      We all have to admit that old school is definitely making it's way back in a triumphant way. If you are a 80's or 90's chick then you are definitely conversant with the denim dungaree trend but this trend disappeared for a while but recently we are seeing it make it's way back into the fashion world.

   Dungarees are cool, comfortable outfit easy to style. You could go from casual to chic to stylish in a twinkle of an eye.

Major Ways To Style Your Dungarees

• Roll up your dungaree and pair with a sport bra and denim jacket.  Complete the look with a nice pair of sneakers and statement sunglasses.

• Pair your dungaree with a tshirt and plaid shirt with sneakers

• Pair your dungaree with a long sleeve shirt and men inspired flat.

• Wear your short dungaree with a see through lace top.

• Style your dungaree with a long sleeve blouse/stripped blouse.

• For a chic look, pair with a tank,  colourful belt and a nice pair of heels. Don't forget your chic handbag.

  
   I will also be writing on how to style your dungaree, the ones that are not made of denim. New segments coming up on the blog. Kindly subscribe.  Thank you.

    I was staying home alone with my younger sister on a casual Thursday afternoon when I decided to film a makeup tutorial (Yes I'm also a makeup artist). After setting up, I wasn't really feeling my tank so I swapped it for a little bit oversized vintage shirt which could also pass as a beach shirt or just patterned shirt.

  Meanwhile I was wearing a mini aztec print skirt underneath, I was oblivious to the fact that I had just paired these two outfits together until I saw the pictures. I had to say I fell in love with the way it looked then I realised print on print isn't such a bad idea if you know how to pair it right.

   Of course I went on to take more pictures of the outfit and I decided to blog about it so print on print,  is it something you would rock or shy away from. Drop your comments.

    I wouldn't say I was in no mood to mix colours today but basically I was just all for black today, I just wanted to wear all black and not care what people thought about it.

   People generally have a bad misconception about black, like my mum. Anytime I pair an all black outfit, she would be like who am I mourning and I will just laugh and say my dead dog (of course I don't have a dog).

   Anyway style is universal and any neutral-neutral colour would do, like pairing white and white together. Black is a beautiful colour and if you pair your outfit well, you will be able to create that electric feel to the dark outfit.

   Whether it's a black pant and black shirt or black top and black skirt, adding a pop of colour is the way forward. So just complete outfit with a bright coloured bag or footwear, flats or sandals for casual and heels for outings and you are go to go.

    Prior to the interview I'm going to have with talented fashion blogger Lawole Ikoghene, I decided to share one of his OOTD post with you. So if you are looking for that bright inspirational style, this is for you.

   So, it was quite sunny the other day and let me just say this, the weather these days have been quite funny. Its rainy on some days and its very hot and sunny on others. I can't even tell if we are in the rainy or dry season. like I was saying, it was quite sunny and hot so, I decided to wear bright colours that would blend perfectly with the weather. I wore a pink abercrombie and Fitch
striped shirt, a white trouser, decided to pull off a dark colour tie and went with a cross pattern blue and black tie.

To top it all off, I went with a an ash socks with red prints and brown brogues shoe and for the record, I can convincingly say, brown formal shoes go with basically every formal (cooperate wear ). So, get a brown shoe
today. To add a little fun and glare to the outfit, I put on a dark grey striped suit and used a Camouflage pocket square.

      Awhile back, I was checking out Instagram pages when I stumbled upon a style page called 9jastylechannel, a particular post caught my attention. It was when the admin on the page decided to address an issue where someone had asked if fashion was necessary, I went further to read what he had to say and I was truly impressed so I decided to feature him on my blog. So here it is, the interview with the brain behind 9jaStyleChannel though he would like to keep his identity private so no personal picture of him.

Please introduce yourself

  My name is Dominic

How old are you and are you a student?

  I am 19, no I'm a graduate.

What inspired you to base your Instagram account on fashion and when did you start?

   I became a believer in fashion as an African inspiration so I kicked off a style community on the 1st January 2015. Back then, I think 4 months ago, I called it 9jastylechannel.

  Describe your style in one word

My style....my style is basic

Are you into fashion as a designer, stylist or you are just a fashion lover?

My style is basic. Nothing so major to it. I'm just a lover of fashion with an African inspiration. I'm not a designer.

Were you always a fashion lover?

Like I said earlier, I became a believer, I was an ordinary guy indifferent about fashion especially those in relation to our roots well I can say it happened spontaneously, it's not something that I really prepared for, I really can't explain it.

Are you specific about the kind of style you upload on IG?

Yes...yes I'm specific with the sort of content I post on my page, fashion in Nigeria is a huge deal, it's something that is various and in constant motion, keep growing, the reward is limitless so I base my post on mainly African style.

So what brought about African inspiration?

   I myself together with the people I inspire with my post are all undergoing a certain type of transition.

Who is your role model?

Mai Atafo is a superb designer. He's probably someone I think I can look up to. It's nice seeing these designers stay true to our roots. Asides the fact that it brings out uniqueness in their works it's also a great form of communication. It's something we relate to quickly.

Ok so what's your favorite fashion item?

Shoes.
