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

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 :)

Weekend Looks: The Boyfriends Jeans

Boyfriends are definitely on trend for Fall/ Winter. They are really comfortable and you can pair them with a t-shirt and flats for a casual look or a button up shirt for a night out. Here's a look at 3 pairings for the weekend;



Boyfriend Jeans
Racer Back T-Shirt
Plaid Button Up Shirt
Sandals
"Nerdy" Sunglasses
Black Shopper

Here I am pairing the jeans with a white racer back top, tucked into the pants and the plaid shirt is worn over the top, unbuttoned. For the shoes, I chose a comfortable gladiator sandal with a small heel, accessorising with those cute-as-a-button geeky glasses and take your shopper bag with you. This look is very laid back, for running errands or just hanging out.

Trend Alert:

In this pairing, I have a few trends that you can look out for in the upcoming season. The layering and plaid clothing. I personally love plaid shirts! And I will be doing a post on layering in the upcoming weeks leading to winter.





Boyfriend Jeans
Cropped Stripped Shirt
Vintage Sandals 
Straw Trilby Hat
Vintage Sling Bag
Gold Pendant Necklace
Sunglasses

The 2nd pairing has a lot of vintage piece, I just love timeless items of clothing. Here I'm pairing the jeans with a white stripped cropped top, the strappy sandals, with a small heel as well. Added a trilby hat, a beautiful vintage pendant necklace and brown sunnies. For the final touch, I added a brown vintage sling bag to this look. The look is a also very laid back and casual.

Trend Alert:

Vintage sling bag, get one. Its timeless and its a great investment.





Boyfriend Jeans
Black Sleeveless Shirt
Fitted Blazer
Leopard Print Peep Toe
Vintage Gold Necklace
Gold Clutch

The 3rd and final pairing is for the Saturday night out or even date night. Its chic and elegant. Here I am pairing the BF jeans with a plain black button up shirt (sleeveless), a gorgeous leopard print peep toe shoe (or a bootie), the vintage gold necklace, which is worn under the colar of the shirt (you button up the shirt all the way to the top, and wear the necklace like a tie), and I have also included a simple, but elegant gold clutch bag. Now the fitted blazer does bring the look together, but can be taken off if its a nice warm night.

Trend Alert:

3 upcoming trends featured in this look, besides the jeans. 1st one is the fitted blazer. Blazers are a must have for winter, and best to get a fitted one (be on the look out for a post on how to wear your fitted blazer for winter). 2nd trend is the leopard print shoes; heels, flats, wedges, they are all in! And lastly the button up shirt, all colours basically...I think I should add a 4th trend; that gold vintage necklace, my advice is get one; I am also going to post on how to wear it and try to find out where you can buy them locally and the prices.
