Love Affair with My Funky Iro & Buba

Hello My Loviessss,

How are you all doing? I hope you all had a good two weeks in the blogsphere while i was away? I have a small confession to make and i know some people can totally relate to what i am about to say.

So this blogging thing wasn't forced on me o, i don't know why lately it been like a lot of work to blog. Anyone who truly knows me would tell you i am an all or none kind of person. If i am unable to do or continue anything, i very quickly speak up so i do not disappoint anyone.

You know how i thought the only problem i had with my lack of blog buzz was not going out enough? Ermmmm, well it turns out its a lot more than that. I recently did an evaluation of what the other issues could be and came up with my list below: (Me and my lists...lol)

- Work pressure (normal, what else is new)
- Fear of being boring with my outfits because trust me, i find some very popular blogger styles boring. It feels like same, same all the time.(True fear) 
- Still trying to venture out of my comfort zone with my style. ( I am a true chic-classy-subtly sexy kind of girl).
- Currently doing some serious spring cleaning in my closet and giving out 80% of what i own. (That would automatically live me with just 20% and would force me to be more creative).
- Bored with my shoes (Problem of a tall big feet girl)
- Haven't shopped in a really longggggggggggggggg time so i am bored with my clothes
- Unexciting photo locations. (My office or my house)
- Still a struggle to get who to take pictures.

So my dear loviessss, these are some of what stylefash the blogger struggles with.

Anyways, since i know my dear readers can sense when i am slightly off or not feeling the whole blog thing, i decided to take some timeout last week. I wouldn't honestly say i am really back, but i almost there. So please bear with me my lovies if you refresh this page and don't find regular updates. But i would try my best. 

 On to todays post, Lord knows that my love affair with the iro & buba didn't just start but the trendy silk and chiffon fabrics has definitely made the love affair stronger...lol.

 Oh, i must mention that i don't really like the knot trend; i think i have tried it once, it looked really nice on me but i still prefer the normal wrapper tying way.

 I am so comfortable in them and can wear them almost every weekend. I have even lost count of how many i own.

  Apart from making the Iro & Buba, my favorite part is actually picking out the fabrics. It gives me fabrigasm...lol.
I am so in love with this houndstooth print fabric. Might make something else with this one.
I have also caught the guipure bug and i got a few recently and can not wait to make. These wouldn't be for Iro & Buba. I plan to make a lovely dress, a nice top & skirt with the champagne & black one. Haven't quite figured out what style to make for the coral one. Any Ideas?
Funnily enough, i think i choose fabrics like my mummy dearest because i still have some of the ones she left and i see my own daughter wearing some of these guipure fabrics in future.

Thanks for always reading lovies and understanding when i have my blog mood swings. 

Have an amazing week ahead.

xoxo.

    2. A very lovely piece style fash. I love love your Buba and I can't wait to own one. And I agree with u on the knot wrapper style which seems to be the rage these days, making every one look like ' taiwo and kehinde' .tho it suits me sha. I love love the Guipure lace. Am totally in love with Lace dresses and structured skirts and blouses (not the up and down) . I see my self doing amazing things with those awesome fabric of yours.

  9. I love all the new fabrics and the ones you wore too, the first one looks like ankara though. I'm getting tired of the knot wrapper too. I will suggest you make a simple peplum top with the coral one with special sleeves, would be very nice. I really wanna be part of your spring cleaning, please holla at your girl. :D
    Miss you here, will be here whenever you feel up to blogging.
