Sheci Look 4: When in doubt..

PART ONE: 
A few months ago I was on one of my favourite blogs when I came across something she said that has always stuck with me - When in doubt, wear black. Genius much?! I mean, we've all had those moments where we've spent ages trying to figure out what to wear only to give up in frustration. This, my friends, is the secret to not being frustrated anymore! Unless you don't have any black clothes in which case, sorry friend, it's back to the drawing board for you..

So what was the fourth item on Sheci's accessories? The Maasai beaded necklace but this time in orange, baby blue and black!


If ever you wanted to really play it safe with any of Sheci's jewellery, especially one that has several colours to it, I would say just go for an all black outfit and minimise on all other jewellery. Pretty simple but still cute, wouldn't you say? And boy do we like cute.
I reckon this outfit would be perfect for date night!


Black Coat - Meltz; Dress - Toi; Belt - Mother's; Shoes - Edgars; Beaded Necklace - Sheci; Clutch - Mother's. 

How's that for a washed out face? 




PART TWO:
In the spirit of 'when in doubt, wear black' I thought I should put together two outfits!
This second outfit was much more laid back, something you could wear to hang out with friends or go out for lunch.

Thought there was never a better time to pull out the turban!
I also decided to layer the jewellery by adding a longer beaded piece. 
Despite being an all black outfit, this look doesn't quite play it safe - we've got the turban, layered jewellery, and the gold accents in the rings, second necklace & sandals. It sort of takes on an afrocentric vibe which reminds me of Solange!



Chubby face, anyone? 

Top - Pick n Pay clothing; Jeans - JayJays; Satchel - New Look; Turban - borrowed from friend; Gold rings & Bracelet - Maasai Market; Turquoise ring - gift; Beaded Neclace - Sheci; Longer beaded necklace - Kariokor Market. 


Make sure to check out Sheci's Facebook Page people! This beaded necklace goes for only Shs700 so don't be shy, give them a shout and grab yourself one already :)

HAAPPPY FRIDAAAYYY!!

  1. This necklace is my favourite Sheci so far :-) though I do like the red/black/white coloured one more, for what I think are obvious reasons :-) hehe.

  4. I agree with Miss Directions, I absolutely love both the orange/black/white necklace in this post and the red/black/white you had in one of your previous posts.

    I was wondering, do you sell/post international? And do you make matching bracelets to these necklaces?

    1. I'm actually not the one selling the jewellery so I'd have to ask on your behalf but I'm sure if you were interested they could create something you'd like (both bracelet and necklace) and send it over to you!

      I just realised that I forgot to add that Shs700 is a little less than $10 just in case you were wondering :)
