A Spring In My Step :)*

whO said winter has tO be all dull and grey?

 

 

I lOove! lOve these pants! I gOt them by pure chance, I was walking past the stOre and saw that they they were marked dOwn, I didn't even hesitate! cOlOur + print = :)! I alsO lOve texture, sO, it wOuld gO withOuth saying that I'd layer away!

 

This feather neckpiece is alsO a favourite Of mine! It's just seemed tO survive the years as Others cOme and gO!

#Winnning :p



Military*

 

Denim shirt, camO skinnies and a beige knit... that's that life that we're living these days! today's nOt as cOld as yesterday, but it is nippy....

 

I'm actually at the pOint where I am way tOo lazy tO change this bag. Like, all my stuff fits in here! sO, I'm gOnna have tO make sure that everything that I wear gOes with it. That won't be tOo difficult! 

Knits & Crannies*

clOse tO where I live [like, literally, around the cOrner] is a little dam, sO this means that we suffer from extra cOld weather. Like, Jozi is Only starting tO get cOld,  but we're already On Winter 2.0!

 

sO, standing here, taking these pics I am freezing my behind Off and I'm nOt even sure if I'm layered up enough, that time I'm already six layers deep!

 

if I gOt paid tO keep my mOuth clOsed, I'd prOlly be sitting On R0.5

 

But Okay! I figured a knit maxi dress wOuld be the best OptiOn fOr tOday: I like this dress a lOt! Like, nOt sO lOng agO I had dressed it up, sky-scraper heels, statement neckpiece, clutch and all but tOday I can thrOw it On with a cardi and bOoties! If that's nOt a winning fOrmula then I dOn't knOw what is! AlsO, I die fOr a cinched waist!

 

Psssssst wOuld yOu believe me if I said I bOught this cardi fOr R5? Okay, then. Bye!



bOots with the fur*

Sunday was On a very chilled tip. We hOoked up with my friend whO was having the hOusewarming tO have some left-Over bOoze and just kick back.

 

sicel' amafleyt, s'cel' amafleyt!! [I'm ratchet, this can't be helped]

withOut the fur.

with the fur buttOned up.

 

These are the Other stOckings that I mentiOned in the blue pOst. They carried me thrOugh sOme rOugh times! I need tO make time tO find replacements, befOre these get completely wOrn!

As yOu can probably tell frOm the glOominess in the pics, the temperatures have started tO plummet in Jozi and my fur gilets and cOssacks are nOw at the fOre Of my clOset! 

P.S My ObsessiOn with fur is abOut tO becOme mOre apparent.



fOr a day abOut tOwn*

My Saturday was actually quite busy! yOu knOw, thOse days where yOu almOst spread yourself tOo thin and make cOmmitments tO gO everywhere with everyone, ya!

 

Eventually I figured Out a way tO cOordinate everything and make sure I get 'rOund tO dOing all that I had set Out tO: It started Off with a mOrning at the Randburg Flea Market [lOoking fOr a hOusewarming gift], then I mOved On tO the NeighbOurgOods market fOr a brunch date with a new friend and an Old friend, afterwards I headed tO a friend's braai/ hOusewarming in Bryanston. After which, I ended up at The Joy of Jazz in Gold Reef City.

 

It was jam packed, right!? The cOol thing was that I was in bed by midnight, like a gOod girl! :)

 

Anyway, this is what I wOre:

 

 

My mOm gOt me this brOwn leather bag, Or she might have gOt it fOr my little sister and I swapped her a red leather bag fOr it, I can't recall at this time. Anyway, it is my absOlute favOurite! fOr Obvious reasOns. I alsO really like my affOrdable imitatiOn Of the Chloe 'Susan' bOotie, I find myself reaching fOr it mOre Often than nOt!



It'll be blue :)*

Okay, I drafted this pOst On Friday with the intention Of publishing it On the same day, but my day gOt sO manic I just didn't have the time!

When I wOke up this mOrning all I knew was that I wanted tO wear my blue stOckings, and sO everything else that I picked was centred arOund that! I had bOught these stOckings last winter and never really gOt tO wear them much because they're just sOo blue and there isn't really much yOu can wear them with. That and the fact that I have these Other mauve Ones that are a guaranteed winner, sO naturally I gave them mOre air time when it came time tO add cOlOur tO an Outfit.

 

One Of the things I thOrOughly enjOy abOut the cOlder mOnths is the layering and hOw yOu can play arOund with clOthes [in this case hOsiery] tO add different dimensiOns tO an Outfit. What I've alsO nOticed is that stOckings alsO tend tO make sOme Outfits mOre apprOpriate; like imagine if I hadn't wOrn these stOckings with this faux leather mini? It wOuld be a totally different stOry!

 

tOday's Outfit is, by far, my favOurite fOr this week. I think it shOws the perfect cOntrast between my tOmbOy-ish ways and feminine side. What I had tO learn, and very fast, when I mOved tO Joburg was hOw tO rOck a hat. BefOre. hats used tO make me nervous [as I've mentioned in a previOus pOst] because my head is pretty small, yet my fOrehead is huuuge, sO it was a bit difficult tO picture myself in a hat. With the biting Jozi cOld weather, I wOuld be faced with the dilemma Of chOosing between earmuffs and hats. Earmuffs are NOT fOr me [my issue with my ears is a stOry fOr anOther day], sO it was a pretty ObviOus choice.

sO gully!

 

 

I think, this is my first time wearing a beanie! nOt tOo shabby fOr a virgin :)
