iStyle myStyle: Sunday OOTD Nigerian Blouse and Wrapper; Didi Hairstyle + Work Inspiration

Hello dearies,
Hope you are enjoying the summer heat like I am. Gives me the chance to wear kaftans and wrappers (some of my traditional wear). My hair is plaited going all back in what Nigerians call ‘didi’ (Aka Inverted plaits). I dislike hair touching my body when it’s hot so I have the plaits rolled and held with hair pins. I love the simplicity and it looked perfect in the professional/work environment. Here’s a quick inspiration for work

For my Sunday OOTD, I was channelling the African Queen in me. I felt the hair accessory brought out the beauty of my traditional attire and my protective hairstyle.

I wore my Nigerian silk Iro and Buba made by one of my besties (Miss Adefarakan). Her clothing line brand; Olivade Wear. This was made especially for me. Pretty much all my Nigerian outfits posted here were actually courtesy of her and our mummy šŸ™‚ I am glad she is finally taking it a step further to make for other people.

Oh, been trying to Improve on my make up skills. Sunday is the only time I get to put full on makeup. Do you think I have improved? Got compliments so thought I should share quickly. Wishing you an amazing week.

Kisses,
Lady

  1. I’m not familiar with seeing silk Iro and Buba’s so its great to see this one, what great Summer colours, I loooove the braids, havn’t heard the phrase-Didi-either. Ps there seems to be a lot i dont know today, ha! anyhoo, love the hair accessories, you look like a Nigerian Princess!

    • Thank you dear for your consistent support and comments I truly appreciate you. It’s not surprising Cos d hairstyle was classed as extremely razz/local lol. Even I hated the style! So, not many Nigerians opt for didi. Wow, I need to post more traditional clothes to keep you updated on our trends šŸ™‚ hope you have a fulfilled week.xxx
