GIRL ABOUT LIFE BLOG: July 2015

LOOK POST: shades of grey

So the day I got these pants I already had the outfit in mind. Monochrome is always so effortless and chic. Instead of going with the normal black or white monochromatic looks you can also do grey or camel or any other colour for that matter. I prefer subtle colours though. Out of the 3 looks this has to be my most favourite outfit.

crop top: Jay Jays

Cardigan: Factorie

Pants:

Shoes: Mr Price

LOOK POST: That slit though

Last week I convinced my friend Lusanda Mdleleni to take pictures of me in different outfits, kinda like a photo shoot. The first outfit went up last week Monday (20/07/2015) titled ripped jeans and faded dreams. This here is the second look post and the last two will be posted in the next coming week.

The sucky (yes sucky is a word) thing about not being used to "photo shoots" is you forget that you need accessories and lipstick but next time I will do better.

So let's talk about this look. How dramatic is that slit? It's the reason why I fell in love with it in the first place. The second reason ofcource is the colour. I had an option to go for grey but this navy was just too beautiful to let slip. I paired the skirt with this peach knitwear top and added the heels and sunglasses for a touch of sass (I have no idea what sass means). I really like this outfit and I was feeling myself a little, just a little.

Outfit:

Sunglasses: Mr Price

Knitwear: Edgars

Skirt: Vintage Bazaar

Shoes: Mr Price

LOOK POST: Ripped jeans and Faded dreams

How do you bloggers know what to write everytime they want to put up a post? Writer's block is real guys. Anyway you all know,well some of you, how much I love these boots, they give me life! So when presented with an opportunity to wear them i will always say yes.

A couple of months ago I tried to rip these black jeans. They did not come out right or rather I did not like the way the whole thing came out so I put them at the back of my closet and tried to forget about them until a few days back when I was thinking of ways to wear this boyfriend shirt. Yes I think of outfits before hand and I do a little fashion show in my room every opportunity i get. Instead of throwing the jeans away I thought why not just wear them and embrace the big gaping whole by the knee.

Big thank you to Lusanda, a dear friend of mine who had to witness quite a lot yesterday when we were taking these pictures.

Shirt: Vintage Bazaar
Jeans: thrifted
Shoes: Asmalls

LOOK POST: That vintage jersey

My mother hates this jersey. She laughed at me so hard when we got it and even mentioned that if I get tired of it I should give it to my gran. Lol I don't think that will happen though because I am completely in love with this jersey. They had quite a number of colour palettes but they did not have my size. I would have bought every single one if I had the money.

So for this look I paired my granny jersey with white jeans and all stars. Honestly I have no idea how else to wear this jersey because it is bulky (which is why i love it so much) but all I know is I will have fun figuring it out.
