eMAN’S STYLE KEEP IT CLASSY
Eman’s take on styling Mehek I dressed up Mehek again in one of Omorose’s signature silhouettes, paired with high waisted pants. To add a touch of glamour, she’s carrying a statement clutch.
Eman’s style
NOVEMBER 05, 2017 | 83
My style has always been classic yet on-trend. I love all pastel shades and experimenting with different silhouettes. I chose to dress up in one of Omorose’s signature classic cut tops with an open slit. It’s a multifunctional design as it can be paired with off white pants or worn as a dress.
MEHEK’S STYLE ON THE EDGE
Mehek’s style I wore this white Dara Enzo top that’s from their first collection. I fell in love with the sleeves and have worn it over and over again. The pants are from Mango’s newer collection and everything high waisted is always my go to! The clutch is from Bastay and has the cover of one of my all time favourite book, To Kill a Mockingbird!
Mehek’s take on styling Eman Eman is such a pretty girl and her own style is classic so it was really fun putting together this look for her. She’s wearing this fun reversible sequinned jacket from The House of Aphrodite, her own black tank and these maroon pants from Zara. Pulled back hair, strapped heels and star + moon earrings complete the look!
