My mother's daughter


Some things have their own perks. I am a big girl and my mum is not small either. So I am lucky in so many ways because we do share a lot in common especially when it comes to style. The only thing I am not so lucky with is she is not a shoe person.


That too kind of rubbed off on me. I try though and I think it is because I have options now. She has big feet too and those days Bata was the only shoe shop of repute. Trust me back then shoes for people blessed in the feet department was nothing to write home about.

However she compensated this weakness with jewelry and that is where I pick my love for jewelry. My mum is a fashionista in her on sense (unfortunately for photographic evidence to prove it). She has lovely handbags and a lovely collection of jewelry. I hope I will dig up a photo of her collection.

So whenever I go to visit mum, I do not carry a thing well unless there is a specific outfit I want to wear. This is because more often than not I raid her wardrobe and I can never lack a thing. So when I invaded her wardrobe recently, I fished out this dress that she has not worn in AGES.



I remember this dress vividly when I was six years old. I don’t know why but I do remember it maybe because I had started coveting it back then. So when I picked it I hurried off to try on and guess what IT DID NOT FIT.

And I prayed for a miracle


Damn these hips. 

The hips problem is real


 The dress could not go down past the hips. All the same I took off with it and I it has been hanging in my wardrobe for a year.




 One random Thursday morning, I decided to try it on. IT FIT IT FIT IT FIT.

I danced, a happy dance.



It was not easy but I did it.


I can now afford a hearty laugh

Look at her. Isn't she lovely :)












Meet Jazmine, Jazmine Bond









 A girl has never been that excited. Because of the collar I decided to go big on the neck accessory and a belt so that it is not too plain and brown heels.


I love how it looks.


So what do I score?

Careful with the score you give.







































See you soon.
