Personal Style of Cebo



Cebo is a student at Howard College (UKZN) , she majors in legal studies and political science. What I like about her style is that she is a trend setter! She isn't afraid to come up with her own thing and look good in it. She just stands out! here are some of her outfits, from a chilled campus look , to a more glamorous and chic look.

 

 

Love the boyfriend jeans! And I absolutely love the pop of colour with her pink purse.  

Simple

This is the look I usually go for when shopping. I could shop for days! So I go for something loose and very comfortable.

Loving Yourself

“She lacks confidence, she craves admiration insatiably. She lives on the reflections of herself in the eyes of others. She does not dare to be herself.”
 - Anais Nin

Sadly most of us can be just like that most times.....

Ever notice how sometimes you just loose who you are, you totally forget what makes who or what you are. You come across a certain group of people and you try and fit in,  and this happens with every one you're with. You become kinda like them. I don't know maybe I imagine things but Iv seen a lot of people do that, and I know I'm guilty too. The thing is, it usually works! People don't really judge you if you're like them. But why do we care so much about what other people think of us?

In my opinion I think it all boils down to just loving who you are- as simple as that. Love you and enjoy it , have fun with it , be care free!When you have that flame that heats your soul, it automatically lights and energises your spirit. I usually find that I'm more comfortable when wearing things that I love not what other people will think looks good on me. I'm more me in what others may think is weird or ugly. And my aim now is to just do that, do me and be care free.

Can you please just try and have like a "weird outfit day", I'm not saying you should wear your pyjamas in public but just 'Wear Whatever you Wanna Wear!  ..... whatever you're comfortable with!

Personal Style of "Q"

Qaqamba Matha better known  as 'Q' is a 3rd year Howard College student (UKZN) who majors in Political Science. Q has a very fun , effortlessly cool fashion style. I really dig her outfits and her body allows her to wear almost anything.

Here are some of her pics....

Luuurve the yellow pointed-toe heels!

 

 

 

Thee pose.....

 

Try out her style by mixing different prints.....and have fun with it. But don't overdo it! When mixing prints you either end up looking really stylish or totally ridiculous. Try wearing a combination of larger and smaller prints. And try blending prints that have similar colours or colours that go well together. For more tips on mixing prints check out www.bellanaija.com.

Quote of the Day

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
― C.G. Jung

 

 

As a human being , one should be more appreciative of the existence granted to them. Our uniqueness coupled with our intellect should be the most celebrated and exalted of our possessions. The ability to question, reason and impose meaning on the world is a capacity bestowed on no other creature besides ourselves. We can savour each conscious moment, reserve our most precious memories every sensation that we have. These include the five majors of touch, sight, smell, taste and sound, in greater appreciation than all other creatures.

We have peered deeper into the universe, and with this new knowledge, gained a new sense of how infinitely small we are in this vast vacuum of space. We have also discovered that the law of attraction is not just a gravitational force but also a physical one as well.As people who possess spiritual energy we have the ability to attract who and what we want, given enough focus and determination. This has been proven as a law in the complex discipline of quantum physics.

It is imperative that one should remember these things when life gets too much, for we are celestial beings made of the same compounds which make up stars, and thus part of this universe more than we know. Think of these facts in a conscious process while meditating for just 15 minutes a day and notice a change in at least one month.

What I Wore

I'm totally in love with the military prints.Its definitely not new however I think its bigger and better this season. What I love the most about the military inspired look is that you can wear it casually and also give it a more sophisticated look. I think its glamorous and doesn't require too mush effort. Sometimes you do find that people try too hard to get that military look and end up looking disastrous. Just try keeping it simple and don't mix it with everything military....it becomes too much really, try mixing it with black or white.

Anyway, the first two looks were my inspiration ( from tumblr), so I decided to try it out. These are some of the looks you can try....

Shirt

                                                                          Pants

                                                                        Leggings

What I Wore

So i was inspired by this look from Elle magizines 'street chic'. It has a vintage feel to it and its an effortless look. It doesnt scream summer neither is it something to wear when its cold. I think this would be a perfect look for this season. 

So i decided to try a look with similar colours but with a different style.

 

And more.....

 

 

Normally I don't do brown because it clashes with my skin tone, but i love these shorts because they are a light dull-ish kinda brown so whenever you do brown and you're brown skin like me just make sure the brown is different from your skin tone....
