The Neutral Wedge

I wanted to go for a neutral coloured outfit and decided to pair skinny jeans, a simple tank top and accent the outfit with brown hues; via the bag, my beige oversized knit waistcoat and of course my beloved wedges.

I've accessorised with my floral print wayfarers, a leopard print cuff and a simple gold chain and gold bracelet.

Thank you for reading.

Popping Up - Vintage Style

My good friend Yusrah had a Pop Up event for her collection of vintage and thrifted clothing known as Guard The Vintage.

Yusrah has a great eye for scoping out great pieces so it was really fun to check out the collection of clothing that she had on display at the event.

Small treats and yummy bites were on hand to sweeten up the afternoon.

I wore a simple strapless dress with embellished with floral prints.

This dress is perfect for summery days when I want to look dressed up but not too fancy.

I've accessorised with my orange bangle and a gold cuff.

I'm wearing my much beloved wedges and my tan leather bag.

The hostess with the mostest, Yusrah herself.

It was a really enjoyable day and I hope to have one like it again soon.

Pink Floyd

Ive always wanted a pink blazer.

I was really happy when I spotted this oversized, slightly boxy one not too long ago.

Ive also always wanted a really feminine white chain mail hand bag so I was also overjoyed when I found this one. I love the gold accents on the bag, it looks so lush against the white.

I'm wearing my white link watch. I prefer bigger more masculine watches in general.

I got my ring at the China market. The colour of the ring goes so well with the colour of the blazer

 

These wedges are fast becoming my go to shoes.

I think the fact that they are so comfortable has a lot to do with it.

Ive paired two chunky gold and silver chains as a neck piece.

Leather+Stripes

These are some shots that I took a while ago.

I forgot about it and came across these photos on my camera so I thought I'd post them for you lovelies!

I thrifted this striped button down blouse a few months ago but it took me a while to warm up to it.

I love the shoulder pads as they add structure to the silky top.

Also longitudinal stripes are more flattering than horizontal stripes although I never hate on any stripe I see.

These leather shorts were also thrifted.

They are actually bermuda shorts but I cuffed them at the bottom to create a shorter look.

I completed the look with simple black tights, ankle booties and a leather clutch.

For accessories I have on my round framed sunglasses, bracelets that I wore on my matric dance.

My earrings were a gift from my sister and my ring is a little treat that I acquired some months ago.

The Flower Motif

 Hi all,

This is what I wore to varsity not too long ago.

I kept it simple and basic.

I thrifted this navy blue throw over. I love the floral motif. I'm a huge fan of patterns and small icons on clothing.

This throwover lightweight so it can be worn during summer.

I used a skinny belt to sinch it in at the waist. \

It does however have a button at the top so it can be worn more loosely. I'll show that in another post I'm sure.

I wore simple jewelry consisting of a silver bangle, my favourite watch as well as a simple chain that I wound around my neck twice.

Here I am whipping my hair back and forth:)

Enjoy your day and don't forget to follow by clicking on the lips in the top right column.

To The Max...

 A few weeks ago I wore this maxi dress out one evening for dinner.

I wore the leather jacket just to give this ultra feminine dress an edge.

I was in a whimsical mood so I went for this long, flowy dress.

I paired the dress with a skinny waist belt, my matric dance shoes and a vintage clutch.

I love these big disk like earrings that I have had for forever.

They were perfect for my dressy mood!

Do you ever get in the mood to just dress up and wear something that you normally would not wear??

I leave you with this quotation from Bill Blass

 "When in doubt, wear red." 

Enjoy your day
