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.

 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)

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.
