I love this plant opposite my house. I named it Henry. It looks like a Henry to me for some reason. I think it’s a pretty plant. I also think my skirt is really pretty. Put side by side, both the skirt and Henry are really pretty. They are not in competition with each other. They can both equally be pretty. I kind of thought about this in relation to women. Why can’t we all just be pretty? Different kind of pretty but equally pretty. I read somewhere that a flower doesn't compete with other flowers, it just blooms. I challenge all women to just bloom....shine. There is more than one star tinkling in the sky; but each star is equally beautiful.
In other news, I am by default, a worrier. I've found myself
worrying about my exams. I keep worrying about my exams. In between my worries,
I say a quick passionless prayer. You know, the kind you sometime say to fulfill
your Christian obligations. But I have realised from passion-filled prayers and
quality time with God that, worrying makes you self-focused instead of
God-focused. The only way you ever worry about failing is when you are doing
something by yourself and not by His GRACE. So, if you’re a little bit like me
in that respect, quit worrying and praying for grace.
It's another Virgos Lounge day on the blog. I paired this oh so famous VL skirt with a simple blouse because the skirt is so serious and fancy, I really just wanted a laid-back look with it. I kinder tweaked the skirt because that slit was just way too high for me. So my mum helped me stitch a pleated chiffon material to it.

Lots of love,
I agree with you tomi...we can all be pretty but in a different way. We shouldnt be in competition but should appreciate each others beauty...can i ask you something? What would you tell a girl who wants to start a fashion blog but is worried that it will fail?
ReplyDeleteThere's a quote I read that said "What will you do if you knew you would not fail?" Everytime you embark on something new, there is a itty bityy chance of failure. Don't let that ever stop you. Commit the blog into God's hands. Make sure you are blogging for the right reasons and always be true to yourself. You'll be fine xx
DeleteAnd i love the skirt btw....so chic....
ReplyDeleteTomilola it's so good to see you blogging again!
ReplyDeleteI pray that God's grace will see you through your exams. Amen!
You look very lovely Tomilola!
ReplyDeleteNice advice! We women need to encourage each other and let one another shine!
I wish you the very best on your exam
God's got it all under control :)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, you look so pretty!
Good to have you back too.
Your skirt is beautiful
ReplyDeleteTo anon 3:17 there's nothing to be scared about. Let passion be your driving force not failure. Believe in yourself and don't try to compete with anyone."There is more than one star tinkling in the sky; but each star is equally beautiful"

Great post. From the outfit to your thoughts, I believe this message was ordained to be communicated to your followers so atleast THAT is God-led.
