Shirtdress Stylin’

Hi everyone!

So a while back I got this fab shirtdress from Mr Price and it was not winter yet so it was the perfect piece for a little tweak in my wardrobe. And then suddenly in the morning I ironed it so that it could be everythang for work and I accidentally burnt it…

First thing that I felt after that was a tear rolling down my cheek. I just couldn’t believe what happened! After that I was literally on the phone with my mom because somebody needed to help me carry this tragedy STAT!! And I knew I had made the right choice because in the middle of my sobs, Mom said that she also burnt a new item the first time she was going to wear it and spent 10 minutes crying about it which made her late for work! haha!!(I love that woman)

So on a lighter note I decided that seeing that I can’t wear it, I can definitely style it! I mean what what’s the point of letting it go to waste?! I’ve always wanted a shirtdress. Mostly inspired by Samantha Maria but I thought that hers looked too London Fashion Week and I needed something more practical.

So overall I thought it was very comfortable and easy to style. Very breezy and very light. Originally I wanted to style it with a red lip and minimal strappy black heels. But I wanted to do a pink make-up look so I ended up styling the shirtdress around it.

 I styled this look with this gorgeous clutch that I got as a gift from my mom that she got from The Box that I'll tell you guys about soon! It was the perfect elegant piece that just fit in perfectly with this look!

Thank you for stopping by!

Love,

Hi everyone!

We're headed to winter right now and even though buying dresses now might be a waste I just can't stop getting more. It's like the first thing I see when I walk into a store. So a while ago I got a similar dress to this in a bigger size because I wanted it to have that don't care vibe to it but it just ended up looking big and flumpy so I got this one to replace and I couldn't be happier!

The material is easy and light and the florals are so vibrant and it just moves so easily! Definitely the best new add to my wardrobe.

What do you guys think? How cute is this dress? I don't know what's up with me and brownish dusty obsession! So weird!

Hi everyone!

So this week I've been loading some #howto posts which were so much fun because as I'm typing them I felt like I was learning too! It's very difficult for me at the moment to upload ootds because I almost never like the background and I always have to go into town to get them uploaded so I'm sorry for providing less style posts.

This outfit is basically something I always knew would work ever since I got those shoes! They belong to my mom though(lol) so when I looked in the mirror I was satisfied with the combo!

What do you think?

Do you wear your mother's things sometimes?

Blue and Brown MisMatch

Hi everyone!

Shut down my blog last week because I needed to focus on looking for a job. And honestly - it was the best decision ever. Drawing up a schedule made me feel in control but last week I just couldn't stick to it and I'm terribly sorry for that.

But I'm here now and so excited to share this Sunday outfit!

To be honest I would have never put this together because I just always know that I wear pants with this blouse but decided to take a risk and this was the result!

What do you think? Leave a comment below!

My hair is such a hot mess but it just reminded me of slightly worn out white All Stars and they always look better when they look like you just picked them up from the street!! Lol!!

Fifty shades of BLUE

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all well!!

I think this style truly represents me! Effortless, chic and means business!(lol) or atleast that's how I feel in it! Recently, I went to the flea market with my mother and I picked up this crisp and clean shirt and I just fell in love! Tried it on and fell deeper! And I just couldn't wait to style it.

Here I've paired it with a pair of amazing skinny jeans from Edgars that I got last year and these FashionWorld heels and I just thought it would tie the look together nicely.

Leave your thoughts below the post!! Would love to get your view on it!

Hi everyone!!

I hope you guys read my previous post about what you can expect from my channel in 2015!!

It's so overwhelming - but I'm so determined to make this happen!!!!

So today I'm doing 1 of 3 looks that I want to create with this dress!! I got it from Cotton On and I've been in love ever since!! It's made from the most amazing material that's both soft and breathable and I just love the swoosh movement it makes when I walk!

I think Cotton On will be getting new collections so I'm not sure if you'll find it in store(sorry!)

Lemme know what you think!!

Burnt Orange Beauty

Helloo!!

Long time, no blogging! Today I wore this beautiful knitted dress type outfit to church and I couldn't wait to show it off! Probably because the colour is way out of my normal 'comfort' colours so I just closed my eyes and bought it! The sun is out and about but its still a bit breezy so as a South African resident that just means that its cold and therefore you must boot up! I'm starting my tests on Tuesday so I'll be MIA again for about 2 weeks!

Let me know what you think?!

My booties are so far from clean ...!

So apart from that...

I hope you like it!

Some Pink Spice!

Heloooo!!!

It's winter now but for some reason every now and again the sun comes out to play! So that means pick something from your summer collection archive that you packed away at the beginning of May!!! I had a full day of classes so my pick was my trusty beige booties...in that way I get to wear socks! And this pink skirt I got from  a MrPrice store like forever ago!!

Let me know what you think?!

My wardrobe is all about maintaining style on a really strict budget. All my clothes come from 'regular' stores but I'm hoping to expand my clothing store options in future! Other pieces are thrifted but seeing that I only go home every 3 months I rarely get time to acquire unique staple pieces.

Durban

Helooo!!!

I recently went on holiday to Durban to visit a friend! We also sort of took a roadtrip because I’ve never done that before!! Problem is- I didn’t have a camera and I was really bummed that wouldn’t be able take any cute pictures to show my family! So during the holiday I decided to jump into the deep side and just swim!! So I now have a new camera!!! I couldn’t take a lookbook but I decided to post some snaps of basically the last 2 days and also some cute interior pieces of my friend’s house!!

Please don't mind the time and date! I took me quite some time to figure out where to disable it!!

Till next time!
