Beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder! But what if your beautiful isn’t enough? In this “off the shoulder dress“, I created my own beautiful because the beautiful on the dress wasn’t enough.
Mere looking at this dress, I liked it a lot because I considered it beautiful and it is white which is one colour I could wear everyday if I could have my way.
For my outfit of the day today, I styled my off the shoulder dress with an oversized hair bow and finished my look with flats. It is easy, breezy beautiful!
This look will be perfect for you if you are going for an outdoor / garden party especially because of the flats. Heels in a garden party may be a pain to walk on. Wedges will be perfect with this kind of dress too.
I wanted to wear the hair bow on my head as it was meant to be worn but I figured it was too blended to my hair. And because I wanted to wear it, I had to look for other ways to do so by creating my own beautiful on my dress.
See dress without bow………
Fashion TIP today :::: Add Your Touch
For my own personal styling, I always look for unusual ways to style my looks especially if it is a style piece I think may be “common” or popular and can easily be spotted every where.
As you can see the dress above is just a simple dress without the bow. Beautiful the way it was but the oversized bow adds the je nais se quoi to the look. In simple terms, the bow made it more beautiful.
Today’s look is an example of how you can up do your look to stand out. If you happen to be wearing the same thing with someone else in a gathering, you will look different with this kind of style tip.
Motivation for Monday ::: Create your own BEAUTIFUL
When I was looking for inspiration to write motivation for Monday today, I couldn’t just thinking about the word beautiful. You may have noticed I have used that word in this post up to like 6 times already.
The reason why I wanted to encourage you today to create your own beautiful is because beauty doesn’t exist if we don’t create it. If you look at a particular thing and you don’t like how you see it, you can actually make it beautiful in your own way.
For example, I said I liked this dress but I wanted to create “a beautiful” out of the dress so I added the over sized bow. It was when I attached that bow to the dress that I saw the beautiful I wanted.
That illustration is same thing with life and in all areas too. If you don’t like the situation you are in, you have two choices, it is either you stay in your ugly or create your own beautiful. What is your ugly right now? This is one question to ponder upon!
Is it your job, is it your finances, it is an abusive relationship you are in or marriage, is it your grades in school, is it your health, is it your mind set etc. You have to learn to create your beautiful if you don’t like your ugly. As hard as this may seem, it is doable.
A few ways to create your beautiful
1, Prayerfully recognise there is a need to change something / a situation
2, Write down steps to take to create the beautiful you want. Get help if you need too
3, Start working towards creating your beautiful.
4, Keep working even when it is hard. Don’t stop, remember you want this beautiful (hardest part ever)
5, Beautiful is here.
Are you reading this today and you need some kind of beautiful? I want to say a prayer for you that that ugly situation will not kill you but will make you stronger. I pray for you that from your ashes, God will give you beauty and your heart will be filled with joy and your mouth laughter, amen.
Remember, you are beautiful and you should always live beautifully.
The off the shoulder trend is still very big at the moment, if you don’t have one and don’t want to buy one, you can learn how to create your own beautiful off the shoulder HERE
I want to thank you so much for stopping by today. I am always very happy to see you stop by.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love and laughter.
Much Love, Mojisola.

Such wonderful words of motivation (or should I say beautiful words of motivation)!
That look is just great. I loved the dress on its own – that detail at the neck is so pretty – but the bow really does make it look like something you’d wear to a garden party!
Thank you Sarah. Yes, that dress will be perfect for a garden party. And it will look good on you.
Much Love.

Adding the bow was a fab touch as it gives that black and white monochromatic finish! The flats give the look a nice relaxed finsih: you look very chic hon, I can imagine you in Paris on a bike with a picknic basket at the front full of baguette etc. Haha, have a great week hon ( :
