Colour Block



Hello beautiful people! Welcome to another post yeah!. How has work, school, home and everything else been?
I can't apologize enough for the super loooooong absence and silence, please do forgive, love ya all!
These photos should actually have been posted before going on hibernation, and not after,  as I am doing now. But hey, stuff happens right?

So now, onto brighter things, and brighter photos..yeah.

 I totally fell in love with this dress made by my seamstress from woodin fabric, she actually exceeded my expectation with this one. Turned out so beautiful, colourful, awesome-ful, nice-ful...hehehe, my own adjectives naa (wink). Just two colours blocking each other whilst I shine away..
Anyway, this was my outfit to Sabbath service one saturday. As said earlier, these are throwback photos. Hopefully, current ones showing the current me would surface next week.

PS: Thats my hubby in the mirror taking the shots lol...

Turqoise green



hello there! thanks for coming. how are u all doing?
I still have a few more photos to post before i go totally Photo-bankrupt!
I have not been very active in blogging lately, a couple of issues now including some sort of mis-communication between my laptop and camera! The few pictures i have managed to take wont just upload! Whew it is so frustrating. Coupled with fact that i generally feel under the weather, has all contributed in making me desert this blog.
As if......
This outfit is just old stuff styled differently. but i especially love the shoes and i actually wear it very often, of course its not every outfit that appears on this blog lol.
and the black cross body bag cost just GHC5.00, a very good bargain.
They are old, but do enjoy..and pray for me loves

Neutrals, Pink and Black.



Hello you all? Its been a while since my last post, and I really did miss you guys!
A lot has been happening to me and I will tell you all about it in due time. Also its getting much more difficult getting someone to take my photos now (my lil sister got married and moved away with her husband, and hubby works non-stop now, lol). Luckily I have a few posts saved in drafts I can use in the meantime.
I seem to be putting up a lot of dress posts lately right? Yeah, dresses are my new found loves, colourful, simple dresses that can be styled up or down.
I stumbled across this beautiful one when I went thrifting at the Makola market a while ago and couldn't believe my luck when I pulled it out of the lot. I fell in love at first sight and decided to dress it up and put up a post as soon as I can lol..
Enjoy more photos loves..

Tweed Jacket


 

Hello loves.. nice to have you here. 
Today is Friday, and I am wishing you all a super weekend.
Today's post features a Tweed jacket. With this jacket, all I can say is that it pays to buy quality, anytime, any day. I have also realised that ,being stylish does not mean to wear the latest trends but wearing what you have to look trendy ( see me giving fashion lectures*claps hands* lol lol lol).
Yeah, as I was saying, I've had this jacket since university days, and that goes as far back as ten-twleve years ago (why does saying this make me feel like i am growing old..lol) 
I have been out of uni for ten years now!! whoop whoop.!
Ok, but this jacket has served its purpose well, and continues to do so as i style it with different pieces..
for this cloudy, down-cast day i opted to for this jacket and a white tank top with jeans. only after seeing how the whole thing turned out did the white shoes come into play, otherwise white on a rainy or muddy day is a no-no for me. ( took it off after a while anyway to prevent it getting all muddy).

Wedding Guest- Colour Me Yellow


Hello loves! How are u doing! Hope u getting over the monday blues!
My weekend was fun-filled because there was a wedding and I got to catch up with some family members I had not seen in a while. It was fantastic seeing all of them.
I wore yellow! Yayyy!. I have never, had a yellow dress (as far as I can remember) and I just decided this is time to get one.
Not wanting to spend too much buying designer stuff I just bought the material plus a bit of lace and had my seamstress do this style for me. Fits pretty well and I just love how it all turned out.
This neutral shoes with little bow-strings on top ( different from the one used previously, lol) and matching cross-body purse tied it all together..
Shout outs to my cousins Paul and Hubert for taking the photos, and Patricia as well for being so fun to be with.

Peach Perfect Peach!



Hello beautiful ones, how are you all doing?
my laptop developed a fault for a while hence my inability to post. but its back now, so here i am.
this post has been on draft for a while now, dont know why i havent posted it till now because the dress is beautiful.
It is a simple mini peach dress, also bought second hand from a dealer paired with neutral pumps. Its quite short so I had to constantly hold it down against the wind lol.( Better I pair it with flats next time.)
But its really lovely and fits well. For a flirty and girly date or party, this look would be the thing to go for. A simple dress but can be dressed to suit every occasion. .
This black and gold belt I bought from a thrift stall is a new addition to my belt family. Using it together with my neutral pumps completed this outfit perfectly for me. (I know, I use this pumps a lot lol)
PS: I am not this fat, the camera came too close ( hehehe, hides face) lol.

Oversized Shirt (Part II)



Hello there, welcome back. Just a quick outfit post.
You all remember the big shirt I used in the "Oversized Shirt" post right? Well, I rocked it again, but this time with a skirt.

Hello everyone, how are you doing? I trust God is taking care of all your cares.
Long time no blog, lol. just so so busy nowadays. And to think that i am supposed to be on leave sigh)..
so here is a quick one, another simple black dress. As i did in this look, a few accessories, in the form of a bag and ankara brooch, were used to add a touch class.
simply, beautifully, black!

Burgundy Flowers



Hello my loves. Thanks so so much for all the support you show to this blog. I appreciate it and God bless you.
This floral jacket just won me over when I saw it. I knew I had to have it, and thankfully it wasn't too expensive ( it cost twenty cedis ( about 7dollars) from a second-hand clothes dealer.
The cut and fit was just perfect, and the flower and leaf prints adds a perfect finish. Its definitely a must for my wardrobe.
I styled it to go with my burgundy pants I used in this previous post HERE. I then complemented it with a black tank top and matching pumps.
What do you guys think?

Kente Mini Skirt



Sometimes the pieces you need to make a statement are right there in your closet, hiding amongst the stuff you hardly wear.
Hello, its a beautiful monday morning here loves. Hope you all are having a great week.
This kente skirt was made a while ago, precisely during my pregnancy. It came in combination with a loose-fiting green chiffon top as a maternity style to accomodate my big stomach lol.
It was such a hit, attracting stares (wink wink lol), when I wore it then to my cousin's marriage ceremony. Since then its been hiding in my stuff because I have tagged it maternity wear.
But when I paired only the skirt with a different top now, as above, I realised it could still be useful as a statement piece.
So there goes. Re-modelling an old Kente skirt to make a statement. In order for the whole outfit not to look too 'reddish', I added neutral accesories, ie purse and pumps, to complete this look.
Your thoughts?


Thanks for reading, now lets read your comments loves and catch you soon.

Love,
Fredreca.

My arms, My issue.



Hi there, how are you doing? I am great and sincerely hope same for you too.
My arms, my issues. I titled this post this way because of my thick arms. When I saw the photos I just had to talk about this.
I really used to hate them, lol. Because people just look at my arms and conclude that I am fat.
but, since its not the whole body, then I am not really fat no? Am I making sense at all? I know I am not lol!
I have learnt to accept them now so I freely flaunt them at any opportunity.
So this is all of me, in my black tank top, showing off the 'macho' arms God gave me..lol.

Pink Glory



Hi fellas! Good day to you all.
I am feeling sad as I type this post. it is being alleged that one of Ghana's illustrious sons, Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known as Castro, is dead. although there are no bodies to confirm this, rumours reports are coming in from various media houses on the issue
A very talented musician, he has many songs to his credit and several collaborations with other equally talented artists like Sarkodie, MzBEL, Tinny etc. The most popular feature about his songs were his inclusion of Ghanainan footballer Asamoah Gyan in the tracks. He has brought joy and merry to the hearts of many people because his songs are good with very danceable rythms.
i sincerely hope this is not true, no bodies yet...

I leave you with these photos, featuring my outfit to work about a month ago.

Battling the Cold Weather


Hi you all lovely people! How are your weeks progressing? Mine is going well, I trust you are too.
The rains have resumed again, after a long break. In fact, its been raining a lot in Accra these days, taking up most of the mornings. You only go out when you really have to, like to work or for some very important task, or get under a blanket and doze off, lol. I happen to prefer the last option, hehehe...
So the weather continues to be cold, and when you cannot afford to doze off, then you must prepare to battle the cold.
In this outfit, I had on a black jeans trousers, black tank top and a crop jacket in a soft yellow hue. The colour of the crop jacket adds a pop of life to the whole black outfit and also brightens a gloomy day.
PS; There is a hood attached to the jacket which I love as well but that didn't show ( evidence of bad photography lol!).
So, are you feeling my battling the cold weather look?

A Match Made in Fashion Heaven


Hello loves, long time no blog! Haha, been swamped with work lately. I need a break. I might just take a much needed leave soon.
So how have you all been doing? Very fine I guess. "All praise to Baba" then, in the voice of Ghanaian musician  Bisa K'dei's voice.
Would you believe I didnt plan to buy the pieces this way? You know those times when you buy something only to get home and realise you have the exact perfect match in your wardrobe? Yeah, this was what happened with the polo lacoste and the bag.
Not only do they both sport the Ralph Lauren logo, but the colours are a perfect match in addition to both bearing the number '3'. I have seen the top in other numbers but I happen to have '3'. I bought the top about 3years ago at Makola, whilst I fell in love with the bag at a boutique in the same Makola, about a year ago.
At the time of buying the bag, the top was nowhere in my mind..
I am glad I did cos they combine so well, a match made in fashion heaven!

A Little Colour To A Denim Shirt



Hello lovely people, how are you all? Hope your weeks are progressing well. i want to thank you all for your well wishes. it got so serious that i just couldn't open my mouth to speak!
Then a friend referred me to see a private dentist at the Accra Mall. My, they were very very good. So much so that in less than thirty minutes after I entered, the pain had gone down considerably. By following day I could chew groundnuts there! They did a procedure called root canal, where they take out dead tissue, inject antibacterial solution and then fill with some substance. It was so perfectly done. Kudos to Dr. Okang and his team.
Now on to other matters...
This is a jeans shirt I bought a month ago from a thrift stall in Accra. I just love the colour and the little details on the collar. I would be rocking it a lot with different pieces so watch out.
I paired it with red skinny pants/trousers (yeah i know, the camel toe), black pumps and crossbody bag. Perfect outfit for a date or party. Also, with a different bag, I can take this to work. Enjoy the photos...

Two Sides To A Dress.



Hello lovelies! A warm welcome to today's post.
I have been wearing a frown all evening at work due to sensitive teeth. Its so painful!!!
I was just so happy to get home and apply some dental pain relief solution, which has helped a lot. I figured since it would take a while to sleep, why not post these pending photos. There is actually a small cotton wool soaked with the drug between my teeth as I type this post. 
So, here we go.
I wore this dress to work a while ago. Its an old dress I have had, and been taking to work for over a year now.
It has two sides; black with leather details on one side and greyish (am I right?) color on the other side.
My black pumps were there to tie the whole look together.
What do you think?

Long Skirt With Side Slit



Hi there, welcome to today's outfit post. Hope you are doing well by God's Grace.
So yesterday the rains came down on heavily Accra. It poured the whole day leaving most parts of Accra flooded. Fortunately my area wasn't affected thank God. But the cold weather sent me looking through my wardrobe for a sweater lol. I would do an outfit post on that grey sweater later.
So back to today's post. I got this long skirt with side slit a while ago from a thrift stall in Makola market. I have been unable to wear it because even though the waist fitted fine, the hips was a little loose. A week ago I decided to 'manage' it to see what I could make out of it.
These are the results. Did I pull it off?

Hello my dear friends, so glad to be back again. Hope you are all doing good.
I am in fantastic spirits because REAL MADRID ARE UEFA CHAMPS! Yayyyyyy! Congrats to all the guys who fought for this dream to be a reality, Ramos, Ronaldo, Bale, Marcello, Casillas etc. They have made history of propelling Real Madrid to its Decima Dream, ten times UEFA champions. #teamrealmadrid# #blowingvuvuzela#

This dress is a midi dress, with no sleeves and large geometric shapes. Its a simple dress but can be made to suit different occasions when paired with the right accessories. Here I gave it a formal touch by adding a blazer and pumps for a formal look.
I feel so good wearing it due to the colors and design. Enjoy the photos...

Ankara Gathers Skirt



Hi friends, happy sunday and welcome to another post. I am so grateful for your visits to this blog.
I share my passion here, which I hope would also inspire some diva out there.

Anyways.., I had this skirt made by a tailor friend using Daviva material. The top was actually part of a dress but the skirt was too short. So I cut it up, removed the down, and voila, I got me a really nice top. The shoes and belt were all thrifted.
Enjoy the photos and tell me what you think...

Smile!



Hello lovely people! So nice to be back again. Hope you are all having a fruitful day.
Life has been so unfriendly to me lately. Its been one difficult situation after another. Sometimes I really feel like not trying again because I dont get the results I want. I am just not in a good space at the moment.
But, it pays to be strong. And getting up and showing strength in the face of trials helps you to face those problems life is dishing out to you. The more you face them, the stronger you become. So I find a way to be strong. Instead of lying down, I rise up. Instead of looking gloomy, I dress up and smile. I go to work and I mingle. I am holding on. For after the darkest part of the night, comes the light. I just pray for strength from Jehovah God to carry me through.

Anyway, I pulled out this navy striped blazer I love so so much mmuah! It turns any outfit I match it with into a glam affair. I have worn it a few times but didnt take photos. So on this day, I decided to pair it with my white denim. Brenda of canneverbeaskinnybish2.blogspot.com did a similar post using a metallic blazer. That actually gave me the inspiration to style my blazer this way and to come up with this post. Thanks Brenda.
Enjoy the photos and bless you for reading.........

 Today's outfit consists of a Plaid pencil skirt I totally love. I paired it with pink chiffon blouse. Plaid items are still in vogue so you can get one for yourself, that is if you do not have any, or just want to get other items.
The yellowish stripes on the skirt makes a perfect match for my yellow shoes.

Azonto Pony (Bun)!



Hello my lovely readers, hope you are all enjoying your sundays.
I am sure you all have heard about Azonto. It is said to be officially, the first Ghanaian dance to go international! (yeah, as a Ghanaian, I've got bragging rights you know), but never knew there was a hairstyle named after the dance. As my hairdresser told me, this pony, or bun, is called Azonto Pony. Lol.
Anyways...
Enjoy more photos from a simple but great looking outfit, featuring a polka dotted dress and brown Zara bag.
