The Monochrome Way: Feeling Spotty

Hello People

Hope you've had a good day!

I did something different to my hair yesterday, it's my protective style of choice for the Summer Holidays, Box Braids, I haven't done them in over a year. I did Afro Kinky Twists for NYSC Camp in November and I had crotchet braids done over the Easter Holiday but that's it. I got them done at home, which is super convenient, don't know why I have been stressing myself going to the hairdressers. It was kinda hard sleeping with them though as they couldn't fit into my Satin Bonnet. I've figured out a way to stuff them all in sha. The aunties in my house have been saying I should have done this to my hair since instead of carrying my Afro. I have been a bit vain since I got them done though, taking loads of selfies and feeling cute but I Love my Fro still, fam!
I had to run some errands round town today and this is what I wore but with Sandals. I tend to always have flats, sandals and heels in the car just in case. Seems like I've been wearing a lot of black and white lately, not planned, it just happens. Oh yeah, I've been tidying up my room and cupboard, found a lot of forgotten items and this top is one of them. I bought it in white, black and polka dot to wear under blazers/suits but I haven't really rocked my blazers/suits since I moved back. It's either too hot or I just don't feel the need to because teachers don't have a strict dress code. I'll try to wear one soon sha, so they won't just be there gathering dust.
By the way, I'm not a centre part girl, but the braids are still kinda painful so I'll chill for a bit before I put them to the side and experiment with different ways of styling.


It says "MADE FOR DETUKE BY TEMATINZ"
I Love this picture, such a pity it's blurry

















Some people on the street were staring at us, I was trying to control my laughter
Top: Forever 21
Riding Pants: American Apparel
Heels: Peacocks
Glasses: Primark
Wristwatch: DKNY
Map of Nigeria Necklace: Made by a guy in my church, Tema (Brand Name:Tematinz)

The watch was a Graduation Present from my friend, Diwura's Mum. I love it and I wear it a LOT! A nice, classy, sophisticated designer watch is such a practical present to give a graduate as they'll need a statement one for working life, this one fits the bill.

The pictures were taken by Funmi, she really likes the braids and was even the one that suggested taking the pictures, Shout out to her!!
