Peplum and lace wishes


From left: work top with lace sleeve detail and peplum, R360; teal cross-over top, R390 from Foschini via All 4 Women.

I love peplums!  When they were 'in style' in the early 90's. I had a beautiful soft pink suit and the jacket was a peplum ... I wore that suit to marry my ex however there are no photos.  We slipped off on a Friday afternoon and only a handful of people knew what we going to do.  I wish we'd at least taken a picture of two.

Back to present day - I really like the look of the black peplum top and will definitely take a peep at it when it arrives in stores.  Foschini has of the nicest work wear. 

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. 

Remember, Keep it Simply Sassy and Stylish.

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.
