Hey there lovely readers of Chioma's Evolution of Style! I was truly delighted when Chioma reached out to me to guest post while she is away becoming a beautiful newlywed and on her honeymoon!! My name is Rocquelle, and I blog over on Consider Me Lovely, where I try to merge style and life inspiration in one creative space on the internet :-). Whether it's hit the 90's where you live (it has here in Houston!), or if it's hovering beautifully in the 70's, a fabulous pair of sunnies, or two or three, is a MUST! When Chioma mentioned favorite summer accessories in one of our correspondences, I instantly knew that I wanted to share some of my favorite sunglasses with you all!

Guest Blogger: Taliah of Fashion Was Here!

Hey guys! My name is Taliah Ferguson, fashion blogger behind Fashion Was Here. To sum up what I love and write about are basically all things lifestyle with a modern twist. So you can find anything from home decor inspiration to street style to high and low outfit posts. So enough about little ol me, I want to first wish Chioma a beautiful, unforgettable wedding and much success and prosperity to her and her husband! Thanks so much for asking me to guest post on your blog, as I am an avid reader of your site and love-love-love your IG posts! After Chioma asked me to guest post while she was away, I wanted it to be what my current mood was and so I decided to share my Summer staples. I've been mentally planning for a Miami trip next month with my girlfriends and I've been cramming my brain on what to buy and what I already have. Of course when you're going somewhere with poolside and beach access, bathings suits are a must, but here are some things I wish to buy. My 4 staples for Summer and this trip are rompers, sneakers, a cross body bag, and sky high heels. Yes, yes, and double yes! With the exception of 6 in heels, all of these items are comfortable while strolling Ocean drive. Wouldn't you agree? Staying stylish in warmer climates is essential, however having easy going pieces is vital. Check out some shoppable styles above, along with a little street style inspo.

Rompers: Sugar Baby Lace Romper//Palm Bandeau Skort Playsuit Bright Sneakers: Nike Internationalist Sneakers//Puma Suede Classic Sneakers Cross Body Bags: Botkier Honore Crossbody Bag in Powder//Loeffler Randall Agenda Crossbody Sky High Heels: L.A.M.B.

Guest Blogger: V'neesa of I Am Simply Chic!

Hi and greetings from the blog I AM SIMPLY CHIC where I am CEO (Chic Executive Officer)! When you think of someone's style being simple but chic, you might want to yawn a bit, but I am here to wake you up and show you how to be fabulous, yet effortless. 

THE SKIRT: You need some great skirts in fun prints that can stand alone with a solid short and minimal accessories.

SCARVES: Scarves are you friend. Throw them on to take any look to the next level. Statement necklaces have the same effect!

PATTERN MIXING: Don't be afraid to mix your patterns. You really can't go wrong if you stick to pairing dots and stripes with other prints

DENIM: You have the perfect bottom but don't know what to do up top. Throw some denim on it.

DRESSES: When all else fails, put on a dress.

SHOES & ACCESSORIES: Whether they be 5 inches or 0 inches, gold or silver, fun shoes and accessories are an essential part of being simply chic.

Today, I want to share with you some of my favorite work outfits that would be perfect for the spring or summer.  I hope you love them as much as I do!

 

 

 

 

I would love for you to stop by and say hi over at Mix & Match Fashion.  Thank you so much Chioma for having me!

Guest Blogger: Serena of The Serena Saga!

Hi all! My name is Serena & I blog over at The Serena Saga. I am so thrilled to be a guest today on Chioma's Evolution of Style! I have enjoyed getting to know Chioma over the past two years and I hope she is having a wonderful time on her honeymoon. As some of you already know, I was blessed last year with a beautiful baby boy in November. Trying to stay stylish and comfortable at the same time can be a little challenging when your body is going through so many changes. I discovered quite early on that my summer staple, TheMaxi Dress, would also be maternity staple. I always found myself reaching for my maxi dresses, most of which are non-maternity that I owned before my little one was even thought about. They were cute, comfortable, and easy to style. All three of these dresses were already in my closet; and I was able to wear them throughout my entire pregnancy.

Dress: Calvin Klein via TJ Maxx

Dress: Max Studio via TJ Maxx

Dress: Arden B.

My favorite summer staple, The Maxi Dress, ended up being my maternity staple at no extra cost. If you ever find yourself in need of maternity wear, make sure you shop your closet before you drop hundreds of dollars on a maternity wardrobe.

Do you have any items you can wear already in your closet if you find yourself in need of maternity clothes? Stop by The Serena Saga and share them! I'm always looking for inspirations. They will definitely come in handy when I have my next baby!

You can also find me on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Guest Blogger: Rachelle of Pink Sole!

Hey guys! Rachelle here from PinkSole, I am keeping you guys company today while Chioma is having the time of her life. I wish her all the best and lots of fun on her honeymoon. Today I am sharing a work outfit, I am lucky enough to work in an environment that allows denim, but I usually go for a darker wash. It's pretty hot already in South Florida so light layers are a must as it is usually so cold in the office. I added comfy leopard flats and a big red tote to complete the look. Have a great one guys, and thank you so much Chioma for having me. xoxo

Guest Blogger: Roni of Style & Poise!

Greetings Loves!!

My name is Roni and I blog over at Style & Poise. I was absolutely delighted when Chioma asked me to be a guest blogger in her absence while she's preparing to get married! I absolutely love her style! It's so bright, fun, and always ladylike!

So, who is Style & Poise?! Well, I have a crazy obsession with shoes and a love for all things fabulous and stylish! I am a firm believer that you do not have to spend a fortune to be stylish and that is exactly what my blog represents.

So, about my look....I'm totally in love with this color combination. It's so bright, cheery and screams Spring! I decided to pair this look with my leopard pumps because in my world of fashion, leopard is a neutral and I rock it as such. I also felt it added a lil' spunk to my ensemble. I hope you enjoy and thanks for having me, Chioma :-) XOXO
