Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I had a truly merry christmas!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't the rice or chicken or cake.  Neither was it the outings nor parties nor music.....it was all because I did something I had never done before....*Big smile*

I had planned to do a little something for kids in the orphanage during the holidays but it seemed like my plan wouldn't work out because my car was acting up and I couldn't go to the market to get gifts for these kids :(. As God would have it, on the eve of christmas, my cousin told me her friends and herself had bought gifts to give orphaned kids on christmas day.  I was super excited and volunteered to join the charity group.  We spent the night sorting out the christmas gifts and wrapping them up till midnight. 

So on christmas day, four of us set out to Ajah and we did it!!!!!!! It was a great experience for us and we had fun. I even learnt to how to dance 'Kukere' and I've been dancing it all day (Thanks to the kids).  So I thought I should share a photos of my day..............

NUDE

Lets talk about my favourite colour (for this week) -NUDE!!!!!!

Nude is not one colour but a range of colours similar to skin tones.It’s a common description of the shade a little darker than champagne, lighter than sand and perhaps with a hint of blush or peach (confusing right!!!).
Another way to examine nudes is to compare them to typical foundation colours

e

This chart  shows the transition from dark to light skin tones.

I most especially love nude shoes. They match easily with other pieces and subtly stand out with any outfit. They will calm down your "craziest" outfit, but also point out your favorite one (as you surely don't want someone to look at shoes instead of outfit,especially when you spent hours dressing up!) One important factor to keep in mind when shopping for nude shoes is to select a color closet to your natural skin tone. Nude shoes that blend perfectly with your skin tone also help to make vertically challenged ladies(like me) look taller..

Boardroom chick

I bet everyone has heard the phrase "dress for success" at some point in time.

You cannot de-emphasize the importance of looking good at work. Not only does it improve your professionalism, it also boosts your self confidence and increased self confidence makes a good impression at all times.  If you are an entrepreneur, a teacher, banker, civil servant, lawyer or if you work where I work, please DRESS FOR SUCCESS at all times.

So I'm not gonna bore you with too much stories, the message is clear. I'd just share a few tips (as always) on work essentials that are stylish, pocket-friendly and professional.

1. Essential bottoms

Please stock your wardrobe with essentials - Pencil skirt, a pair of straight or flared trousers and ofcourse, the all important black dress. (Not too short ooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

2. Blazer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can rock one blazer at work or at play. (Read post on blazers please) 

3. Essential colors

Black, navy blue, brown and grey.  Get yourself a grey/black bottoms and black blazer. Navy blue blazers rock on khaki colored or grey bottoms.

4. Essential tops

Get yourself chiffon blouses in all colors and patterns (but not too busy patterns please). You want to look modern, chic and professional at the same time.  Also invest in some work shirts - TM shirts are available almost everywhere, get a few (Please check twice as nice - They are currently on sales)

5. Accessorize

Accessories are great but please don't over do it, you are not going for a party.

6. You'll find great deals shopping with NEFERTIT FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
