Claudz read my mind when she did a post HERE about her need for fashion help.
Just last week I sat chatting to Lizette about how we need to update our look without having to re-kit our entire wardrobe.
Clothes are simply becoming too expensive and we can't afford to buy a new outfit everytime the fashion changes.
With me trying to get out of my ever-increasing debt, I really can't afford to buy new clothes.
Here in South Africa we have a great chain of clothing store called Mr Price. They sell trendy clothes at really great prices. The quality is average, but beggars are definitely not choosers!
As I told Claudz - I am with her on her new fashion adventure and I am attempting to be fashionable, inexpensively.
While I was packing my winter clothes away and unpacking my summer clothes I realised that with all the weight I have picked up I dont have many clothes that fit me anymore.
I have bought 2 new tops - total cost: R160
1 x pink spaghetti type top with silver sparkly buttons.
1 x white and beige striped tank top with gold butterfly picture.
Lets see how far I can make these go with my existing clothes.
Today is Casual Day in SA - the theme was Fun/crazy.
Our whole admin office dressed up and it was alot of fun mixed with feather boas, crazy devil horns, green wigs and slippers.
My normal outfit:
Clothes: Long tiered chocolate brown skirt, white and beige tank top, dark brown pumps
Accessories: Long gold circle necklace, brown circle earrings, brown bead bracelet and skinny brown scarf.
Result - I am quite happy with it.
i also think that there is just so much going on in the fashion world that I have fashion ADD...so many good trends happening and they change so fast that I barely have time to grab on to one i like!
ReplyDeleteFashion can be utterly overwhelming. I am still wearing jeans and hoodies but frankly I love my relaxed look. I am happy to bring out the BLing Bling when I need to but I CANNOT reinvent the wheel every blerry morning.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about accessories - they totally rev / or tone down and outfit.

Forward we go into the Fashion unknown!!
