Texture Slore !

Mix it all I say, but if you're going to do it, go all out. This one of my favorite looks because it is actually hard to pull off. It is not always so easy to do the most but they don't call it the most for nothing. Namibian fashion can sometimes force you to play it safe, but if we are really out to live our best lives, why are we playing something as frivolous as fashion safe? "Life is too short to wear boring clothes" don't allow trends to make you wear things you don't love or feel great in. I admire people that wear black all the time for aesthetics or people that keep their hair the same for image. I'm just not that person. I love a black outfit, but I love color just as much. I love my hair in every which way it can be. When you love and understand who you are people will understand and deal with it. So I'm over here making the world deal with my fashion dope or not.

Now back to this look. I have five textures on; the rose printed choker, the leopard printed bomber jacket, the two textured skirt and the feather heals. Now usually I would tell you to pick one or two and keep it moving, but sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and make the look work. This doesn't mean go crazy and bring back color block vibes. The reason this look works so well is because all the peieces have a common color element which is black. And we all know that with black being the main color all is forgiven and right in the world of fashion. So when in doubt look for the black in every outfit. ;)

S/N Namibian dry cleaner will not clean your leather goods or items that have a leather inserts in them. I have a great blazer from Express and this skirt which I cannot dry clean and I hate it! so if you know a place please let me know. I can't wipe this skirt and that jacket forever.

P.S. I hope you checked out the bomb promo video for the blog post on my Instagram. Yeah I had to do the most #Sleah is a monster that needs to be feed! :)

In LM STYLE,

Mexican Tuxedo

It is finally summer and the minimalistic slay has already began, but let’s be honest; it is hard to transition from all the fab layering we did in winter. So naturally I wanted to do a summer layered look with my version of a “Mexican Tuxedo”. We live in a semi-desert so when summer hits, it hits hard. Hence we pulled out these old denim SHORTS! I don't care what anyone says, tiny shorts will save your life because they are so easy to style. This is my "I'm not Beyoncé because she would never put up with this heat, but if I had to be, I’d probably look like this." Honestly though this is such an easy look for anyone to pull off and it is an all day look which I love. So if you have to do the run around during the day you could still rock this look and tone it down with a fun sneaker (Creepers) or a strappy sandal for my girly girls. Also the jacket can be replaced with denim shirt (the boyfriend kind), but you’d be risking the edginess of this outfit.

Now I know this is about style, but can we take a minute to talk about my LEGS! Let’s be realistic... Rocking shorts is all about the legs. If my legs looked dry, ashy and shapeless, this look would be weak. So I’ll share a little “glow up” secret with you. Now if you are like me and the gym hates you, this is for you. So firstly I’ll say; I'm a pedestrian so I do walk a lot and IFY: I used to play soccer back in the day so naturally my legs don't suck. However if you are trying have that “glowy”, firm, but looks butter kind of legs. You’re going to have to go in with that bronzer.

1. Exfoliate/body scrub them legs (Also, if you have hair. Wax it! Nobody like a Porcupine.)

2. Go in with that lotion. I like to use Nivea (the Dark Blue bottle) because it leaves you with a glow (half the work done.)

3. The most crucial step. BRONZER! Now if you have nice legs just put the bronzer through out. However, if the legs are not on your side you have to strategically place the bronzer on you calf curves back and front following the curves of your legs (Almost like when you highlight your nose.) trust me this will change how you feel about your legs.

P.S. If all this “Glowing Up” is too much. Panty hose with shorts will never fail you. Beyoncé does it all the time and her legs stay looking like butter.
