Ode to My Fashion

Hello everyone! How is life treating you? I have been thinking about unfollowing people on Instagram lately. I do follow over 500 accounts but  most of them do not bring me joy anymore.    Glasses - Kiabi Jacket - bought in Pune, India Dress - from a seller in donwtown Dakar Shoes - thrifted Watch - Sea plaza mall   When I started using Instagram a few years ago, it was mainly to follow the fashion bloggers I read on the regular. And the more I used the app, the more I curated it to accounts I really liked. I was following mostly black fashion bloggers, curvy fashion bloggers, and Hijabi fashion bloggers. With time, I added some diy pages, sewing tutorial pages, gossip pages, funny pages, photographers,youtubers, fashion houses, local restaurants and hotels, and finally some celebrities.     In all the years using Instagram, things have drastically changed. Back when I started using it, words like "content creator" or "influencers" did not exist yet or...

I just wanted to show you what is actually my favorite dress of the moment.  Midi Striped Dress - Marwa Fashion Boutique   Suede Pumps - Numero Uno Navy blue chiffon scarf - bought from a friend  I bought it back in September 2020 on impulse and managed to wear it three times already, only for work events.

But I was supposed to have a Girls Night Out with some friends, and attend a makeup master class/ private sale event in January. The event has been postponed till March and now I am having a Girls day out with my friends! A few days ago, I saw a fashion blogger asking on Instagram if we had any style goals this year. I answered that I was too focused on surviving what is resembling yet another chaotic year to think about style at all. If there is anything 2020 has taught me is that sometimes making plans and goals is useless. Besides for years, my goal when it comes to style has been to elevate it. And by elevate...
