I am still pondering how in two days time it will be June I mean, it feels like only a few days ago we were starting May and I was sharing the April Fashion Favourites post. It is already the last Monday of the month and I am sharing the May Fashion Favourites post which makes me realise there is no time to waste (relaxing is not time-wasting it’s a productive action for one’s soul body & mind).
When I shared the April Fashion Favourites post, it was a Bank Holiday in the UK and most commonwealth countries. Today is the last Monday in May and it too is a Bank Holiday in the UK meaning I do not have to go into work today, I can chill and relax but knowing how fast the year is moving I decided to do something productive whilst relaxing and I shall be revealing that in the coming weeks.
During the month of May, I had put together 4 fashion posts and one Father’s Day gift ideas fashion post. It was a lovely month to be sharing fashion ideas because almost all of the outfits are as a result of me being on holiday in Seoul, Korea and having a blast.
May Fashion Favourites
One Short two outfits – The weather in Seoul was absolutely blasting for spring, I think if in ever had such kind of weather in the UK we would be basking in warmth and happiness more often than the miserable and down-casting feelings we get with the dreary weather of ours. Because I do not get to wear shorts as often as I would like in the UK, I made sure to wear them everyday whilst in Korea. I had mentioned previously on the blog that, I would spend the majority of my time in Korea clubbing and true to my word we did that daily. So it became essential for me to put together outfits that I could easily pull from day to-night and shorts being my favourite items of clothing I did just that.
Forever21 bodycon pencil skirts – I love skirts like the next person but bodycons were ones that I avoided like the plague because I did not know how to dress them until I had no choice but to buy bodycon skirts in forever21 whilst I was on holiday in Korea. After buying the first bodycon I dresses it with a bodysuit and went out clubbing, I got a lot of compliments and my confidence went up the roof so much that the next day I went and purchased 2 more bodycon pencil skirts. I have since found it easy to dress bodycon pencil skirts and hoping soon I will have the motivation and courage to dress bodycon dresses.
From Day to Night – As I have mentioned already, whilst in Korea I got the knack of putting together outfits that I could easily dress from day to-night without much effort. So when I returned I was thinking of how to dress any ‘dress’ from day to-night by looking at what I had in my closet and that’s how this outfit was born.
Father’s Day gift ideas ~ Daddy’s choice – Though I have added this post with my May Fashion favourites, it is a gift idea guide than a fashion post. I do love men’s fashion and when my daddy chose the grey suit, grey tie and black shoes I knew I had to include it in my May Fashion favourites post.
Monochrome Inspired – I always dress in monochrome whether intentional or otherwise and I have noticed this about myself so I thought with the injection of colours that I am currently doing to my wardrobe why not share a monochrome inspired outfit with a tour of nude and rose gold. I mean what outfit doesn’t look good with rose gold accessories? With Nude it could be a hit or a miss but rose gold is always a winner.
