Lesson from Genevieve's ensemble and how to get her look for less!



Hey peeps, so we all saw this picture of the gorgeous actress yesterday and were like WOW right? I termed the look #SimplicityRe-defined. Very understated and classy - typical Genevieve. Honestly, i smiled at a lot of comments i read on several blogs and other site, why? Because am certain a lot of you have similar if not 'the exact same' ensemble (pleated silk top, distressed denim and pumps) but just never thought to style it it this way. 



Her outfit is just a clear example of the huge difference that exists between style and trend. Am sure you will agree with me that there's absolutely nothing 'new' in what she's wearing, the 'wow factor' comes in on the way it was put together - from her pants to her silk blouse and pumps. It might just be a simple day-time look but this (on Genny) is exactly what styling should be about, understated, edgy and classy

Okay now, enough of the story, so yours truly 'moi' got to the shopping for you my fabulous readers and and found some really affordable similar items. Here it is below and how you can purchase them online




pants - available on jumia here
Purse - available on jumia here
Belt - available on jumia here (go for a leopard print for that touch of edge)
Statement ring - available on jumia here
Top and pumps - Na wa for Nigerian shopping site o, couldn't find any! however, there's this lovely top from ASOS here and Zara pumps here
Hair - abeg, go find ya own. Lol!
Neck piece -  they have a lot of similar ones down town Lagos island a.k.a Balogun!

As they say, LESS IS ALWAYS MORE. Have fun guys and lots of love!

Love,
SolaDunn.
