THE PERFECT AFRICAN PRINT COMBO

Hey Beautiful people!

Looking at the life of Joseph in the bible (Gen 37-50), I feel for both Christians and non-Christians we have a lot of life lessons to learn from him. One of the things I greatly admire about him was his ability to stay true to his values and not compromise. Particularly when the wife of his boss, Potiphar asked him to sleep with her but he adamantly refused and stayed away from her (Gen 39: 7-10), Two things to take away from this:

1. He stuck to his values in the face of temptation and the risk of loosing his job.

2. He knew his weak points and worked to stay away from anything that would make him compromise.

Sarah Speaks: We Call Ourselves Christians

The older we get, the more we understand ourselves and our weakness, we know the points that will make us compromise yet do we work hard to stay away from such things? What is that thing, habit, or even person that’s pulling us back from achieving our goals and purposes? We've got to identify them and stay away from them. Nothing is worth us missing out on Gods plan for our lives or worse missing out on heaven. For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul (Mark 8:36)

Because the truth is these days in our world, the wrong things have become such a norm that it begins to seem right. 

Now, how far can you go to stay true to yourself and values?

Moving on to today's outfit post, there is no greater combination than ankara and a midi skirt. Now I know I say this about a lot of combinations but comm on guys, midi skirts are my favourite ways to rock our African prints. Funny thing is I recently learnt that Ankara was borrowed from the Dutch but hey that wont stop me from rocking it. I am more than determined to add more ankara items to my closet as stated as one of my 2017 Style Resolutions.

I made this skirt sometime ago and I've styled it here. And trust me when I say these type of skirts are so easy, it makes me wonder why tailors charge so much for something so basic. Would you guys like a tutorial? Today I paired it with my neck tie blouse (here) and my trusted Nude pumps which have been too faithful over the years.
