White denim, nude heels and a crochet bolero

WHEN : Tuesday 15th October

THE DEETS :

Capris: Woolworths

Cami: Contempo

Bolero : CCI (Cheap Chinese Import - Wording stolen from sisters friend)

Sandals : Fashion Express
Bracelet : Bought at a store in Graskop
Earrings : Truworths

THE DAY PLAN : Besides working on the final edits of the photos of little Lisa, I had planned to get some reading of my current module done.  I'm wanting to get both of these things finished by the end of the week.

I decided to put up the tripod and quickly take my pictures of the outfit as I find that by the afternoon its a bit mad in our house, so I decided to quickly do them.  Took all of about 5 minutes in total.  

I love these capris, so much so that I also bought a red and mint pair when they were in store and which have all been featured many times on the blog.  They're comfy enough to sit in the entire day.  The sandals I bought about a week back.  I wanted wedge nude sandals as they're so versatile and you can really wear them with everything.  Since I'm a 'retrenched recession`ista reworking her wardrobe' now, I'm really not shopping much, but I can't resist a little purchase here and there.  I bought these after my sister had bought a face cream that I had in my stock basket, so I didn't feel too guilty.  I wanted a pair of nude sandals and when I saw these, except for the brushed suede finish, they were perfect - the height of the heel and the colour.

My cute crochet bolero has maybe made one appearance on the blog.  Schatz bought it for me and I can't remember the exact store, but I'm pretty sure it was at a Chinese store.  I really like it, but find I'm challenged on how to style it.  Today it seemed to fit well.

Well pretty ones - thats all for me for today.  I'm now headed off to collect my nephew, then my son and then to drop my nephew and mother at their home.

Have a magnificent day now.

I don't do red lipstick - at all.  I have really thin lips, so when I were red on my lips, my lips look even thinner.  It kinda makes me cringe because my lips like a mean witches stripe across myface - so I have a real mental block with it.  I don't even own a red lipstick - so I had to skip this one ... however, if navy and white were the order of the day, I believe I have passed.

My hair behaved so well this morning ... why is it that some days it's like an untamed child and no amount of coaxing will make it do as you wish.  Then other days, you can't believe you ever have a hard time!

I have mostly worn my nude wedges with these white capris (but my tootsie nails are still not painted), but today took a little leap and decided to wear my two toned grey cap toe courts.  I'd usually not wear this colour with the rest of my ensemble, but decided to be a little daring and overall, I think they look fabulous.

Have you noticed that my little photographer is doing such a stunning job?  Courteney has been taking my photos in the morning and I'm really chuffed with what a great job she's been doing.

Hope your day is stunning ... and please do drop a note in the box before you leave.

I feel fabulous in this outfit.  I have hummed and haaaed about buying white pants and finally decided to go for it.  Oh my, I'm so going back to Woolies for a few more pairs of these in other shades, they are super comfy and if you have hips like me, they fit so well over the area, not pulling or biting ... divine.  So all you curvy gals, get to woolies now and grab a pair.  You'll get your moneys worth of wear out of them over the summer and with Christmas, New Year, pool parties and braais on the way, they'll work for all the outings including dressing them up for work.

The shoes stole my heart on Saturday when I passed by Meltz.  We'd gone to buy Liam a desk and then stopped off for lunch, which took us past Meltz, so I had to go and have a look.  They had these shoes in Teal and Taupe as well but Schatz said I should go for these coral ones.  They're just such 'happy' shoes.  I am smitten.  My domestic worker squealed when she saw them ... I think it we wore the same size shoe she'd simply redistribute half my shoes to her closet.

I did some birthday present shopping yesterday and also some Christmas decorations shopping.  I need to add a few more items to my table centre piece and put a nail in the door to hang the wreath.  I am going to start getting the decorations out of storage and sorting through them.  I dont' think I 'need' to buy any more decorations, but the 'want' may take over.

So let me get started with the other needs of the day - hope your Monday is fabulous!

I'm joining up at Pattis Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style as I really feel any but invisible in this outfit today.
