outfit | outfit of the day: 12/4/2014

hello readers 🙂 if you follow me on twitter, you would know that the past few weeks/month has not been the easiest (hence why i chose medicine as the song for this post… hehe) but i thought that my blog deserved a little outfit post. it was a quick little shoot done by yours truly with a tripod in my bedroom, hence why there are no detail shots, only my shoes (and my new hair) because i especially needed a reason to blog about them.

#mbfwj day 2: tart & selfi

my inaugural fashion week attendance was pretty much life making. in another post, you’ll understand exactly why, but this one is about the first show i witnessed. like most fashion related institutions, the space was running a competition to see a #mbfwj show – in this case, the tart & selfi show on the 21st of march 2014 – and of course i avidly took to the interweb to enter, therefore the biggest of huge ‘thank you‘s goes out to them for the tickets! being in the second row was amazing – i sat behind this lady (who was live instagramming the whole show, shoutout to her ability to edit/post so quickly) who, for a few minutes, i genuinely thought was lena dunham. it was very confusing but ridiculously awesome to say the least.

white dress and sunday bests

i was thinking of doing an october month summary because quite a bit has happened that has just remained undocumented. crunch time at school and stuff – you pick your battles.

even though i do actually where dresses and sometimes i wear heels (the whole being tall thing, you know), yesterday, people found it considerably surprising that i wore both together. comments like “wow! you look so pretty today” and an unusual amount of  “you look so nice”s hit me right in the self esteem because how does that mean i look every other day of my life 🙁 🙁 🙁 ??? i also got asked if i was going to a confirmation that day. who know a white dress on a sunday would cause such commotion?
moving on though. it has been a busy week and a busy month, with the most important exams of my life steadily approaching and me doing little to aid it but whatever, i thought i should blog this outfit instead of study. priorities.
what i wore:
  • dress from edgars (biggest dilemma of my life – white or black???)
  • shoes from truworths
  • watch from avon
  • my oh-so-not-celine celine bag from my mother
i am also very happy to have my braids back – i missed them so much 🙁
side note: you are very welcome to skip the very last photo of this blog post. it’s of my feet *shrugs*.
have a great week and stuff, though! 🙂

Welcome To My Neighbourgood

Welcome To My Neighbourgood
A long overdue post with a punny title – ah, that seems familiar. Very true to character. Very. Anywho, like I mentioned in my previous Street Style post, last Saturday, my sister and I ventured to Braamfontein and the Neighbourgoods Market. Such a happy vibe.

In other news, I went back to school this week, and as anyone can possibly imagine, going back to the daily routine can be strenuous on my blog. It’s been rough – can you imagine, in only four days, we started and completed the diffraction section in physics? *sigh*. So my blog might take a backseat until I can find the perfect balance. 
And since I’m not feeling very wordy today, please enjoy all the photos I took.
