Its all in the necklace

 

This was my #ootd yesterday to visit the parentals. I took these pics without wearing the little bit of make up that I usually do wear, hence the very bland face lol. Sometimes my skin just needs a break (especially since I’ve been wearing make up a bit more often than usual lately) and yesterday was the perfect day to rock the “minimalist” look lol

 Do you just love the statement necklace? I went to “browse” the sale section at Lovisa and happened to spot this gorgeous necklace which unfortunately was not on sale. I did the “puppy eyes” thing I usually do when I’m hoping Le husband says “just buy it” which he did of course lol. Gotta love Le husband!

I know that I have been over blogging this bag recently. Can you blame me? Its gorge and goes with everything! You'll probably see it in my next work wear post. LOL!

Timbs, a sweater & a welcome to March

Hello lovies

I can’t believe it’s March already! We welcomed the year 2013 what seems like just yesterday & I already feel the pressure of not crossing enough items off my 2013 goals list. I really need to get a move on.

 

Instead of dwelling too much on my outfit, I thought it would be appropriate to share what’s been going on in my world recently. If you follow me on twitter, you will know that I started a new job on Friday. Although I’m very nervous about being WAY out of my comfort zone, I am very excited about this new career opportunity and its endless possibilities. Two days in & already I feel like I’ve found where I belong. Don’t get me wrong, I usually hate the first 2 or 3 months in a new role because I always put myself under immense pressure to learn everything there is to know about the position, in record time. This role is no different, but my future self has already assured me that I’ll fit in. The most flattering part thus far? Being mistaken for the new graduate on the graduates programme! Oh, and I also received a shout out on ujfm wishing me luck for my first day. Perks of being friends with the host LOL!

 

 

Onto my very plain outfit... What more can I say except that it was a bit overcast and I only left home to get last minute birthday gifts (which I still haven’t given out as yet... oops!) I don’t know about you but if I’m not going to get a FULL DAYS wear out of my outfit, I don’t make much of an effort.... I will however be sharing a few work wear posts in the next few weeks to come so you may not hear (or read) about how bored I am with certain casual looks. (Don’t jump for joy just yet... I said 'may not'... LOL)

Casual coral

This was my ootd on Sunday to adventure golf with my love. The weather kept changing (sunny to overcast) so I decided on a blazer just to be certain. I teamed this blazer up with a coral skinny and a plain white tee to keep the casual theme going. Not one of my best looks so I definitely need to turn things up a notch in future posts :)

I’ve become a bit bored with the odd length of my hair so I’m trying to find new ways of styling it until it grows to a decent length. I pinned it up into a bun in the evening just to change the look up a bit. Got a thumbs up from my Mr but I’m not quite sure how I feel about it.

Girly girl

This was my ootd on Saturday. I felt like looking a bit girly and insisted on wearing these cute wedges that I found at the Sandton side walk sale. I love the little bits of coral detail (I’m a sucker for ALL things coral) and how comfortable these shoes are. They go with almost any day outfit so you will definitely see them feature in future posts. What do you think of the ribbon tied as a bow? I use ribbon whenever I can find a suitable accessory. (Remember my revamped brogues post I did here? Basic ribbon can be a life saver!)

Monochrome

I wore this “monochrome” outfit on Saturday but I’m not really sure how I feel about it. I do love this skirt though and it hasn’t always been black. After countless outfit attempts, the grey meets khaki colour just didn’t work for me and since I didn’t have a black maxi, I decided to dye it black. I am quite tall so finding a maxi that falls to the ground can be quite difficult to find. I couldn’t let a perfectly good skirt go to waste just because the colour wasn’t flattering.

I got this statement neck accessory at the Sass Diva Sale. I had looked at it numerous times before the sale but the shopping forces were totally against the original price. When I saw it hanging under a BIG RED SALE sign, I immediately got the stamp of approval.
