What We Wore: Street Style at The Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week With Seyi Adenowo
01:57
Hey guys!
Sorry for staying away for so long. Was planning on making this a #nsfdw2016 recap but last minute decided to go with a style post. Said post is in collaboration withSeyi Adenowo of NOWO.
Seyi and I have been best friends for ten years now. Quite scary when I think about it but we became friends in high school and most people thought we wouldn't last we're really very different. Just look at our personal style.
The journey was never smooth but I'm really glad we persevered. Since I'm not necessarily mushy, I'm sure she'll be shocked to read this.
I'm probably feeling mushy because guess who's blog turned 2 today? That's right people! This blog began on the 18th of August, 2014 after procrastinating for almost two years. I'll be putting up a full blog post about it soon, plus a giveaway!
So the theme of our outfits?
Nope. Not pointy heels.
The theme was supposed to be all black. Seyi was all excited about having found a "black" outfit. And on the d-day, I found her wearing this printed romper which is NOT black. She's still not convinced though.
Here's to may more years of Mira La Belle eh? Thanks for all the love. Not sure what the blogversary post is going to be about yet though.
Benefits of blogging? The evolution of Mira La Belle?
Leave a comment, help me decide, I'd love to hear from you!

Random fact: I'm sort of a trouble maker.
Peep the tassel pendant from this DIY post? It was fairly easy to make and I love how it complements my flowy bohemian vibe. I'm wearing a top and skirt though, both long. Some how, it works.
Whilst all-black outfits are really fashionable, the real reason for this outfit is that I was an intern for the show (like I mentioned in this post). It was really fun *coughs* stressful *coughs* though. I got to work backstage and also met a lot of cool people. Met Iju of @njcworks again (she took the lovely pictures) among other people.
So this is what I wore minus the sunglasses and heels. Ha ha. It's amazing how shoes change an outfit.
What I wore to Day 2:

What I wore to Day 2:
Seyi didn't attend so I went solo. Look at me looking all "interny" and busy.
So who noticed the anklet? *covers face* Seyi actually made it for me a while ago but I'd been using it as a bracelet. Just you know, trying new things. Not sure anklets are for me though.
Do you remember this top and the skirt above from my "All black everything" post?

Seyi ohh! How is this outfit black?? You both def look different, but I've realised that the best friendships are often made of different people. Congrats on 2 years!! I'll love to see a post on the Evolution and of course you can always include anything else you fancy. Higher Heights!

Firstly, let me start by congratulating you (lol) that sounded a bit formal though. Cheers to many more years of blogging and i love the outfit. It so Mirabelle;like it depicts your personality and all and i love how you stay true to your style.
ReplyDeleteI think the blogiversary post should be on the evolution of Mirabelle, i will certainly love to read that and i'm sure a lot of people would want that too.

DeleteLol! Thanks! When Seyi wanted to put her post up, she called asking for the concept behind my outfit. Fam! Only concept was colour. I just dressed for comfort and voila!
Yayyyy!! Happy blogaversary!! Many many more blogging years are in your future!!! Enjoy them!!
ReplyDeleteSeyi's rumper, cool as it is isn't all black.. Lol
You on the other hand, wow! It's beautiful and I'd never have thought of it..
Meanwhile, I also have a troublemaker best friend!!
Wait that's a top and skirt right? Love the layering! You should do the evolution post, it is always nice to look back and see how far you've come. Even more fitting when you do it on your anniversary.

I agree with The Evolution of Mira La Belle. Congrats on clocking two years! Is that henna on Seyi's ankle? Would love to do that xx

Thank you!
DeleteYea, it's Henna. Would love to do it too.
Congrats on two years of blogging. I'm still looking at Seyi's outfit and wondering if it's me or it's not black but somehow somehow it made you guys look so chic and different in a good way. I also want to read the evolution of Miralabelle.
