FABruary Style Challenge : Day 7 : Red lips

Two toned grey cap toe shoes

Navy and white striped blazer

Silver Accessories

White capris
Details : Capris : Woolworths | Cami : Pick 'n Pay | Blazer : Truworths | Shoes : Rage | Belt : Edgars | Bracelet & Rings : Truworths | Necklace : The Silver Company

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.

Red - two days in a row

Navy and red
Red, Navy and Tan

Skirt, blazer & t-shirt : Truworths
Shoes : Edgars
Belt : Legit
Watch : Fossil

This was totally unintentional ... and I'm going to blame the season, oh heck, I'll be honest, by the morning I seldomly remember what I wore the day before.  Despite putting a reminder on my phone last night, I did not get my outfit ready so I had to decide this morning what I was going to wear.

I am thrilled that I finally found an OBI Belt that was not crazy expensive and fit me and that I like the colour of.  On Saturday when Courts and I were at The Glen we popped into Legit as I often find cute items for both of us there.  I first found a lovely 'shade of blue shirt' and as I was standing at the till I looked to my right and thre were OBI belts ... I checked and luckily found the only Large on the rail and snapped it up ... but the thrilling part was that both items were marked down by over 50% ... S.C.O.R.E.!  The belt was all of R29.99 and the shirt was down from R129.99 to R49.99. 

I was looking for something to wear the belt with and this morning as after I'd decided on the skirt and jacket I saw the red t-shirt and thought it would go great with the brown belt and brown shoes. 

I've been thinking about creating a 'clothing catalogue' of my clothing so that I wear things more often.  I often forget what I have in my closet and that's just wrong ... it almost means I have way too many items of clothing.  I think I am going to make this a bit of a priority and that way I could possibly mark how often I've worn something and if I have a quick visual of the items in the closet will wear them more often.  Any suggestions?
