Frock it!

Oh, yes “Frock” a very old English expression for a dress. Not often used today but I have heard it used callocally in the Caribbean or by older ladies of a different era. With a theatre performance to attend thought I ought to get a little dressed-up.

 

Dress-Target Maternity | Heels–Nine West | Bracelet–Charming Charlie| Watch-Burlington



 

You can never go wrong with a dress, colour blocked is an added bounce for a stylish look that is effortless. Adding a few bits and bobs very minimal (extremely comfy black heeled saddles, bracelet, watch, pearl knobs).................... voila all frocked up.  

 

Spin that record

Today was a running errands kind of day. With multiple activities lined up thought it best to be near the ground and as comfy as I could be.

 

Jumper -Kmart | Top -Gap |Jeans - Walmart | Shoes – Sams | Bag – Thrifted

 

One can never go wrong with comfortable flats. These babies are supper comfy as they are padded. Worn with basic jeans, tee, a jumper (sweater) doubling as an accent piece and a bit of warmth. I am not one for long necklaces but I got this record from Asos ages ago and I absolutely love it. All paired together effortless and truly comfy to face the day.

The Come Back

With an invite to a talent event I was rather smitten to explore my wardrobe for that fitting piece. There are a number of trends floating around at the moment; although I am not one to jump on the band wagon I am most excited about the black and white combo. With endless options at hand do I go with patterns or solids......hmmm which one?

 

 Blazer-Cato | Top -Dots |Skirt \ Heels - Thrifted | Clutch - Handcrafted

In the end my skirt was my guiding light to the rest of the outfit. It’s one of those pieces that are effortless chic and also complements my figure perfectly. With a black top and a white blazer it adds a stunning appeal. Accessorising with pops of colour: heels, arm candy, hair bow and clutch; creating an absolute stunning outfit.

Just, a little Aztec

Another gloriously hot weekend – having to hit the 9-5 thought it best to wear a number that could be easily converted to, ahem, “business attire”. Focal point being an appropriate top everything else can be converted……on the road. With that in mind:

I sprung the Aztec (used very loosely) top from Wallie world on the clearance sale – believe it was $2.00 needless to say a host in other colours were also collected. Paired with jeans shorts (swapped from Goodwill), two-tone wedges (Valley Thrift) and Sunny’s (Kroger believe it or not) for a fiver. Fits the perfect errand attire. Switch my short to a black skirt and throw a summer blazer over my top – I become converted for the 9-5.

Back Track

I am really not sure of the rest of the world but for myself I am absolutely loving the heat, personally I think it is far better to be too hot than, freezing cold. In the scorcher of the heat last weekend I had the opportunity to join a mate of mine for a b-day party at the water park. May I dear say what great fun it was; I absolutely had a blast, a flicker of my child summers instantly rushed back to me.

To take the weekend one step further we also had tickets to the race tracks. I love going to the races, horses are truly beautiful animals. Yet, again found memories came to mind as I remember enjoy riding when I was a little girl. Something you never really think about. Well galloping off to the tracks here's my outfit for a rather blistering and hot day.

 

My blue clutch makes yet another appearance, I am absolutely in love with it. One of my best accessories and necessities for the summer, it goes so well with everything. It was the perfect arm candy for khaki shorts and a vibrant top. Topped off with my deck  shoes I was certainly ready for the heat to come my way.  

Matinee’

What to expect when your expecting………………..Was not what I was expecting at all. Not meaning to spoil it for anyone, for me, it was not your hilariously (fall out your seat) RamCom. While having a fairly interesting storyline to captivate your interest it slightly dragged for a tad bite. Despite my view of the movie here is what I put together for the Matinee’. 

The top I scooped up in a sideline stall in Leeds Markets a few summers ago. Never knock the notion of purchasing apparel in the marketplace. With such a statement top I could have gone with black shorts for a classy casual look. However as I was being all the way casual I opted for jeans shorts, boat shoes (I really, really like my ‘decks’) and a statement clutch instead. Although, it is different shades of blue (top, short, shoes, clutch) with complementary colour accessories (green earrings, white bracelets, watch) it syncs all together making it a relaxing piece for a rather hot day.

A touch of gold

Ah yes, dinner parties –while great fun and usually bubbles of laughter. With really good mates it’s a grantee to have a great and wonderful evening. Some dinner parties setting clearly define the attire for the evening a house environment screams comfortable, outside of that either whispers classy/elegant or bellows posh-dosh. With no defined setting a hurricane of destruction passed through my closets with piles of clothes, hangers, and other bits and bobs left behind in its path. All on the base of wanting to wear the color “gold”, my motive to wear gold was not fueled by the need to give my new clutch a test run but rather the need to wear something that screamed classy, elegant, bold – a mellow tone between a whisper and a scream.

I know I wanted to be adorned in gold – I don’t know why, its not your typical pick of the mill. I don’t recall where I got this top – but not only was it the right colour but also the right style for an elegant comfy piece. Along with my ever so chic capri’s that has the illusion of a skirt, highlighted with black wedges along with my sleek looking clutch. The complete look was absolutely perfect for what I wanted to achieve.
