African Prints

African prints are really becoming a big deal these days. Gone are the days when my mom was the only one who used to adorn African prints. So how are the various ways you can have the African prints in your wardrobe?

The African print blazer can be worn with a dress, shorts or trousers. The blazer can be cropped or a boyfriend jacket.

Rihanna was wearing a cropped African print blazer.

You can wear the African prints in form of shorts just like Beyonce.

How about an African Print skirt which u can pair with a cute top and belt?

You can have an African Print dress and it does have to be the one that you mom wears but can be in a more youthful style.

You can also have an African print top to wear with a pair of jeans or shorts.

I saw this and am looking for a pair for myself. I think this is a fabulous way of incorporating African prints into your wardrobe.

Scarves

Before I write this post let me just share that I just saw a lady in the street with the cutest hair band ever it had African prints and it was just to die for. Wish I had a taken a picture for you guys to see it. Anyway today am going to talk about scarves. I love scarves and i have a closet full of them. So I got to thinking what are the various ways that I can use the mountains of scarves I have. So I got to researching and even experimented most of what i found on my own. Promise to post the pictures of the little experiments that I did.

The usual ways that I mostly used scarves was to tie around my neck into the various styles that I got to know. Am not very good at tying a head gear but I did use the scarf as a head band. I also used the scarves to decorate my bag and one can be as creative as they want to be, just like in the picture below the scarf has been tied into a nice bow

I did some little experiments of my own where I took the scarves and an old purse and pimped it into a nice clutch bag. Don't miss the next post when I upload the pictures. While searching for scarves I stumbled onto a interesting wrist watch below

I have a watch that has a nice little face but it looked too masculine for my taste and when I saw this I tried to tie a scarve around the watch and it was perfect. It was no longer too masculine. I did the same with the bangles that I had and now I have a whole assortment of bangles to wear to those events that I usually don't know what to wear.

Well the is the usual wearing a scarf as a belt. It is a wonderful concept but sometimes does not look as interesting.Try this ideas that I found u can use a nice bangle or ring to act a buckle to the belt. You can also use a brooch to add detail to the scarf belt.

So get those several scarves you have tucked away in your close and try one of the options above. And when you see a nice scarf being sold on the streets get one cause it may come in handy.

Brooches

When I think of brooches the first thing that comes into my mind is an old lady but honestly this is one very essential accessory that any woman should have. They are an excellent addition to your wardrobe

 They can be elegant to simple.

They can represent a hobby that one has

There are even african brooches

Some brooches are really expensive like the 72.86 carat aquamarine brooch with diamond bow in platinum which i would not mind to get as a birthday present.

So what are this many uses of a brooch. Well there is the usual decorative purpose on your favorite coat. One can use a brooch as a hair accessory, you can use it directly on your hair or pin it onto a headband or ribbon you can tie at the back and there you have a hair accessory that is unique to you.

And what about that dull clutch bag that needs a bit of detail just pin a brooch onto it and there an awesome clutch for an upcoming event.

You know those bad hair days and you have to go for an event or just an outing and you need a nice hat. Well depending on how creative you are you can make a cute hat with the brooch giving some detail to it or you can even end up making a cute fascinator.

Your pendant can also be used a pendant for a necklace or bracelet. The best thing about using it as a pendant is that you get to have a unique bracelet and necklace.

You can use the brooch in tying your scarf, it gives you the freedom to be more creative and it adds a bit of elegance to it.

Another interesting to use brooches is as a shoe clip. If you have two identical brooches or you can dare to be different and use different brooches. You can place the brooch at the front of the shoe or at the side of the shoe.

Now this was the most interesting use of a brooch that I found. Using them to make napkin rings. When you are having people over and you want to impress them, well here is an idea for you.

Whether it is an interesting piece

Or a Givenchy Haute Couture brooch

Make sure you have this accessory in your wardrobe.
