Coral trousers and lace printed t-shirt

Firstly – to all my American friends and ‘family’ my condolences on the horrific attack in Boston.

Praying that everyone finds comfort and that those you love and hold dear and close are safe.

It’s Terrific Tuesday – and I thought I best wear these coral trousers as I don’t know how many more wears I’ll get in before our cold weather arrives.  They’re just a little too thin to wear when the cold arrives.  I had seen this t-shirt on Jean of Extra Petite and immediately emailed Taryn and asked her to try and find it for me.  I was so thrilled when she let me know that she had found it and I have worn it many times.  I absolutely adore the lace detail imprinted in the shirt.

My outfit today is very similar to the one Jean is wearing above

I don’t wear a necklace when I wear this t-shirt as I think it would detract from the detail of the pattern.

I initially had only a blue belt with my blue and leopard print shoes – but really could not decide if I liked it or not.

So I choose to play it safe and swapped for the leopard print kitten heels and belt.

So I’m toying with a new blog name and wanted to ask what you think of the name ‘Closet Capers’?

Feedback and comments would be appreciated.

Have a stunning day now.

WIWW : Delightful denim

This is my first time linking up to What I wore Wednesday over at The Pleated Poppy. 

As I've said whenever I've worn this skirt, I l.o.v.e. my denim skirt.  It's not 'thick' denim and its a lovely feminine cut and style, with little ruffles at the back.  I have another denim skirt, but it feels like I'm trying to make a box fit my curves.  The waist is huge and it feels so box-like around me that I only wore it about three times and then gave up on it completely.

This morning when I got up, I really had no idea what I was going to wear and thought I'd grab the first mag next to my bed for some inspiration.  It was the Edgars (local South African clothing store) mag and they had a feature about blazers and how to style them, which totally inspired my look.  Although my jacket is more of a tuxedo style jacket.

Skirt : Express



T-shirt : contempo

Jacket : Mr Price

Shoes : Truworths

Scarf : Don't remember

 Somedays, I so wish I had a stylist to my outfit together, a hairdress to do my locks and a makeup artist to make to look divine.

Thanks for visiting and please come again.

Pretty inspiration

First off, if you don't read Jeans blog, Extra Petite, I highly recommend it, especially if you're petite, or not.  I'm not petite, but find her style delightful (double thumbs up Shybiker - she's so feminine).

A while back, shortly after finding her blog, I saw this post and fell in love with the lace print tee.  I asked Taryn if she could find it for me, and she did ... and after waiting a week, I finally wore it today. 

I was told I looked snazzy today - I sure did feel it, especially since I did not do much more than shower, dress and brush my hair yesterday - total contrast.

Skirt : The Hub

Necklace : Edgars

Bracelet : Charlotte Russe

Thanks Mz T for my gorgeous Tee

I'm looking forward to styling this with other items in my wardrobe.

The weather here has been fabulous and we saw the start of the Rugby World Cup this past week.  It was wonderful to see people of all races supporting our Boks.  5 years ago I'd never have believed I'd see the sights I did these past few days, South Africans of all colours wearing the green 'n gold ... it almost gives me hope for this beautiful country.

I watched part of our first match on Sunday morning and was really disappointed in our boys, despite their win, they appeared rather amaturish, especially consider they are the holders of the Cup and I really did not feel that they were the better team out on the field.  But, we'll stick with them anyway and keep the flags flying and hope it was just a bit of a rocky start to the tournament.

That's all for the today friends... be Fabulous, be Daring, be You.
