My wardrobe tour | Inside the wardrobe of a Cameroonian Lifestyle Blogger

My wardrobe is the type we find in most houses in Cameroon. 

It is divided into two compartments vertically. One side is further separated horizontally into a cupboard. 

The first cupboard of my wardrobe is where I put my cosmetics and jewellery. These things were previously at the foot of my bed and my daughter will not stop going there to scatter them. So putting them at the topmost part of my wardrobe is the best thing to do with them.

It also has my wigs and other little stuff I own.

The last part of the cupboard is for any other things such as blankets, bedsheets, and any other clothes or stuff which I don't use often.

The uppermost part of my wardrobe is where I keep my handbags, mosquito nets and cartons.

I have a few of my handbags hanging on the doors of my wardrobe because I recently used them and felt so lazy to put them back in place.

The other side of the wardrobe is for clothes that stay on hangers. Below that is my box of clothes.

My shoes are found on the wall behind my hanging clothes.

That's how I organize my wardrobe and as you can see it is realistic. It's not perfectly arranged but it is clean and that's how it looks on most days.

I am sharing with you today my recent fashion purchases. It's been such a long time since I bought anything for myself and it feels good to shop for myself again. 

I needed some new clothes and other stuff which I talked about in other posts and I'm glad I was able to get them. So here are my recent outfits and fashion accessories I purchased.

My Recent Purchases | Outfits & Accessories

Clothes

I went for comfortable and stylish outfits. My tops and leggings are from okirika (thrift) and the others were sewn for me.

- Tops

I got cotton tops because of their stretch and softness. Also because they are comfortable and the colours are mature. Mostly black, navy blue and brown were the colours I went for.

These tops were super cheap so I got many of them at once. I try to avoid shopping too much at the same time because I usually regret some of my purchases when I get home. But this time I got up to ten tops at the same time and I like my choices. 

- Leggings

I got a pair of leggings in cotton as well and I love the comfort it gives me. I discovered that pairing a cotton top and bottom is not the best option because it doesn't look bright. But mixing colours and textures and also accessories makes it better. 

That's how I have been wearing my leggings with my cotton outfits.

- Dresses

A few dresses got into my wardrobe too though I wish there were more. I bought three from okirika and one boutique. 

One of the gowns I got is transparent and needed a gown to wear inside. So the two other gowns I got were meant to be worn beneath the transparent one. I was looking forward to buying black but the type I wanted was hard to find so I got blue and also a black one.

The boutique gown I got is from the guys who sell in trucks outside the market. It s more expensive and I bought it because I couldn't find what I needed in okirika. But after buying it I saw the black gown from okirika which was way cheaper. 

All the same, I'm glad I got both because I can still wear them with or without the transparent dress on top.

- Tailored wears

I added some sewn clothes to my wardrobe as well. They are made from Ankara and dyed materials. These clothes were supposed to be ready a long time ago but the tailor couldn't deliver on time. One of them I wore for Christmas and the other I plan to wear on New Year's Day. 

It's actually a family asoebi (matching outfits) made for me, my daughter and her father. I really like the outfits because they were well sewn and I chose good styles too.

I initially planned to wear the dresses I bought from okirika but when these ones came, I changed my mind as it was more beautiful to dress up in our family asoebi.

Accessories

I got myself one accessory which I love greatly. A handbag.

- Handbag

So we wash our okirika for two reasons:

This detergent (Ozil) washes well and smells good as well.

There are two flavours of Soupline but I like this one most.
