Houndstooth pencil skirt

Houndstooth pencil skirt

 I did it again!  Rushing in the store and picking up hose and got caught with the shiny ones.  I so don't like them shiny, I like them matte :-(.

Accessorize Statement Necklace

I really like this shirt, but the same complaint as the last time I wore it - its a little short ... or maybe I'm just getting chubbier.

I wore this skirt way back in March and decided to have it shortened.  I finally took it in last week and had a good 25cm taken off.  I think it looks so much better.  The shirt and shoes are both from last winter.

Hows your houndstooth collection?  Are you rocking houndstooth this winter?

Hope your day is happy.

Teal shirt and the Monday manicure

I am a day behind and I did not even photographs of yesterday's look.   But on Sunday I did paint my nails and toenails ... and I have not even worn sandals yet.

(oops about the blurry photo but my Schatzie has bad morning shakes and with it being school holidays, my usual photographer was still snuggled under her blankies when these pics were being taken)

This shirt was a sale find at Legit some months back (this is the first time I've worn it) and with it being a little cooler today I thought it high time I showed it off.   I love the detail over the shoulders but I forgot to photograph it. However,  it is a little visible at the top.

The details:

Shirt and necklace : Legit

Pants and shoes : Truworths

Belt : Edgars

A whole lot of catch ups

Wednesday 13 March 2013

 

I still have a few new items not yet shown on the blog, but I’m working at re-wearing and remixing items already in my wardrobe.

Today I decided to wear this dress at least once more before the colder weather arrives in earnest here in the southern

Hemisphere.

At first I wasn’t totally sure that this would look too good together but am quite impressed by how well it did work.

Monday 11 March 2013

 

 

I choose to start this week off with a big bang of the colour purple topped off with some leopard. 

 

I added an old necklace that has some animal print threaded through the chain, gold watch and sparkly earrings to ‘dress it up’.

 

I choose to keep the shoes simple and neutral and decided to wear my grey two toned toe cap shoes (I do love these shoes so).

 

The Deets :

Skirt – Mr Price

T-Shirt – Fashion Express

Cardigan - Truworths

Shoes – Rage

Necklace – Miladys

Earrings – Charlotte Russe (thanks Mz T.)

Watch – Lanco (was a gift Mz T got for her 18^th birthday but she does not wear yellow gold)

Ring – bought when I lived in Germany and I can’t remember the store – but I remember the day L

 

 

Friday 8^th March 2013

A few weeks back when I visited the Woolworths 50% off sale (as a card holder, we get an extra 10% over and above the 50%)

I indulged in three pairs of jeans as mine were due for replacing.  I bought these which have a cute design on the back pocket

(but we forgot to photograph it) with a coral tank and my think white cotton shirt.  To give it a kick, I added the kitten heel

Leopard print sling back shoes.

The Deets:

Jeans – Woolworths

Tank – Local chinese store

Shirt – Pick ‘n Pay

Belt – unknown – stolen from Mz T years ago

Shoes – Truworths

Necklace – I think its from Mildays

 

Thursday 7^th March 2013

 

I felt super pretty in this outfit.  I just love this short and am still sorry that I did not buy more in different colours at the

time I purchased this one.  As I always say, its more green than the blue it shoes up as in the photos.

I choose to wear two necklaces, however, I see the bits on the shorter of the two did not show up too nicely.

The Deets:

Top – Makro

Skirt – Fashion Express

Shoes – Rage

Belt – Edgars

Necklaces - Accessorize

 

Hope everyone has been great.  Things have been a bit hectic, with a photo shoot this past weekend and a new PM at

work – I can’t believe it’s already Thursday tomorrow!!

 

Hope your week has been grand.

FABruary Style Challenge : Day 20 : Boot Up

 

With summer temperatures expected here in Jozie today - I had to pass on this challenge.  I'm aware that its been on trend to wear boots with shorts and summer dresses, but I do believe I'm just not up to that trend at this stage of my life.

 

My offering for the day is this gorgeous soft top I bought fairly recently at Foschini.  I had originally chosen a beautiful blue top but when I got it home and fitted it, I wanted it a little bigger so I returned to get a bigger size, but they had none in the colour I'd originally chosen.  Dilemma!  I then chose this beautiful rich plum-ish colour.  Its more gorgeous in person.

 

This top is so versatile ... I wore it with shorts on the weekend and have every intention of styling it with jeans and other bottoms in my closet and I'll be wearing this right through winter as well.

 

Hope your Wednesday was fabulous.
