Allure By Faith

At wedding parties, it's very normal to see guests wearing outfits made from different fabrics, with the most common fabric being lace. Automatically, some people just assume that as a wedding guest, you only have to use lace fabric to make your outfit. That's a totally wrong assumption, as a wedding guest, you can use any fabric of your choice to make your outfit. Asoebi uniform is not a must, and not everyone can afford Asoebi uniform, plus not every wedding ceremony has Asoebi uniform. So in a situation where you didn't buy or couldn't afford Asoebi uniform, you just have to stick to the colour code of the day and make your outfit with any fabric of your choice, and even some wedding ceremonies don't have colour codes,so there are not strict rules to follow. So in today's blog post, my focus is on classy  Ankara styles for wedding guests, yes you can absolutely rock Ankara Outfits to weddings. Although it is not common, but people do it. I have do...

We all already know how colourful and versatile the Ankara fabric is, so we won't go into all of that today. Today, my focus is on "Ankara Two Piece Set" There are different types of Ankara two piece set, we have the Ankara skirt and blouse two piece set, we have the Ankara top and shorts two piece set and so on. But in this blog post, I am referring to the Ankara Trouser and Top Styles for ladies. The Ankara trouser and top style is one of the most beautiful style out there. It has been in existence and over the years has also evolved just like other Ankara styles. In this blog post, my focus will be on trendy and modern styles, especially for the tops, styles like the crop top style. Trendy styles are styles that are currently on board, trending styles mostly have this stylish and very feminine vibes. We are going to be pairing these beautiful Ankara crop tops with high waisted wide leg trousers. High waisted trousers are very beautiful and I love them, they...

The Ankara skirt and blouse is one of the oldest Ankara styles, it's basically an Ankara top or blouse with a straight skirt. But over the years, the Ankara skirt and blouse has evolved. People add changes and new styles to the good old Ankara skirt and blouse to personalise it. One of such new styles that has captured the heart of many is the peplum Ankara skirt and blouse. The peplum style itself didn't originate in Africa. I am not exactly sure when people started combining Peplum and Ankara, but based on my research, the modern day peplum was introduced by Christian Dior around the 1940s. Then a very creative person found a way to incorporate the peplum into Ankara fashion, all thanks to this person. The peplum Ankara skirt and blouse is very beautiful, stylish, feminine and unique, plus it is loved by many people all over Africa. One thing that makes it a beloved choice is the way it accentuates the wearer's figure. It doesn't matter how you're shap...

Style is timeless, they say, and I think it goes round and round, like a circle. Vintage fashion is more than just our past, It's also our present and maybe even our future. A generation may say that the style of the former generation is old school and start with their own modern style. When you look deep into the modern style, you'll still find elements of the old style. Why? That's because vintage fashion is the very foundation of whatever fashion we have today or might have in the future. It evolves, yes, but it never goes away. It goes round and round and still comes back to its root. I love vintage fashion, and I know so many people do as well. Vintage fashion for me feels like it's telling a story, a timeless story. I love how you are able to have a clue about what your ancestors have worn, how your ancestors looked and all, it's just beautiful. There are some timeless pieces that I have fallen in love with over the years and some that I have been ...

You can't go through social media these days without seeing posts of clothes vendors. They sell beautiful, high quality and stunning outfits. But the thing is, their prices are almost alarming, for example a simple jumpsuit costing around 40,000 naira, ( approximately $24 ) or a simple crop top costing around 15,000 naira, (about $10) Now, to someone living and working abroad or earning in US dollars, it may not seem like a lot, but to the ordinary everyday Nigerian living and working in Nigeria, that's a lot and some person's month end salary. I understand that the country's current situation contributes to the high cost of things, but let's be realistic here. How many Nigerians can actually afford to spend such amount on clothes? Yes people buy them, I see these vendors selling out all the time, but I do know that a lot of people can't afford it either. That is why I have put this blog post together, if you're someone who can't afford such ...
