MJ and Didi's Fashion Styles.

         
MJ and Didi: Fashionable Nigerian Ladies 

 Fashion is not just about the beauty of outfits but, also how fashion are being presented by individuals! As a Nigerian woman myself, I love wearing my African attires, especially to my African parties. Being fashionable and visible in parties is very important to self-satisfaction. These two sophisticated African ladies, "MJ" and "Didi" are among the most influential Nigerian fashionistas in North America. Their fashion styles have become the core of modern African fashion, specifically among modern Nigerian women throughout the world.  MJ and Didi's fashion styles and beauty shows that women can be fashionable, and continue to age inevitably, regardless of their nationalities and racial backgrounds. 
          That being said, it's very important to learn from people who are more knowledgeable about African-Nigerian fashion--like MJ and Didi. You can also invent your own style at any given time. But, in the event that you don't know what to wear to your next party, check-out their fashion styles here and make sense out of it. You can always manipulate the styles to your own unique style. Make sure you don't conflict colors. Pay attention to how they combine colors.

"One Color to Match" means that the dress, Gele (head-wrap) and costumes are the same color.

          If you are craving to wear only "One Color to Match", then, you can check the best color that will suit your skin color and body structure. Moreover, the style of the dress should be considered whenever you are choosing colors. Look at how they brilliantly present "One Color to Match" in their presentations. The head-wrap or Gele should be gently and properly wrapped. If you don't know how to wrap your own Gele, I recommend you to seek a professional help. Otherwise, the Gele will not work coherently with your dress/outfit! In most cases, it's the Gele that usually bring out the beauty of the dress/outfit! You should always wrap your Gele perfectly. 
          Additionally, avoid wearing too much costumes and jewelries with certain outfits.  Do not wear heavy necklaces on turtle-neck blouses and dresses. Pay attention to how MJ beautifully present her pink and blue turtle-neck dresses. Although, costumes are very beautiful with some dresses, as it will make you look enchanting and visible in African parties. But, it's also necessary to pay attention to the type of outfits that require many costumes. As some outfits may require few or no funny costumes at all! Didi's pink dress is a perfect example of how you should match costumes with your open-neck dresses. Such open-neck dress will always work with heavy necklaces. Wear more jewelries with less busy dresses. While busy dresses like MJ's turtle-neck dresses will need less costumes.
