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!

A fun look to send off the winter. 

I got these perfect little leather gloves as a birthday present last year, again, those awesome gift that actually really work.  

This unbelievable clutch bag, made from a combination of plastic, leather and canvas *death* was a hand down from a Designer i did an internship with a few years ago, it was one of many things that were just hanging around the studio adding to the creative vibe of the space.  I just couldn't believe it when she said i could take it home with me...for keeps.   

The peep toe stripped heels found their home with me as a result of a swop that took place between myself and a good friend of mine, i ended up parting with a woollen tailored cape for these ladies, much to my kid sisters distaste,  sometimes i wander if my decision to let that cape go wasn't one of those overly impulsive ones?!  

But every time i catch my thoughts heading in that very futile direction, i go say hello to these skilfully made luxurious heels, and all resistance crumbles˜ ˜,

I then added a pair of black pantyhose and black patterned thigh high sox,just for taste.*wink*
