Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} The Easter outfit

Easter for those of us who believe is the time of celebration, I know for some this is confusing how can we be celebration Jesus’ suffering but we are NOT celebrating the suffering but what he’s suffering and sacrifice brought us “freedom, a new life in Christ“. I am not trying to preach to y’all but share with you the Easter outfit(s) I put together during the Good Friday for church and today on my way back to my place.

Easter Outfit

You do not have to be a fashion blogger or a fashionista to put outfits together, you just have to have to love for fashion and throwing things together that work without even having to put it on. As I have mentioned many a time on this blog, majority of outfits I put together are those that I have tried myself before or are wanting to try in the future. Not everything I put together online looks as good on me as it does in the collage but that is to be expected as I do not have the shape to rock everything but I do have the idea to put it together is hopes of someone rocking it on my behalf.

The Easter outfit(s) came about after I was sent my £50 amazon gift card from a promotional work I did with Buzzoole (a social influencer network) a couple of weeks ago. I redeemed my points I earned but since it can take up to 3 weeks to get the gift card I had totally forgotten about it so imagine my surprise when the e-mail with my £50 amazon gift card arrived and I had 3 days left before my trial Amazon prime was up. I quickly went online to shop for an outfit (which is the one of the left that I am rocking today) and I stumbled upon this Anastasia coat for £40 I knew there and then I needed to have this in my wardrobe. I purchased the outfit and it was delivered the following day, tried it all everything fit but I wanted to wear it together so I thought I play with this jacket and see what other outfits I can come up with. There are many that I put together in my head but these two I love for the simplistic look, I don’t like wearing too many clothes this is why I am not a fan of layering. The work outfit idea came about when I found my old dress (similar to the one in the picture) and thought it would look really nice wearing this to work.

I hope you had a lovely Easter break for those who celebrate it. Spring is here so what are you adding to your wardrobe?

    Some terrific outfit choices here. I love the green striped dress but then I adore green so it was always going to be a winner. I disagree that anyone can put outfits together. I think you have a natural flair for it and I really really don’t.
