Most of my past outfits were missing elements to tie the look together, and I cringe when I look back. While photographing these looks below, I removed or added new elements to the outfits, and when that didn’t work, I ditched them and started over. Once I fell into rhythm, I didn’t manipulate my clothes to make them noteworthy. I enjoyed them as is.

My babysitter walked in with my son before I gave up on this dress; her reaction made me keep it on. I had forgotten I bought this for colder months because it felt too covered up for summer. I initially wore it with strappy sandals and almost regretted buying it until I remembered I had boots. My boots are green, which complements this oddly colored dress. I chose this lightweight Max Mara coat because it made sense, and I added a belt because it looked better.

Dress: Polo Ralph Lauren Boots: Jimmy Choo Coat: Vintage Max Mara Belt: Elsa Peretti x Tiffany Co.

As a Nigerian, I believe in gold supremacy; however, as a Danica Stamenic stan, I can see silver’s POV. You will notice I am wearing a lot of silver jewelry throughout because I have seen the light and understand why “.925” deserves rights. Additionally, I have leaned into mixing my metals, which has been a lot of fun, especially after adding some new silver jewelry and belts to my wardrobe.
