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} March Fashion Favourites 

I can not believe it is already the last Monday in March and I am sharing my March Fashion Favourites. As always I am not complaining just amazed at how fast time seems to be moving and leaving me thinking I have not done enough in the ending month but my body begs to differ. As always with this type of post, I share with you the Fashion Posts I shared throughout the month. Since these posts are so well received I call them March Fashion Favourites posts or whatever month it is.

Without further adieu.. 

Fashion Favourites

March Fashion Favourites 

To start the month I shared with you my outfit to Warsaw, Poland for my weekend getaway. I  paired this outfit with my new Jade Zebra flats from Butterfly twists and how I worked the stripes. I was sent the shoes for free in exchange for an honest review and my honest review is that these flats are truly awesome, fashionable and strong.

stripes in fashion

Obviously I hadn’t yet had enough of my new flats which I am still showing off so I shared another look Butterfly Twists & Stripes. I loved how I paired my stripes with the grey coat I got from New Look, I don’t usually pair coats and flats like this but it was a nice change for me.

 

Jade butterfly twists

Work dinner and Party outfit, was an outfit I had decided on wearing to my colleagues birthday dinner & party but unfortunately I ended up not going because I got the dates wrong (I thought it was Friday after work 17th but it was actually Saturday 18th and I had already made plans with a friends.) Still this was an outfit that I ended up wearing to work without the jewelry and the heels.

As part of my goals to be more intentional in my relationship I decided to ask MOH if we could have a date night and when we did we managed to go to an all you can eat place which I have a love/hate relationship with. I love it because I am not limited to what I can eat, hate it because I never eat the worth of my money if I am honest. Even with this outfit I managed to put in some colour, stripes and new flats for Butterfly Twists.

 

date night

Last month I had the pleasure of working with House of Fraser on Wishlist Granted, so when they asked me if we could work together again I did not hesitate to say yes though this time was for Children’s Fashion. I do not yet have kids but I have a nephew and I asked my SIL (sister-in-law) Hannah over at I Dainty It to pick something for my nephew (her son) and she choose a beautiful Levi’s Jeans. It look so good on Leon that I decided to create outfits that I think he would rock with the Levi’s Jeans.

I again worked with House of Fraser and this time I showed you how to clutch your outfit, I am not a big clutch purse person as I associate clutch bags with formal occasions which I don’t attend often or clubbing which I also don’t do often of but I thought putting this outfit together would be a nice wear to teach me (and others if need be) how to work the clutch bags/purses.

March Fashion Favourites wouldn’t be complete without adding in some Easter love, I put together this outfit I am wearing today and the outfit I am thinking of rocking tomorrow for work. As I mentioned in my Easter outfit post, I just recently purchased a gorgeous Anastasia full length coat from Amazon for £40 and it is so warm and wears really nicely.

March was such a lovely month, so much self discovery, respect and love plus a good catch-up with a friend and spending Easter with my parents made it a month to remember. Which of my March Fashion Favourite outfits is your favourite?
