Assumption is the mother of all... and so are habits

I have a really bad habit of assuming, perhaps it is one of the insecurities I have. My excuse is, I am a woman and we are natural instinctive creatures; always trying to put "two and two together" sometimes three and three. Another one of my bad habits is expecting other's to think like me when ironically I always tell people not to expect other's to think like them since we are all different.

This morning I got to thinking about bad dressing habits. You know the kind where people match everything. The thought birthed when I coincidently matched my undies with my top for the third time this week and I laughed at how ridiculous it looked. Fact is, head to toe matching is just bland, not exciting, very boring, whether you are wearing the finest threads and of course this is just my opinion. What does work like a bomb is black from head to toe, not the goth-like style but classic.

As I wrapped my scarf around my neck this morning I also got to thinking about how interesting texture is. How it somewhat seasons an ensemble effortlessly. Try breaking a plain outfit with a woolen scarf, chunky neckpiece, or a quilt bag, patterned blazer or tweed coat-it adds that little bit of depth that screams 'chic'.


Love randomness about this outfit

Whether oversized or cropped and tied, denim shirts are one of my favorite staples

Bombers are a must have this winter and so stylish

Love the fluffy clutch (notice-texture) and photographers waistcoat

The scarf definately makes this white vest and jeans combo

I want a pair...still no size for me at Mr.price and have not spotted it anywhere else :(

Love this layed back look, especially the red cardigan blazer with gold buttons

 Me this morning; the scarf was a super choice for today

 The white stockings, moroon and navy blazers, the pussybow blouse and chambray skirt: heart heart heart!!!



Hand me any emotion, but confusion. Feeling as confused as the weather today, and I know for a fact this is not a one day thing, but don't ask. I think it has got something to do with my space...my headspace, my heartspace, my physical space.

Lately I am seeing red...and green, mustard, navy, grey and cream, muddy brown, tan and black(of course)- my favourite colours this winter. See me hunting down items in those colours, mind you, I have already been succesful in finding a few.


Who would not want these??

 Faux fur and mustard: Beautiful

My Sunday Ensemble

Romantic Grunge: Mutilated denim and Lace

Pleated grey trousers, smart

Yummy Vanilla jeans

Chic cable knit

Do you sometimes eat really messy when no ones looking? have a really loud laugh? Just tie your hair up/leave it loose without having a comb through it for days(like I do)? or bite your nails for no reason at all, except that all these things come so naturally to you and truly make you who you are? That's great because you don't really care what people think because you aren't and never will be in their mind to see what they really think so who does care anyway?pffft.


A good friend once said: "Some people go around the world meeting people and trying to be like other's having never met themselves". Ever find yourself spending so much time with someone you start to talk like them?dress like them? even adopt their bad habits? STOP IT RIGHT NOW, because that's not very smart.


Embracing individuality has not come in a better form than in being a human being (a fashionable human being at that). We all have our different ways of embracing and showcasing our individuality and mine is through fashion (you guessed it) and many other things, but fashion being my main form of expression.

Below are a few pictures I've reblogged from my favorite blogs, Fashionfever, Cupcake Couture, Miss Milli, The Sartorialsit and The Mr.Price blog; all of which have inspired me and encourage me to keep on being loud and proud about ME (and my dress sense):)


I have a new found love for bow ties ("kitty bows" like my mom would call em)

A blazer adds that tot of class to any ensemble, loving this green and neutral combo with a dash of floral

Love the casual pop of colour

This is a winner, from the floppy hat to the leopard print and printed tee, anyone for some effortless style huh?

This is what everyday wear looks like-effortlessly stylish

Loving the cut of this dress, the print and the heeled veldskoene-clever
