Living off Skirts.

Featured By Simply Style By J

Hello beautiful people, welcome back! I am always excited to get back to these keyboards to express my fashion thoughts. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below on the left side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

It’s funny how I am African but can’t stand the heat wave here in America. It is humid, and super uncomfortable. I am 100% certain at this point that the sun and its humidity is definitely different than Nigeria.

Due to the discomfort summer brings, I decided to incorporate light weight skirts into my wardrobe for summer. If I need to wear trousers, I gravitate towards Palazo Pants or Culottes.

This is an old skirt from seasons back I got from FOREVER21. Pretty sure it’s out but I will link something else HERE & HERE

I was going for a Tan and Cream look, so I styled each individual item with the aim of achieving the color scheme. Shoes are STEVE MADDEN and you can shop same shoes HERE

This statement necklace is a THRIFT find and it’s ANN TAYLOR!! going for $4!!!! The price at which I got it for is incredible, that’s why I love thrifting because it is a challenge for me to find quality items without a cost.

Top is a FOREVER21 (OLD)which works as a staple piece in my closet.

Got my bag from Francesca’s and you can shop same one HERE

Hello beautiful people, welcome back! I am excited to always have new friends here, so welcome. For those visiting, join the family by clicking the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let us stay connected.

Skirts are the most comfortable and breathable outfits this season. They come in various fabrics but I will personally opt for satin, silk, flair, polyester, slits, button downs etc. Jeans are not the way to go right now. I love this Who What Wear midi-skirt because not only is it stylish and breathable, it is perfect for summer.

A gorgeous mix of colors, which made me style with a LEVI’S Tee, a flat shoes by KARL LAGERFELD and a STEVE MADDEN cross body bag you can shop HERE

I STRONGLY advise you visit my Vintage Clothing Shop HERE as there is an ongoing sale on select items.

This was one of my most fun shoots with my friend CJ. We found this spot and got stuck with it. Good environment and perfect angles.

This outfit is a good choice for brunch or day-time activities with friends. You can switch this look to a night-time look by having those perfect heels on and a stack of bangles.

I left three buttons open, in other to create the illusion of a front slit, which turned out perfect. You can decide to style it whichever way too. A tank top and a pair of blazers is also a great way to style this skirt, a crop top, or a top with puff sleeves. Any choice of color will be great as no one cares how you mix and match your colors, just make it FASHIONABLE!!!!!!!

I am excited also that this is my 99th blog post since I started blogging and sharing my thoughts about fashion. I pray my 100th post brings greater accomplishments for my Blog.

I am Joy and I love to keep things simple and relatable.

It is amazing how I have had this top for 5 years and it still fits. Not hoarding, but I never see it and when I do I am like “OH this Top is here, let me style it one more time” I would be giving it out soon.

Have you checked out the NEW Listings in my Vintage Clothing Store? Check it out HERE

These pants are a perfect example of summer vibes. Its colors, designs, florals and pleat is a great mix that depicts the season. It’s a Newlook item which was gifted to me by my sister-in-law and has been one of the fun staple pieces in my closet.

Top from Primark, earrings from H&M, Shoes from Old Navy. I linked these Items on my previous post. you can check them out and shop.

Shoes extremely comfortable, good choice for summer and if you need something flat, stylish and comfortable. Top is light weight and suitable for the weather. I chose to style the pants with Teal because it’s one of the highlighted colors on the pants.

You can choose whatever color you desire.

Statement earrings are a great choice for accessorizing if you have less make up or you need to create a focus on your face. I will link a couple of statement earrings below to shop.

You can certainly style this top in various ways, one of which is with a work wear pants or skirt to create a work wear or a pair of White Jeans to help create a contrast with the Teal shade and make it stand out.

Same option goes for the Pants as you have various options in styling it. I would suggest a graphic Tee, a white shirt, tank tops, Blazers, Jumpers etc. You can also decide to mix florals together, no harm, it’s fashion and make it stylish!!!!

The sun is getting hotter by the day and thank God the days of tornadoes are behind us! We had a terrible straight two-weeks tornado episodes. However, I am back to share this monotone look with a work wear shirt.

First off, kindly check out the new listings in my VINTAGE CLOTHING SHOP Here

Did I mention how I am in love with lace fabrics? especially those that come in bigger cords. They are rich in their quality, looks and texture, but can be tricky as when you don’t go for the right size, style and design.

A basic corporate shirt can be worn in several ways. You can switch this up at work if you have to catch up with friends for drinks after work. All you have to do is roll up the sleeves, let a few buttons down and knot it up to help accentuate your waist line.

This skirt is one of the prettiest item I have owned. It is very unique and can be worn in different ways. The color and pattern is fabulous, elevating the looks of a basic work wear shirt. My friend CJ certainly knows how to capture details.

Shirt is linen which is one of the most annoying fabrics ever!! The wrinkage level on this fabric cannot be over-emphasized.

Paired my look with an Old Navy sling back Teal Faux Suede sandals, H&M Earrings and my straw bag from Looks like summer

Wonderful weather, very airing and calm. As usual, went for a little hangout with my friend CJ at the Midwest City Shopping center at Tinker Air force Base.

Entire outfit is pretty old except my Hat and Bag. I decided to have the hat and the straw bag because we had a park location shoot which was a perfect way to add a picnic look to my outfit. The hat is from TARGET which I absolutely love because is packable, adjustable and great to shade the UV rays from my face.

The Straw bag which is one of my most recent spring summer buy, is from Looks Like Summer and they have a beautiful range of bags. You can shop mine HERE it’s called the Grace Straw Basket Bag.

I totally love the lace and polka dots details on this Top which I got it last season from Marshalls and the prefect blend of the Denim fabric wide leg pants from Love Culture you can get something similar HERE

A beautiful yet windy Easter Sunday, I spent half the time controlling my hair and hoping the wind doesn’t blow away my wig away! lol. With no clue on what to wear to church, I wanted something light and easy to throw on. In a second, I grabbed the top and pants, not knowing how I was going to style them yet, put them on and I said hmm why not go for an all yellow tonal look!!! Bam I paired with my shoes from Aldo , my Target Bag and my Earrings.

I hope everyone had a pleasant Easter celebration with friends and family. For me, it was a very chilled day, went to church, got home, spoke to family back home, ate lunch and spent the rest of my day watching a series ” The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” I recommend watching it.

You can also take a sneek peak of my Vintage Clothing Store HERE and shop your favorites.

It is spring and I decided to incorporate a couple of pastel colours into my colour scheme outfits. I knew I wanted to style this my top by Whowhatwear being a cool tone that will go perfectly with my Chic and Stylish Jacket from Shein. Never shopped in Shein but this was a good buy, although I got some wrong picks in there.

I will advise that when shopping from Shein, go a size up because they run small in fits ie it’s a China brand.

Paired the Top and Jacket with the Alfred Dunhill Pastel Yellow Pants I have had for quite a while now. I love it because I can style it as a work wear, casual outfit and night out with friends. For my accessories, I styled with a dainty pearl pin earings to match the pearls on the jacket, my Giogio Armani favorite wristwatch, flat pair of beige shoes and my blurred out yellow mini crossbody bag on the table right there.

Hello everyone, welcome back! The past weekend came with chills and winds. We had to layer up for the last days of winter (hopefully). I have something exciting to share with you all but first, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, kindly hit the follow button below in the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

On March 30th, I launched my my Vintage Clothing Shop!!!! Check it out HERE and I ship worldwide. If you know a little about me on here, I usually style a couple of vintage pieces and I love hw unique and different the stand out! Hence, I decided to start up an online clothing store where you can find and purchase all the exceptional pieces I have sourced for and handpicked.

I must say, I am very excited yet a little tensed about this current situation because it’s a path I have never taken, but I am willing to learn and grow in it. I am also happy I get to make available timeless pieces made of quality fabrics.

Did I mention this denim Skirt is Vintage? Styling these items with modern day clothes are one of my best styling activities. They expand my creativity and I appreciate textures, patterns and designs in different ways.

Prints are in!! All kinds and sorts. I was able to snag this Zebra Print Turtle Neck Top from Shein , it’s super light weight and soft.

I will link different types and styles here for you to choose→→This from Missguided →This from Shein →This from Forever21 →This from TJ Maxx →This from bloomingdales

My goal is to find affordable quality items for My Shop . Would also state that “I do not own the manufacturing rights to these vintage items”, but happy to source for them.

If you are willing to ditch Fast Fashion for items that are outstanding, then My Shop is a place you should visit frequently. This Banana Republic Denim Skirt is a subsitute for mine.

I hope you visited My Shop and enjoyed this blog post. You can leave your comments and suggestions while you hit the follow button below. Have a blessed week. Xoxo Joy.

An interesting day again with CJ, after we had driven around town, looking for a good picture location, dealing with shadows in our tests shoot, we ended on a busy bridge with tonnes of people walking by. Could our photo session get any worse? No, but we had to summon courage for the lens.

My shirt had wrinkled from the long sitting and driving, but I was hell bent on shooting this look. Achieving this casual day time look, I styled my multi-colored shirt with a white denim, paired with my midi block heels from Cato Fashion which I absolutely recommend as a transitional piece for spring. They are sold out on these because I got them last season. Linking a couple here Miu Miu Camel-Brown Heels which you can also shop from Current Boutique and this VERY similar one by Spring Step .

One of my first 80s VINTAGE thrifted item is this shirt by CALICHE COLLECTION which I found on a random Etsy Shop HERE

Hello everyone, welcome back. I will be sharing a simple and quick post on how to style a satin scarf. I did a practical video on this on my Instagram TV, you can check out my instagram @onyins to see more on that video.

Before we dive into this blog post, if you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

In the bid of taking these pictures, I was practically sinking into the grass in other to get a good spot. Any ways, I want to talk about this H&M satin scarf.

Such a beautiful, huge, multi-colored, patterned scarf I used to create this ruche. I laid the scarf out, folded it into two, threw over my neck, making sure that the length on each sides were equal, used a slim belt to secure it round my waist, adjusted as required and moved the scarf around to create the ruche/pleats.

I chose to style this scarf by wearing an all cream outfit, to create a matching contrast on the scarf. Linking this DKNY Scarf here, it’s huge, suitable to create this look and can also be found in MACYs . Also this one Here which can be found in H&M.

Paired with my VERY OLD Primark, sandals which has different prints and patterns. I would link a similar one here→→ this Jean-Michel ankle strap sandals has a similar outlook with mine and you can also get in on THEREALREAL .

Paired with my Aldo Andressera Crossbody bag

The Streets and Fashion.

Featured By Simply Style By J 2 Comments

Hello everyone, welcome back. It is officially Spring today as I compose this post, so I am aware that we will all be excited about the warmth we have now.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, please hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

Saturday morning, CJ and I decided to take the streets for our photo session. The first couple of hours was a hassle because we had chosen Brick town here in Oklahoma City, little did we know that it would be packed full with people because it was a beautiful warm day.

We took it down to the streets, with a number of people walking around, road blocks and people staring, we kept doing our thing. At first, I was a little uncomfortable because I have never gone out out to take pictures in a busy City where people are watching. After a while, I became confident and didn’t care, walking and flipping my hair across the streets.

On to this Ralph Lauren Blazer! It was the focal point of this shoot. I chose to go with an all white look, to help accentuate the Blazer. I love this long-line Blazer because it has an awesome cut, the side pockets, the detailed gold buttons, on the sleeves and front area. I linked a couple of long-line blazers here Theory Super-Cinch Fremont Plaid Long-Line Blazer through Neiman Marcus from Shop Style Collective . This Anne Klein Bold Stripe Blazer Jacket is similar to it and you can get it from Nordstrom Rack Here

Stacked with a three tier necklace I got from Charlotte Russ (unfortunately they are closing down) hoops and my purse as the accessories.

You can style with any basic white tank top of your choice. I linked these here for you guys Treasure & Bond white tank> White Jeans from H&M will link a couple here by Vince Camuto this by Style & Co.

Shoes by Aldo purse by New Look. Linking a this gorgeous pair of shoes here by Botkier can be found also under Bloomingdale’s and this La Regale gold clutch purse which can be found at OFF 5TH

Hey lovelies, how are you all doing? I am curious to know what your weather feels like wherever you are, because mine keeps surprising us with a minus feel.

I went for a bloggers closet sale event and was able to pick an item from all the closets. Typically, while I shop, I envision how I would style or pair each item while sometimes, I buy an item because it’s nice and has styling potential.

I was able to snag this plaid A-line mini whowhatwear skirt from @thedandyliar closet and its super soft, nice and has these bold brown buttons on the side. Found the exact same skirt, and you can shop from Target Here

Did I say how much I love the mix of cream, black and red? These colours are usually one of the best combinations that would help when choosing your colour of accessories.

Because I have an ankle lenght boot, I decided to style this skirt with my mock turtle neck top by H&M and you can shop same type Here , also paired with my Vintage lenghty sweater. The details and placements on this sweater is so unique.

Same black glossy patent boots I have had for a while now by Kenneth Cole which I have linked something similar Here

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing great. If you haven’t yet subcribed to my blog, hit the folow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s stay connected.

Today’s blog will be about how I spent a relaxed Sunday evening with a friend CJ.

Meeting CJ for the first time in person although we had opened communications via instagram and text messaging, I decided to go with a monochromatic look. It was one of the easiest outfits I put together in couple of minutes.

Weather was pretty awesome hence my open toe shoes from Aldo which I have had for quite a long time now.

CJ planned the photo session which turned out great, we tried out scenes to achieve great pictures and finally ended the evening by having a wonderful dinner at Stella Modern Italian Cuisine with a heck of catching up and getting to know each other better.

Choosing a montone outift is one easy styling techinique you can adopt in making your get-ready session fast and simple. I love this sweater I got from Burlington because its simple and it has those cute crossing at the chest area, making the neckline stand out. Got it off the racks but I found something similiar with a different colour Here

I love the gold cuff details on this shoe, gives my ankle a stronger grip and looks stylsih. Choose this colour of shoes, to create a bit of contrast to the whole blush pink look. This is quite an old shoe, but if you desire to have a shoe with almost same ankle cuff look, I linked this Aldo shoes Here for you to shop.

This cute little bag I got as a birthday gift few hours ago, was my go-to pick for this look. It is an Aldo crossbody bag which you can shop the exact same one Here

Love the Burgundy and Blush look. Burgundy is a winter/fall colour which can also be worn in summer.

Pants I also got as a gift few hours ago, very light weight, pleated with mini draw belt aroung the waist. It’s from Ross and it’s a good choice for spring and summer!

Threw on my thick warm fringe scarf from H&M which complimented my whole look!. You can find similar H&M chunky fabric woven fringe scarfs Here

Also find similar ones Here Here

CJ is such a beautiful, warm young lady with soo much aspiration and as a fashion blogger like me, we would continue to give each other the support that we can offer, to achieve our dreams. You can check her out on instagram as @cheonhwajones, and show her some love.

30 in Neon.

Featured By Simply Style By J

Hello everyone, how are you doing? If you are new to my blog, welcome! My name is Joy and I post regular updates of my fashion and style tips. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my blog, hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen, so we stay connected.

When this post goes up, I will be 12 hours away from my 30th birthday!!!!! Super excited that I have learnt from my 20s and ready to discover more in my 30s.

I only started blogging September of 2017, started with baby steps and through these periods, I have gained more insight on how to better share my views on fashion, styling and beauty. In life, you never stop learning, there is room for massive growth and development, there is a lot of potential we all have that we need to key into. So far, I am not exactly where I would love to be, but I am delighted that God brought me this far.

If you follow my instagram page, I did a story previously on how I styled this Cardigan differently, but this time, I dressed it up. Dug out these my River Island shoes (old) that I have had for about 4 years now, styled perfectly with my neon cardigan.

You desire to wear a leggings but not comfortable with your butt hanging out, you style with a long Tee or Shirt, in that way, it covers your butt area. I chose a black long shirt to go over my faux leather Aldo leggings.

Most times I get so complacent with my pin earrings, but I had to consciously put on those earrings from H&M and you can shop for something similar Here

It has been a period of growth for me, both spiritual, mental and physical. I have actively excommunicated things and people that are not healthy for my mind, body and soul. I have conciously built and still building good and healthy relationships, disregarded things and people that have no substance to my personal and subsconscious growth, I have continued to search God’s word and His purpose for me here on earth.

For this my new age, I pray I continue to be self aware of who I am, the things I can acheive if I set my mind to do, realise that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13), and I have the spirit of God in me to make be, things that need to be.

Hose and Pumps.

Featured By Simply Style By J

Hey lovelies, I am back again and this time, I am introducing one of my long old style tip. If you haven’t yet subcribed to my blog, hit the follow button below on the right side of your screen and let’s get connected!

It has been a long tradition to style outfits with panty hose and open toe shoes. With the air becoming more cold and windy, a panty hose is one way to look stylish without wearing Jeans or Pants.

Most times, I double my panty hose if I feel the need to due to the temperature. The thicker ones are usually soft and they keep you warm through the day.

My colour block sweater was a way of avoiding an all black look, because I love a bit of colour on my outfits. You can also decide to wear boots or flat shoes with your Panty hose, and not neccessarily an open toe shoe (sandals).

It was such a gloomy day but I had to take these pictures for the blog and I am glad I did!. These block heel shoes are one of my comforatble shoes, and I wear them when I am avoiding a black pair of shoes but at the same time don’t want a bright coloured shoes.

My Satin shoes by Report in Lawren design can be found Here but sadly it is out of Stock. You can always save the link to know when it is back in stock.

Topped up my look with my Vintage Carmel Coat by Rothschild, to blend with the colours on my dressbarn sweater (old) and my JustFab mini black skirt (old) but you can find something similar Here

If you read my previous post on Layering, this is one technique you can use for layering. A termal underneath your sweater, a couple of panty hose, your skirt, sweater and Coat.

You can literally thrown on any color on a black and white outfit and it would work just perfect.

This is for my ladies who still love to rock their ripped jeans. This a hybrid of casual and classy because of the Faux Fur Jacket, I love the color of this jacket because it is a deviation from black but still on a dark shade.

This Jacket is a Vintage find by Peyton-Marcus (I intend to sell this soon, been worn twice for just photoshoots, still in good condition, keep your eyes peeled for when it is up for sale).
