[su_dropcap style=”simple”]L[/su_dropcap]ife is like a flowing river, and as you stream towards new challenges, there are highlights of days gone by – good as well as bad ones – there is also an increase in oblivion, which is the way it should be, especially for the memories of your mistakes. In my world of fashion, I have obviously made mistakes in the past – But then again, I probably still do, but this will be revisited in the future.
And if I hadn’t moved on to a higher level of style confidence today, these fashion mistakes would be an embarrassment. But looking back at some of them, I actually find them quite amusing to the point of being tempted to share a few of them with you. I didn’t take very many pictures of myself then, and gratefully the bad ones were quickly deleted. So the pics I am now sharing with you are only the tip of the iceberg of my worst style blunders.
-One of my biggest problems in those days was that I was trying too hard.
-Rocking a handful of different fashion trends at the same time!
-Changing my hair styles without caring what suited me.
-Wearing all colours of contact lenses
-I now realize that I often used too much makeup (especially eyeshadow)
-Major over-accessorizing.
-Wearing stockings and tights with everything I considered short
-Cheap weaves and wigs
-Following all trends
-Not shaping my eyebrows
What are some of the fashion mistakes you made when you were younger ?

Not doing my eyebrows!! I probably still forget to fill them in once in a while, eek!
i used to shave off all my eyebrows and use black pencil . I was worse than Rita Oyier

Also guilty of wearing stockings always
Those stripped socks seem to have been in fashion.. This is so hilarious but makes us appreciate more how much you have evolved.
This is hilaaaarrioooous!!!!……….those mistakes though are serious
Hahaha I’ve always followed you and you have always been on trend. This is just one of those things that get dated … I would actually wear some of the outfits you have posted **hides**
Am sure then you were on trend. With the current trend you see the mistakes in outdated trends!??
cheap weaves, overdressing, underdressing(basically trying too hard,especially in the club), over-accessorizing, not dressing to suit my body shape. thanks for showing this side of you 🙂
My mistake was wearing oversized clothes, granted I felt a little “chubby” but I dealt with that.
Thanks for sharing Silvia, the orange outfit is hilarious!!!
First, its good to see your beautiful smile, second, i can relate with you in a couple of the fashion mistakes I’ve done in the past. Discovering my style is one of the reasons i started my blog.
I love how candid your posts are yaani!! feels like talking to an old friend and catching up!! Alafu, the hair styles, Lord! Needless to say, your journey can only get better! 🙂
