Crop top Chronicles: Semi formal

Hi guys. So the crop top is one item that I tried to avoid for a long time since it became the hype. What scared me was that I have since lots the two abs I have due to winter & comfort food. Cape Town winter is long and so the damage became greater. Anyway I have taken charge again & I am back on the journey again. My aim is not to loose weight but more to tone & live healthy.

 Anyway I found myself making a crop top from a vintage blouse I had, then I went to own three more after. I seldom wear any because of my work but on weekends I do try to give them a taste of the sun. I also love wearing black & white as you may have noticed on the blog.  Here I paired the Mr Price skirt & crop top with shoes & bag from Zara.

Legs for my Man at the Waterfront

Hi guys.  Just a little post of this past weekend. Spent the day with my guy at the waterfront to have lunch. I wore a white blouse from a thrift store. The shorts are thrifted from a laundry, so they were free. The shoes I got from Payless shoes while I was in the USA. Hat is from Foschini & the neck piece is from Mr Price. Happy Monday

Monochrome: Woolworths/ Mr Price/ Vintage

Hello Ladies & Gents. Summer is truly upon us and me being me I am still wearing dark colours instead of transforming with the season. I love the classic & elegant combination of black & white. They are a simple colour combination which gives great results 90% of the time when paired together. If you read my blog then you will know of my obsession with these Woolworths shoes. I have decided to put them at the back of the closet just in case I wear them out. Here I wear a dress from Mr Price, it was longer so I altered it to that length (a lil leg aint hurt no one). The shirt is from Woolworths (kiddies school shirt section). I love white shirts & I am always looking for some that have strength on the collar but they are hard to find so I just buy the white school shirt. Jacket is also from Mr Price. See how I paired all these here, here, here & everywhere

Thrifted Meets Luxury; Vintage Finds

 Hi Guys. I love simple & stylish combinations. I love pairing everyday things to make them work for me from play to work. I found these Levis jeans in one of my vintage hunts in Woodstock Cape Town. I cut them to this length just to give them a new identity and I think they are fabulous like this. The tan bag & shoes have become a staple in my closet. They just go with anything. I loved wearing these Woolworths booties in winter too because they transform so easily. The top is also vintage, because that's how I roll. Here & my favourite here is how I also paired these combos. Tell me what you think.  Love

Woolies Block Heel & Prints (Again)

Hi ladies & gents. I know I am bit of a repeat offender when it comes to these Woolworths shoes. They are just so comfortable and easy to walk in I can’t seem to leave them alone. This time I paired them with a Mr Price skirt from way back in the day and this vintage top is somewhat of a treasure to me. Its one of those things that come in handy to save me whenever I am in a state of panic about what top to wear. See how I also paired these shoes here & here
