LOOKBOOK: LAVINCE HIGHWAIST TROUSERS 2 WAYS
Hey beautiful people!
Now if there’s one good thing about the current economy crisis in
Nigeria, it is the push to buy made in Nigeria goods as opposed to imported items. And our local designers have
really stepped up to the plate. One of such designers is Lavince, which is
based in Abuja but ships nationwide.
Seeing
the affordability and timelessness of their items, I thought I'd reach out to
them and style some of their pieces. Now by affordable, I mean clothing
items that one can easily pick up without having to starve. Because in this
economy I find it hard to justify spending large amounts on one pieces of
clothing, my thoughts and pocket though.
Today,
I'll be styling in two ways, this high waist pin stripe trousers which costs less than 5k
and the material and fit feel so good. And for my tall ladies out there
these trousers are very long, I had to fold it in for this shoot, so you’re
covered.

is not a sponsored post by the way but you get a 10% discount on any purchase
by simply saying Princess Audu sent you.
For
this first look, I paired the trousers with a delicate lace crop top previously
styled here and here. I also added a pop of red with my Zara sandals and a pop
of print with this polka dot clutch. I think this look would be great for perhaps
a date night, party or even church as the trousers are loose fitting.
Now trousers are one of closet staple I can't live without, especially high waist trousers. In the past, I've styled my two favourite pairs in lookbooks (here and here).

For this second look I styled a royal blue shift dress also from Lavince over the trousers. I've been seeing the dress over pants trend for a while now and thought these two pieces actually pair well together. I then added a belt to define my waist and give the look more character.

This is an item I'd definitely rock over and
over again. I could style it with a basic T-shirt or pair it
with my burgundy crop top (here) for a more night time appropiate look. I could also go
for a mixed print look with floral prints like (this) or a stripe top as seen (here)
Trousers: Lavince Here || Lace Top: Thrift || Shoes: Zara || Shift Dress: Lavince Here
Hope you all had a productive weekend. I spent part of mine meeting up with fellow content creators in Abuja and it was so much fun. Shout out to all the bloggers out there doing their thing, we are actually a lot more than most people think.

Thanks so much Linda, how you been. It's been a while.
DeleteYou look so chic and stylish. Both looks are gorgeous, but my favorite look is the second one with the shift dress. It's stylishly unusual. My Wardrobe staple for me are Jumpsuits and probably Asymmetrical dresses. BTW your hair is lovely.
