HOW TO STAY STYLISH ON A BUDGET

 

 Hey beautiful people!

Now besides thrifting one of the ways to stay stylish on a budget is to make your own clothes or employ the services of an affordable and reliable (emphasis on reliable) tailor. While this is no easy feat especially in Nigeria, she who finds a good tailor finds favour before God and man lol.

Today's posts featuring this multi colour trench jacket was custom made by my tailor, mommy Clara who made this flared top set. I got this piece made all under 3,000 Naira including the fabric. I just purchased basic sample material, chose a style and this was the finished product. This jacket was actually supposed to be a kimono but my tailor mixes it up. Hence this piece is not as versatile as I'd like. Thankfully, all things work together for our good. 

For styling I just paired it with all black in a pleated midi skirt with a stunning lace detailed hemline styled here. Finally, I added some cat eye frames to complete the look. In the future I'd probably style this trench jacket with blue jeans or my pink high waist trousers. 

Now if you follow my instastories especially over the weekend, you would have seen the behind the scenes process of this look right from the shoot to the editing of the photos. Blogging really isn't easy or as glamorous as it seems but we do it for the love.

And Happy Democracy Day to all my Nigerians out there. Now I know the country is not all that great right now but let's focus on the positives, we have come a long way after all.

How are you all doing? How do you stay stylish on a budget? What tips would you give to a fashionista on a budget? How would you style this trench?

Till next time!
