Introducing: Designed by Bel – Pleated Top and Pencil Skirt
Throughout this year, I have been blogging on a few African Designers every Wednesday or so (have tried my best to keep a consistent schedule) under the Afrique & Fashion tag. On occasions, I have also posted some African designs that I have worn myself, and few readers have asked me personally to post more of my own African ensembles.
Starting today, I will be posting, on a monthly basis, one of my own designs. I am at the early stage of sewing (not even beginner) but I usually draw or put together various pieces then ask an expert seamstress to sew it all for me. Will keep the weekly ebelandi’s African Designer of the Week posts but on the first Wednesday of every month, we will have a “Designed by Bel” post where I will model an outfit that I have designed on my own (sewed with help of paid seamstress where applicable) with inspiration pictures if applicable as well.
My very first Designed by Bel file below. Let me know what you think?

Phones and Neon Pink (OI 10 Sept 2013)
sweater/top/skirt neon top/ skirt(H&M old)
A second outfit idea for the true ring shell top, this time with a yellow sweater and black skirt. The neon pink top is from BCBG, it reminds me of the J.Crew Blythe silk top, though the BCBG is a lighter and a rougher silk (crepe de chine). The link is not the exact top but it is the same style, different color. The neon pink is very bright, but cute! Skirt is an H&M favorite, and very old (over four years?). It is a heavy cotton, I so wish H&M could bring back quality skirts 😦
Which outfit do you like best? Please share!
