorant, body spray, cologne, perfume…whatever. All these are to keep you from being too self-conscious, to keep you looking comfortable and in control.

Well just some few more words before I take my leave,  always strive to become or present yourself an admirable masterpiece and remember that trends disappear quickly, so don’t be a slave to what the trend pages say, rather, develop your own individual and unique style. That’s what makes you, you!

Ok! My time is up…… I will be here again, soon. Until then……… remember fashion is like a billboard which people see every time they get to look at you, so make that billboard say and express the right things about you through your style and fashion sense.

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
