Good afternoon readers and welcome back! Hope you're having a good week so far and working towards completing your week's goals. Even though it's just a Monday, stay focused and don't laze around. Moving on to today's post, I'm seen sporting a cocktail bright yellow dress matched with my pair of white pumps and a white clutch. I encourage you to pay attention to details when styling a look like this as I have done with my golden earrings and the tiny golden bits on the clutch and pumps. Many people think that accessorizing means wearing all the accessories that match a certain dress. Accessorizing is actually a key to achieving a certain look, and a cocktail dress can change dramatically based on the accessories one wears. The length of a cocktail dress is an important factor to take into account when dressing to look one's best. Petite women can achieve the illusion of height by wearing shorter dresses. Taller women have more flexibility in dress length. However, very tall slim women should go for a balanced look by not wearing dresses that are too short. Coming to a dress color, solid colors are a safer bet, but make sure the color is complementary. Finding colors that are complementary to one’s skin tone is an art in itself. In the end, make sure that you wear the dress and don't let the dress wear you. Be confident in your skin and remember that a flattering cocktail dress lets the wearer relax and allow her personality to shine at any party or social event. 

I hope this post somehow comes in handy for when you wish to achieve a similar look next. Till then, take care and may God bless each and every one of you!

Welcome back to my world of fashion blogging! Hope you're doing well and hopefully have had a good start to a brand new week. Today's look focuses on bringing a very simple outfit like a tank and a pair of jeans to life by accessorizing and adding bold color combinations. To make it pop, I used my jacket in an extremely simple way to completely change the look of the outfit. Depending on the weather, you could pick a leather, denim, or light jacket for a quick style update. Wearing a different jacket makes things more noticeable and since it is a major article of clothing, it's often the first thing people notice about your outfit. Like jackets, bags also pull in color and help coordinate patterns. If your outfit is too neutral and you wish to add a little attention to it, throw in a bag (that obviously matches the outfit) for a bolder look. We all have our go-to outfits and for many of us, a great pair of jeans and a favorite top is usually the one. Sometimes, however, these favorite outfits just need a little something extra on selected days. That's why I encourage you try and spice up your usual jeans and tank top outfit to be a little more experimenting. I hope you all have a productive week ahead. Stay focused and stay safe. Till we meet next time and God bless you all!

Happy Sunday beautiful people and welcome back to Yanikeur's world! Hope you all had a blessed and busy week, but more importantly a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend to gear up for the week's challenges ahead. Coming to today's post on vintage dresses and embracing different, colorful prints, I'm seen wearing a royal blue A-Line dress here which comes with floral prints. The prints in my opinion make the dress stand out and are perfect to wear for a day-time event out with the ladies, women's tea parties, and other such classy occasions. Vintage isn't easy to wear but with an outfit like this, you would want to highlight the dress by adding the basic wardrobe essentials that don't draw too much attention, such as simple jewelry or solid colored pumps so majority of the attention of your outfit remains on the dress. You can use a basic belt as well to update the silhouette, cinching at the waist as I have done. Wearing vintage with style is about mixing it right to avoid looking like you're straight out of movie in the 50's. I feel the trick to keep your outfit balanced is follow a 50/50 vintage and basic modern pieces rule. Just like for this look I paired my printed dress with a pair of solid red color stilettos very minimal jewelry and make-up. Hope some of these tips help you for carrying your next vintage outfit and remember as long as you're confident, you don't have to worry too much about carrying off the look. Have a productive week readers and God bless!

Welcome back everyone and Bon Dimanche to all! Keeping it simple today and getting straight to the post - jumpsuits are on the rise and you should cop one before they run out of style. Take it from someone who absolutely loves them and has plenty in her closet! All of a sudden it's an acceptable evening wear option, respectable attire for a wedding and strong competition for a dress that most women wear out. To achieve what I'm wearing, I took a very simple tube top black jumpsuit and paired it with my black & white pumps to give it a classier and more night-time look along with a pearl necklace and gold wristwatch. If you prefer styling with more colors and prints, try adding one type of print and not three different kinds for the shoes, accessories, or clutch. You also try a pop of color like purple, navy blue, or other shades that are uncommon and can be paired with a simple jumpsuit like this. To make my outfit stand out, I chose to stick with a bright red lip color and a brighter shade of eye shadow. As most women choose for brighter colors in accessories and shoes, I am here to tell you that try experimenting with make-up as well and not just items of clothing or embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed this post and the look that I put much effort into. Till we meet again next week, readers and I hope you have a great week ahead filled with lots of blessings!

Hi all! If this is your first time on my blog, welcome to my world and if you're returning, thanks for the continuous support and love. Today's post is all about maxi skirts and how versatile they can be to pair up with. Whether you choose to go for a sporty look, a spring look with a cardigan on, or with a cozy sweater for winter time, a maxi skirt is definitely easy to mix n match and convenient to pack for people who are always on the go. For this look, I took my grey H&M high-waist maxi skirt to match with a bright colored tank top just to add a pop of color and paired it with a pair of wedges. Also, to give it a "girl-next-door" touch, I made sure to braid my hair on both ends and add on a pair of hoop earrings. The look is very easy to achieve and made to look comfortable because that's what maxi skirts are all about. They’re easy to add layers over as well as hide layers under, making them the perfect transitional item of clothing. Hope this post somewhat helped to get rid of your doubts about wearing a maxi skirt for this season and make sure however you decide to style it with, always remember to style is off with a confident smile! I wish you all a great and blessed week ahead and that you stay focused on your priorities. Till we meet again!
