LuckyMe Clothing

 If i may draw your attention to the navy Masterpiece of a Hat hanging on the Mannequin.  I found it at one of my favorite fabric stores not too long ago, I couldn't believe it...How stunning?!

Of cause it wasnt for sale, so i had to literally beg for almost an hour for the Manager to just put a price on it and let it go.  I explained in the best way possible to him that there would be no way i would be leaving without it, and assured him that it would certainly have a much better life with me.

Just look at it...What an amazing piece of creativity in the name of Fashion.  I LOVE MY JOB.

It allows me to collect all sorts of things that i sometimes don't have a personal use for, except to share them with you, without it being labeled as hoarding:) ;)

In this look I wear a white LuckyMe crop shirt, a new addition to our collection which i'm obsessed with, along with this High waist LuckyMe african print skirt.

A Zebra detail Necklace, a leather Guess bag and my new favorite Europa art Wedge slip on's.

Life is too short to not have fun with your Fashion...Enjoy it!

These photo's where taken almost five years ago, since then iv posted and sheared some of them, but mostly they've just been in storage, so i thought i'd dust them off, clean them up a bit and present them as part of a recap  of LMClothing's look book over the years. 

They represent a young fire to me, the beginning of something special.  All we had then was a camera, our home and a small bunch of sample garments i had randomly been making  between my studies, work and what ever clients i could manage.  Kido was kind enough to lend me her body, as she has had to too many more times over the years, while i tried to find my way behind the camera.

I learned and experienced a lot since then, I've had enormous amounts of help and I've struggled on my own at times, either way I'm grateful for this journey.  Im still as eager to learn as i was back then and i now understand better that the power of an attitude of wanting to do and learn, along with passion, perseverance, a positive mental attitude and a bit of magic is the key to unlocking the door to my endless possibilities.

The Soil

Early last year my family got to host our very first traditional wedding for our oldest sister Tsholo.  I was given the fortunate task of dressing the wedding party and our youngest sister Katli would be the host of the celebrations.

I dressed her in a high-low Peplum shirt with a white Peter Pan collar and a high wasted short skirt.  She finished off her look with a pair of black Opaque stockings as it was a winter wedding, and a pair of patent leather, peep toe stilettos.

Her look is made up of two simple garments which are livened up by the flamboyant mix of prints and the 'trendy' characteristics of both pieces.  See more on this post on her blog http:/katalystkollection.blogspot.com

My style

You've got mail!

It all started with a piece of fabric I found on sale at one of my favourite fabric stores late last year, they only had one and a half meters to spare of this absolutely gorgeous piece of textile.

So I bought the fabric thinking I'd have to make something simple but also dressy, and the garment would also have to allow me to use most of the 1.5meters because I needed to have all of this material used for the garment...I loved it so much.

 This high waist African print skirt is the result of that days deliberation.  

Later on, I was fortunate enough to find this neon neckpiece to add to my accessories drawer, I think its very tasteful and the colour adds enough of an edge for me to be sold on it.

I picked up this structured sling bag during the neon phase.  I can be a "trend slave" sometimes, I think there's a method and smartness in mastering how to follow a good trend well.

I have to admit though, I'm really glad I still have enough feelings for this bag to be using it still, I'm still not too sure about it, its one of those items I feel like belong to someone else, it hasn't settled in with me yet.

Non the less, we are still together and going strong.

I finally decided to get myself a pair of barely there heels...I know!

I have to admit, it took my younger Virgo years to convince me to finally get a pair, for some reason I persistently thought they where to simple for me to pull off. She'd always said they are a must have for any female that might enjoy a moderate to extreme dress up session at times.   She insists that they posses the special power of making any foot, I mean any foot, look feminine...Looks like she was spot on from the door!
