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.

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.

Snakeskin scarf

Capris and a scarf

Details : Shoes : Shoecity | Capris : Meltz | T-shirt : Makro | Scarf : Pick 'n Pay | Watch : Fossil

Nude wedges

This morning I decided that since my guys are going to site, I'd dress a little casual.  I choose my linen capris (Meltz) and the batwing-ish t-shirt (Legend @ Makro) and the scarf that my sister Lynn gave me as part of my Christmas present (Pick 'n Pay) and my trust nude wedges (ShoeCity) and my necklace that Taryn gifts me and for the life of me I can't remember where its from, but Charlie something rings a bell (its from State side) so please forgive me.  My watch is a Christmas gift to myself last December and its a Fossil and the ring came from a little tourist store in Graskop and was bought for me by Schatz last year.

We had the most awe inspiring storm last night.  When I was brushing my teeth, lighting came crackling through the sky and as I looked out the window down onto the Klipriver Drive and Bellairs intersection, it hit the lights and that led to sparks flying all over and the traffic lights then went dead.  It was scary and makes your heart beat faster ... poor little Marshy was rather flustered and Tequila was panting heavily and underfoot as she gets highly stressed with storms and fireworks.

Schatz said he was woken a few times after that by the power going out ... lucky for me, I slept through it.

This look is inspired in part by this picture off of Pinterest.  I have planned to replicate it again however, not with shorts but trousers.

Chiffon sleeves

Chiffon slit sleeved top ... and animal print

Top : Markro | Skirt : Truworths  |  Shoes : Truworths  |  Watch : Tempo  |  Belt : Edgars

Did you see?  Did you notice?  Its a photo with me wearing my glasses ... its seldom that I take pictures wearing my glasses, I don't know why I don't like taking pictures with them on though. 

I so wish I'd bought more of these tops in different colours as I love it but the last time I was in Makro they did not have any.  When I originally bought this one, there were other colours.  But looking at it, I think it would be easy enough to fashion the sleeves onto some 'tank' tops myself ... now that's an idea - anyone have a few spare hours to give me to do this ... lol.

This evening Schatz and I are going on a little evening course (3 hours) at the Academy of Creative Photography called 'Intro to Manual Mode'.  I bought the offer on Groupon and couldn't resist when I saw it - I'm trying to encourage him to step out of the comfort zone of 'creative modes' on his camera and embrace Manual mode.  When he takes pictures on my camera, he always moves back to the 'safe' zone and I understand his hesitation, but know the 'liberation' that comes from using Manual. 

Hope your day is fabulous.
