I have had this shirt for a long time, probably for over 6 years (yeah it fits alright and still in good condition ).
I bought it when I was graduating from high school (secondary school ), fell in love with it because of the flower details

I wore it on the graduation day. When I wore it then, i was a complete mess, my sense of fashion and style was a little ugh, but it's a different case right now.

I decided to go for a casual look today but with a little touch of corporate. Paired the shirt with a black Jean and my favorite sandals at the moment with a pink satchel.

The accessories were a gold and black necklace, a gold earring both gifts from my aunt and a Rolex watch.

Hope you like this look.

Have a blessed weekend ahead.
XOXO

The difference between those who persevere and those who quit is mental preparation for what it takes to cross the success line.

It simply means embracing the worst that will inevitably come and have the resiliency to continue believing the best is yet to come.

I have dreams and aspirations, some have come to pass and others are yet to become a reality. What I have learnt from the dreams that have become a reality is what I would be sharing with you all today;

1) You'll always have more opportunities.
Everyday comes with opportunities to fulfill that dream of yours, don't beat yourself up just because you missed just that one,  a lot more are coming your way.

2) Be patient
If there is one thing I learnt in 2015, it would be patience. I tend to rush into things head on, but I realized with time that I have to be patient every step of the way in order to achieve my dreams.

3) Stop selling yourself short

4) Experiment, experiment, experiment
Try new things, broaden your horizon

5) Play a bigger game than yourself

6) Only compare yourself to yourself
When you begin to compare yourself to people around you, you begin to lose your personality and become a photocopy of that person. Just be yourself, Life is too short to be living another persons life

7) Embrace the lowest moments
Those times you have felt frustrated, sad, angry, or maybe you tried something and failed. Take a breath of fresh, smile, take a glass of wine, look for the lesson learnt in those moments, lift your head high and take over the world

8) Above all trust in God

This year I made a decision to draw/sketch more and it has been so much fun 

I joined a challenge created by Claire Idera (a Nigerian fashion illustrator based in UK) about a week ago and it has really helped to develop my talent and passion for drawing

The challenge involves drawing everyday for 30 days so as to develop the habit of drawing regularly. There is a list of designers for each day where you pick anything you love about them I.e. full outfits, shoes, bags e.t.c. and draw.

The pictures below show what I have done this past week.

What do you think about it? Do tell in the comment section

I've always admired people who choose to see the good in any situation, it's a quality that I am still practicing on a daily basis. Decided to share the following tips to make it easier to practice

1. Surround yourself with positivity
Keep positive, kind and generous people by your side. Find people who are loving, a joy to be with, that encourage you to be your best. As your relationship with them grows some off their positivity would rub off on you.

2. Keep healthy
Eating better can make you feel more confident with yourself, which would lead to a positive perspective.

3. Think positive
What you think of yourself is what you become.

4. Express gratitude
Living a life of gratitude is one the most powerful qualities a person can have. It helps us savor the good things in our lives and see them as gifts. Gratitude can involve just saying 'thank you', showing appreciation for someone or returning kindness.

5. De-clutter your space
It's amazing what a clean and organized workspace can do for your outlook. You can check out an old post for workspace inspiration here.

6. Set goals
Having goals gives us motivation and a sense of accomplishment,  which can encourage a positive perspective. Start with small goals which will gradually make you feel more confident and hopeful towards life.

7. Get enough sleep.
Getting enough sleep can often determine your attitude for the day. I've noticed a difference when I don't sleep well, I get cranky, I am slow, and the whole just feels like a drag. If you struggle with sleep; try switching off your phone or putting it on silent when going to bed, have a particular time you go to bed or drink a glass of milk with honey it should help.

8. Never compare yourself
Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't worry about what someone else is doing. Just do you.

9. Spread positivity
Finally, spread positivity. Something as small as giving a compliment or a simple act of kindness can help spread positivity. When you sow positivity, you reap positivity
