DUME DUME Part 1

Let's get straight into this and talk about this amazing label Dume Dume!

We recently came across some of their beautiful pieces on Asos Marketplace. They were so inspiring and the models looked so beautiful and natural! We were so inspired that we wanted to be part of this empowering movement. Dume Dume is passionate about women and introducing diversity which is a great ethic to have which we feel a lot of brands lack as they normally go for models with the same look.

Jacqueline Ntephe is the Creative Director and Designer of Dume Dume. She has done an amazing job and continues to inspire with her unique sophisticated, Nigerian inspired pieces.

This is Part 1 of our collaboration with Dume Dume and we decided to combine two outfit choices in one post just to give some diversity with looks.

It's time to let the photos do the talking!

Bad&Boujee

If this post doesn't scream *BAD&BOUJEE* to you, I don't know what will. All I know is a "Bad Chick" doesn't have to have a PHAT ASS, SLIM WAIST, WEAR REVEALING CLOTHES, NAILS DONE, HAIR DONE, EVERYTHING DONE....Sometimes it's just a good woman with great dress sense ;)

Disclaimer: there is nothing wrong with the above qualities but there is no set definition for that term

Women come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and WE need to start embracing that because if we body shame ourselves and fellow females, we are giving males permission to body shame us even more. 

Think about it SIS!

Outfit Deets:

We decided to do a lot of Colour Blocking with our outfits this summer. Co-ordinates are great and making your own co-ordinates is even more fun. Try it!

We recently went Thrift Shopping in East End Thrift Store and Tarina got her hands on this bomb red vintage Bomber Jacket and that set the tone for her whole outfit. She paired the look with a Bikini Top she got from Missguided last year and a bodycon skirt from Primark that she got from my hand me downs.

What staples this look are these sick red tinted glasses from Asos, the shape of the frames are just....Boujee. And there you have it, Bad & Boujee.

Does it look like she was left off  Bad & Boujee?

Jacket - East End Thrift Store

iSSA ViBE

ISSA VIBE, ISSA VIBE, ISSA VIBE. Oh it's a Vibe, yeah yeah!

Your favourite Bald Head Scallywag is back and ready to give you the slayage of the summer..with no hair! ISSA Look!

We have as a collective neglected the blog for a little while and we apologise as we have had a lot of things to sort however, we are back and better with a lot more diverse content. We would love to have you guys feedback on whether you like the blog and reading the content or would your prefer just pictures and videos? Should we stick to just Instagram and maybe bump up our content on Twitter also? Leave us a comment below as this is for you guys, our lovely readers.

Now...ISSA DEETS (can't stop saying ISSA).

I found two cute Shirred Bardot Tops from Pull&Bear on Asos. One in white and another in yellow and I just had to get them! I specifically love them because of the frilly sleeves and they just gave me Rihanna vibes from the Wild Thoughts video. Fun fact: the material is stretch yet compact so you can wear it with no bra and not have to worry about gravity tryna ruin your life. Amen.

I paired the top with some Chiffon type material culottes with frills at the end that I got from Missguided. Let me tell you...these trousers are comfy and free. Perfect for summer. I then paired the look with something a lil different/ unpredictable/ unorthodox...yes, I paired it with nude croc print heels to give the look an edgier side.

For the shoot, we threw in some plants (they are real and they ARE my babies) and did the Damn Thanggg on the balcony and....

ISSA VIBE!

Hope you guys like this outfit/vibe! More to come! Don't forget to follow us specifically on the Gram, link in sidebar.

Until next time xx

The Color Purple

And now...for the most anticipated post of the blog.....

*drum rolls*

Here is The Color Purple!!!!

*crowd goes wild* *screams*

Welcome back to the Clothes Over People blog guys. We have had such great reactions on our instagram about this outfit and we must say, we are feeling the love most definitely so thank you all.

Let's get into the deets!

Tarina decided to go for a 70s disco inspired look. Yes, we're talking bell bottoms, flares, afros, bright colors & everything disco! Ready for Soul Train!

The Lilac/Purple tones gave the outfit a nice dynamic as well of the mixture of textures featuring Knitwear and Satin. The knitwear was layered well as there is always that risk of  unwanted bulging when tucking any type of top into trousers with a thin material. Tarina executed this seamlessly!

LaModa, the plug for all accessories! Both earrings and sunnies are from this fire brand. They brought the outfit together perfectly without overpowering the look.

We hope you guys enjoyed this post! Don't forget to follow us on our social media platforms.

Until next time xxxx
