Boyfriend jeans and a statement necklace for Visible Monday

So folks, how do I look?

Woolworths Re Boyfriend Jeans - Handbag and Shoes (Kelso) from Edgars

Statement necklace from Legit (Same with different coloured hangers available at Sass Diva)

WHEN : Monday, October 21st 

THE DAY PLAN : The rain that thankfully arrived yesterday is still with us today and is making it really chillo.  Since I have really straight hair, the damp just does not let it hold any styling I've done to it - so today is an iffy hair day and its on these days that I with my hair were long enough for a ponytail.  I need to run out to the bank, but mostly will be spending the day at the pc reading my module 4 and looking at marketing opportunities for Simply Sassy Photography and hashing out my thoughts on a competition I'd like to run. 

I'm still very much in the 'comfy casual smart' look and with that in mind, decided that since  I haven't worn my boyfriend jeans in a while, I'd pair them with a thin cotton long sleeved shirt I bought at Mr. Price ages ago.  I choose it because its thin enough should the day warm up a little and if not, I can throw one of my pashminas over for warmth.  I must admit, I'm not sure I'll wear the shoes out when I head to the bank, but probably a pair of brown heels.

I'm not sure I've ever shown this bag off on the blog, mostly because I'm not sure I've ever actually used it.  I'm making a concerted effort to use what I have, all this crazy indulgence must end ;-).



A grey and wet day outside -  maybe I'll swap the shoes before I head out

Woolworths boy fit jeans

 

I took Jarod off to the podiatrist this morning as he has complained every other day about his foot being sore.  In 2009 we took him to see the podiatrist after going shoe shopping and noticing that his feet were totally flat - he had no arches.  He'd trip and loose his balance often and we thought it was an attention ploy/being inattentive (boy were we wrong) but then realised that he actually could not help it.  His feet are so much better, but his calves and Achilles tendons are very tight and he needs to ice them 3 x daily and rub Voltaren gel on 3 x daily and do stretching exercises, which he's just not done. 

 

I wore these boy fit jeans from Woolworths -  they call them 'boy fit' not 'boyfriend'.  I need to say that I'm not used to wearing such loose jeans, but dang they are so comfortable (I also got them on the Woolies sale for about R100.00).   I pained over the decision to buy them and I'm still not sure they're the best look on me, but I'll live with that since they're so comfortable.  (Being pair shaped, I always hear we should wear bootleg cut jeans)   They're a little wider down the leg than I'd have like, but I couldn't turn them down when I saw the price - I love a good Sale price especially from stores like Woolworths and Truworths.

It was fairly chilly this morning with it looking like it was going to pour down with rain, so I choose to wear this cable knit from Pick 'n Pay.  Its an acrylic/nylon mix so it's not super warm.  I worn an old white short sleeved top underneath and my black slippers from Woolworths.
 

 

The cute peacock pendant is from my daughter Taryn - and although she told me where it comes from, I don't remember ;-).

This is a really casual 'mom-on-the-Saturday-morning-run' look and I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Hope you're having an awesome weekend!
