Happy new year everybody!
The holiday is quickly becoming a distant memory and I thought I would share with you how I celebrated Christmas and rung in the New Year. This was Elly's first Christmas and I wanted it to be special. She fell sick just before Christmas, as did I and I felt so bad that we couldn't go all out with our celebrations but we tried and I think baby girl enjoyed herself.
Elly enjoying her Christmas presents
On the 20th of December, we attended my aunt's wedding which we had been looking forward to the entire year!! I had such a good time, met A LOT of relatives and danced to my heart's content. I had planned out my outfit for months but at the last minute, I got a gift from my grand-aunt and changed my entire wardrobe. This was a dress which I made into a skirt. I paired it with a sequin top and I added gold accessories. My hair is my statement accessory at the moment, so I topped off my outfit with a Mohawk and red lip.
On Christmas day I was at the peak of illness so dressing up was not at the forefront of my mind. I therefore opted for an all white plus Ankara look. These trousers are a new favourite of mine. I paired them with a white sweater with pink and blue stripes. I completed my outfit with a pink and navy blue printed Ankara coat. I added my slouchy low-heel ankle boots and purple lipstick.
On New Year's Eve, we had a sibling's party at my brother's place followed by lunch with the family on New Year's Day. I opted for my chiffon kaftan as it was quite hot. I wore it with my jeggings and off-white wedge peep-toes and styled my hair in a simple up do.
I think Elly had a good first Christmas and New Year's. Now we are gearing up to celebrate her first birthday! I am so excited!
