Wore this out initially for a 2 year old birthday party but after consulting with Himself and endless self-examination, decided to respect myself and went back to change into a pair of jeans.

I didn't want to be that girl at a kids party that all the mothers were side-eyeing.

Oh and btw, new huuurrrr

Zara blazer; H&M tank and boyfriend shorts; H&M neckpiece; Louis Vuitton Brea MM; Salvatore Ferragamo Varina bow flats; Dolce & Gabbana aviators

This hair makes me want to wear a dashiki, listen to India Arie and eat tofu :)

Laid Back

My last day in Abuja was for ultimate chilling because I'd been wrung like a dishcloth the previous days.

As a result of my night at PLAY I was literally dead to the world until my friend, blogger and designer Chichi of Blazyfashion came over to drag my lazy ass out of bed.

Chichi


I spent the rest of the day out by the pool

H&M maxi dress; ASOS drop earrings; ASOS flats; Prada Baroque sunglasses

I LOVE these ASOS earrings, even though I think they're a tad ratchet and if anybody got tangled up in them by mistake it could rip out my earlobes.

After a day of supreme laziness I headed out to meet friends at a bar called Beer Barn in Wuse

I saw my 2012 bride, Neks!

She moved to Abuja at the beginning of the year and I hadn't seen her since

My Neks' work chic was giving me life, LOVE!

We went on to a house party after Beer Barn which I didn't stay at long and was promptly tucked in before midnight

I had a blast in Abuja and it was so gratifying to see that if I ever had to leave Lagos I already had a ready-made circle in the capital.

Virgos Lounge Aggy - 3 Ways

I was in Abuja the majority of last week for work and though I didn't see the sunlight for the first 3 days because of all I had to do, I had at least a day to recuperate before heading back to Lagos.

I haven't been in Abuja properly since I was in Law School and I was so excited to be there I felt like I'd left the country.

My work ended proper on Thursday and everybody knows Thursday nights in Abuja belong to PLAY so I headed down there to BYOB with the best of them.

Pulled out my old faithful, the Virgos Lounge Aggy blazer. I've worn it twice since I got it and it still remains a show stopper whenever its pulled out.

Virgos Lounge Aggy jacket; H&M tank dress; Gucci hightop sneakers

I'd spent most of my week in tight AF shift dresses and heels and my feet were begging for comfort so I decided to indulge them and rock sneakers.

I love the "laid-backness" of the sneakers juxtaposed against the full on glam blazer.

Rocked out at PLAY with my friend Doyin and her husband...

My cousin Charles, who owns PLAY and my brother from another mother, Achike

So I decided to compare this Aggy look with the other two times I've worn it, I think my favourite is the middle photo where I wore it with the sheer maxi skirt.

Where do you guys think I wore it best?
