A Lifestyle Blog With An African Twist

Blues and Yellows

I have been busy.  Did I hear you say welcome to the world we live in?  Yes, who else hasn't been busy?  These days we are all busy keeping busy. 

In this very competitive world that we live in today, one has to aim for the skies and if one is lucky enough one will fall on the mountain.  Gone are the days when experience took one somewhere.  To get anywhere one has the option of striving hard, working diligently and being the best person that you can be or one can choose to scratch faces and trample on others to get to the top.  

Let's talk about the outfit now which I wore to evening service today.  Can you believe I use to think my favorite color was red? If that is the case how come most of my outfits end up with a touch of blue in them?  Obviously this outfit has more than a touch of blue but blogging has opened my eyes to the fact that I have a thing for the color blue and I wasn't even aware of it.  

Thank you for coming over and reading my blog.  If you like what you've seen, follow me for more and don't be a stranger, leave a comment because I love reading them.  

Outfit Details:

Top: Forever New

The wind is up to something today
Is this the proper way to show love handles?

  6. So beautiful with your head wrap and electric blue blouse. Love the yellow sandals, too.
    I'm not a competitive or ambitious sort, when we learn not to compare ourselves against others our lives are so much happier. xxx

  12. I remember you wearing this stunning cobalt shade before, dear Elsie, because it looks so amazing on you!! It definitely needs to be added to your list of favourite colours. And those sunny yellow sandals are the perfect go-with for a vibrant look like this...as are the model-esque poses!! ;D

  17. Cute, hip and fresh are the first three words that come to mind about the outfit. Natural, stunning and gorgeous are the three that come to mind when I see you. I love your playground poses and agree with Beate that the electric blue looks amazing on you!
