Weekend Looks: Fall/Winter Must-Haves

It has been some time since I did this kind of post. Decided to do this one on 3 different must-have items; the color opaque tights (yes! you are not limited to just the black), the metallic skinny jeans (gold), the bodycon dress...

Look One - Color Tights

1. Color Opaque Tights ( source )

2. White Chiffon Shirt ( source )

3. Slouchy Denim Shorts ( source )

4. Gold Necklace ( source )

5. Smoking Slipper - this one is from Foschini, not sure if they still have it.

6. Black Hobo Bag ( source )

Side Note: you can add a cardigan (elctric blue) with this if its chilly. If you are looking for a more dresed up look; you can replace the flats with a heel and wear a blazer (electric blue).

Look Two - Metallic Jeans

1. Metallic Jeans ( source )
2. Black Bodysuit ( source )
3. White Blazer ( source )
4. Nude Pumps ( source )
5. Chunky Pearl Bracelets ( source )
6. Black Clutch Bag ( source )


Side Note: this pairing is very chic, can also be done with a silver metallic jeans and instead of the blazer, wear a sweater.

Look Three - The Bodycon Dress

1. Bodycon Dress ( source )
2. Denim Jacket ( source )
3.Leopard Print Bootie ( source )
4.Brown Skinny Belt ( source )
5. Purple Clutch Bag ( source )
6.Statement Ring ( source )

Side Note: I just love the bodycon dress! And clearly the leopard print footwear. A black blazer would also work well here.

Thanks for reading :)

How to Wear: Harem Pants

I am back! Apologies for the long silence. Took a break to study and complete an assignment or two, but I am back and ready to post again. There are such a lot of blogs and webpages on the internet about fashion and style, once I start surfing I just can't stop (I enjoy it though, don't get me wrong)

With all this information available it's important to stay true to your own style, be original and stand out. It is so easy to just "google" and find things nowadays; but how do you stay true to your own personal style, and still manage to keep up with the trends? Sure the outfit looked good on someone else, but that doesn't necessarilly mean it would look good or you, or it won't.

Staying true to my own personal style and favorites; today I am going to style a pair of HAREM PANTS, YES! Those MC Hammer Pants. LOL. I just love them and I know most people have a lot to say about them, but I just don't care.

So here are 3 pairings with the "MC HAMMER PANTS" :)

Brown Harem Pants

Orange Thin Belt

White Button Up Shirt

Nude Heels

Nude Bag

Cream and Gold Vintage Necklace

In this 1st pairing, I used brown harem pants. Paired them with a simple white button up shirt. The bag, shoes and necklace are all neutral colors, with the thin orange belt for some color.

Black Harem Pant

Black and Pink Racer Back Top

Denim Jacket

Vintage Pumps

Black Shopper Bag

Silver Pendant Necklace

Oversized Sunnies

I used a pair of black harem pants, paired with a pink and black racer back top with a denim jacket. Loving the vintage flats in this color, finish things off with a black shopper bag, silver pendant necklace and oversized sunnies.

Black Harem Pants

Black Sleeveless Shirt

Striped Blazer

Green Bag

Clog Heels

Vintage Silver Necklace

The last pairing is also of a pair of black harem pants, paired with a black sleeveless shirt. The focus of this pairing though would be the striped blazer, and I'm good with that. Accessorize this pairing with a vintage silver necklace, green sling bag, and black clog patforms.

All these 3 pairings are definitely for early Fall, and harem pants are definitely "all year round" kind of clothing item.

All Year Round: Summer Dresses

I was going to start posting about the change of seasons, the fall/winter closet essentials, transitional pieces from Summer to Fall; BUT with the way it is so HOT outside, I just can't bring myself to do it. I mean what would you think of me if I start going on about knitwear in this HEAT. I am looking forward to some chill in the air, but I have to say; it might be a very long time before we get any chill. Summer is refusing to let go and for some of us who have already been planning our wardrobes for winter, its not such a good thing.

So instead, I am going to tell you which Summer item you can keep in your closet for your Winter outfits...THE SUMMER DRESSES...loveable, light...if you are too attached, this is obviously great news...

You can keep warm (if it ever gets cold, I am not sure today); but pairing these with the winter wardrobe essentials.

KNITWEAR (yes knitwear, but focus on the SUMMER Dress instead)

Curve Jumper @Foschini for R320

STOCKINGS/ TIGHTS

BLAZERS AND CARDIGANS

Knit Blazer @Foschini for R320

The Boyfriend Blazer

I adore this orange Cardigan

BOOTS (for now I am just talking about ankle boots, I can't even look at a tall boot today)

Cuffed Boot @Foschini for R350

Lace - Up Boot @Foschini for R390

SCARVES

Printed Scarf with Tassles @Foschini for R90

This almost (or completely) covers most of Fall must have items...so in the next few weeks be on the look out for posts with pairing on these items including the Summer Dresses...
