Must You Wear RED for Valentine?

Must You Wear RED for Valentine?

Valentine is 7 days away., and a lot of people look up to that day to receive special gifts from their lovers, and sometimes go to special places.

Its that time of the year set aside for romantic dinners dates and getaways.

Most women like myself are thinking of what to wear for that special date, and most are thinking of something red. Please, can we break out of the mould and not wear red? Pleaseeeeeeee!!!!..

Last year, i did not wear red, and this year am definitely not gonna wear red. Here are a few suggestions of non-red attires, i hope they will inspire you not to wear Red

You can b daring and go leather..this black leather ensemble portrays confidence and power.

this is one sexy attire. an off-shoulder top with a high waist skirt. there's something flirt about it.

Textured green jacket paired with gray leather skinnies for a smart casual look- suitable for a casual outting or evening date

I particularly love this Pink handbag and shoes combo with a gray top and jacket. Very stylish chic attire

Floral skirt with blue sweater and blue peep toes. Please ensure you have the legs for this before wearing it. 

This cream coloured grecian dress is suitable for date late night dinner at an exclusive restaurant. Please this attire is for those ladies with legs.

This is a popular model and wife to a popular hollywood actor, what caught my attention are the leopard skin shoes. I know its a bit conservative, but it looks very classy.

So dearies, don't be part of the red crowd..stand out in something other than red.

Everything New...New Name , New Ideas, New Vision

Hello my people.......


I am very proud to introduce this rebranded blog called PROUDLY WOMAN

This is the old blog with a new name, new graphics, new ideas, bigger vision.

The previous blog posts are still on the blog, and you can find them under the Archive section. However new posts will be categorised into Marriage & Relationship, Motherhood & Parenting, Food Recipes, Entertainment etc.....

Some people have asked me why the change.

Well...

Firstly, during my hiatus I had enough time to ponder and do some soul searching. This led me to reorganize my passion. I enjoy every facet of womanhood. I enjoy the complexities and intricacies that make us up. I see our lives as multi-faceted. So,I decided to channel my blog towards all issues that affect Womanhood.

Secondly, I deemed it fit to celebrate Womanhood. I am not pleased with the way women are represented in the society. How do I mean? Have you been watching the Nigerian Music videos lately? Have you seen the lewd music videos with almost-nude girls? The music scene is eroded with negative feminism. Young girls are portrayed as only sex-symbols. It saddens me greatly to see such.
So as much as its within my power to effect a change, I intend to use this blog as a platform to create a positive image of Women. I am a strong believer of  'You are the change you desire'.

Thirdly, I realised the previous name and vision of this blog was restrictive. It cornered me into a box, especially as  I had so much to write about. So it was an option of either creating other blogs to accommodate my writing urges, which I initially did OR I change this blog to accommodate my varied writing urges.

Fourthly and Finally, I was inspired by 'Black Girls Rock' an NGO in the United States of America. Last year I watched their annual Black Girls Rock Award 2012 on BET and I was so inspired by the positive energy. I was inspired by black women and young girls who were doing things to move their communities forward. I also watched the Black Girls Rock Award 2013 on BET last year, and it added to my resolve to be the change I want to desire.

One of my philosophies of Life is Change. Change is the only constant thing. I expect and accomodate change in all i do. Hence this is another Change, and i hope its a change for the Better.

Like i always say, I am open to positive criticism. Please drop a comment.

One Love
