Beauty Style Growth: African

It's been two weeks since I started working on the Growth Studio full time and I tell you, it's been busy. My house is still a mess and I still haven't gotten my nails done. These are a few of the things I wanted to do since I now have time but no, I still have so much to do to build the business. I think I finally have some time to squeeze in blogging. We'll see.

This is what I wore to church on Sunday. It's an American and African Hybrid. There's a lot of creativity around styling the African print these days. The skirts are sometimes shorter in length and can be worn with a button down shirt, chambray, a tee or sweater, as in this case. And I'm loving my lipstick from Avon. I'm wearing the Cherry Jubilee Ultra Color Rich Lipstick. It's great for dark skin tones and lasts all day.

AVON

I wore this to outfit to a birthday party over the weekend. It's custom made and it's called an aso ebi (ashor ebi) which means many friends of the celebrant had the same fabric in different styles. As you know I'm originally from Nigeria and I still strongly cherish my heritage and have family and friends from Nigeria here. A lot of parties and weddings are done Nigerian style and you will almost often find people wearing Lace or Ankara (another type of fabric) in different styles.

I'm without my head tie (gele) in the first picture because I'm not skilled in tying it on my head. I usually take my gele along with me and find someone to do it for me.
