ART ATTACK

 

Hello lovely people!! I am so excited about this new segment on my blog.  I’ll be featuring remarkable people who are incredibly gifted and are not shying away from using their gifts to produce their best.

#selah 2: KEEP WALKING

‘What am in doing with my life?’ Its a question that has probably crossed your minds at one point in time, or someone asked you and we were left pondering.

Things are changing so fast in today’s world that it becomes so easy to look at everything else happening around you and finally end up wondering, ‘am i good enough?Am i really doing enough with my life?’ I have, for the most part, been there..you know the usual stalking on the internet at who is doing what, where they have been lately etc, and i am left wondering perhaps i am not doing enough. Perhaps there is something more i need to do to get there faster right? WRONG!!

Have you also noticed that when this query arises suddenly you seem to forget all that you have achieved thus far? It becomes so easy to dismiss even the smallest of achievements and you end up complaining about what you’d have become, or what you’d have done if only you had this and that. Yet, the thought comes as a mere distraction trying to stop you on your tracks or worse take you back a few steps back. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 quotes “in everything give thanks.. ” But do we really take time to give thanks? The mindset and attitude we ought to have is that of thanksgiving for where we are today, as we keep striving for where we want to be.

Today i was just reminded of one virtue that is still yet to be perfected in me,  which by the way happens to be my other name, PATIENCE. It takes lots of patience to be consistent at what you do and believe in even when there seems to be no results. It takes patience.

Today’s actions are tomorrows realities. Hence lets keep walking and striving patiently towards that great person we were created to be and it will be just a matter of time before the world gets to know and experience our greatness.  But most importantly enjoy the journey.

With love..

 

 

 

 

3 DAY CHALLENGE: look 3

Hello lovely people. If  hope you go that favorite hat that you have always wanted and it is serving you well; if you are into hats that is. The purchase is always the easy part but what is of utmost importance is always the care of the item to ensure it serves you longer. One of the common mistakes we make is storing the hat on its brim. With time the brim loses shape as a result of carrying the weight of the hat and the aftermath is a not so flattering hat that i am pretty sure no one would want to wear. So what is the best way if storing it? Simply place it on a hook.

I decided to create a vintage look for this last outfit by pairing a pair of culotte with a vest top and an overlay top and finished of with a pair of oxfords and felt fedora. This look is perfect for a casual, laid back kinda day and it brings me to an end of the three day challenge look. I could sure use some comments, suggestions on this look or all of the three and what else you would like me to feature. As always stay blessed. 🙂

3 DAY CHALLENGE : look 2

Hats are worn by different people for different purposes. For some it acts as a decorative piece, some for protection against the harsh weather conditions, others to disguise baldness ( guys you can agree with me here) and some, ladies mostly, to protect the hair or  hide bad hair days.

In whatever category you fall,here are some of the things to keep in mind:

• Find a hat that suites your face shape.
• The hat should be a perfect addition to the overall look of your outfit. I am sure you would not want to make heads turn for the wrong reasons.
• Make sure the hat fits perfectly before a purchase. There is nothing as discomforting as wearing a tight hat all day or having to keep holding onto your hat to avoid losing it when it is windy.

I decided to channel an androgynous look by pairing a pair of black pencil jeans  with a sleeveless top and finishing of the look with a pair of oxfords and the fedora hat. You can add a black or navy blue coat for a chilly day to complete the look. Thank you so much  for the read and i would love to hear your comments and other suggestions. Stay blessed.
