IF IN DOUBT WEAR BLACK

As much as I love the beautiful weather I'm glad Its temporarily over. How is it that you leave the house looking like Beyoncé straight out of the Pepsi commercial then comeback sweating like a buffalo that just jogged through the Sahara desert during a sand storm and was sat on by a camel.

It's really not a good look.

Anywho onto todays outfit post. 

 

 

Todays outfit post was inspired in part by a dear friend of mine who has a great appreciation for all things black and monochrome. Black is a versatile colour that can be both dressed up and dressed down with some carefully chosen accessories.



 

I paired a black top from Primark with black jean from Zara and added a bright blue swede pair of heels from internacionale.

 

 

To mix it up a bit I added a H&M blazer with black lapels to tie in with the all black everything theme of the outfit.

 

Before signing off today I want to leave you with this quote.

 

"Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are not little things"

Bruce Burton.

 

I had the pleasure of listening to a message today regarding the small things in life and the breakthroughs they can bring.

The speaker used the example of Richard Branson who started with what some would call a "small" student paper that has now expanded into a global business empire.

 

I'm sure many people told him he was wasting his time and discouraged him but he was enthusiastic and persistent.

The point I'm trying to make is that whatever skills or whatever idea that you have do not see it as something small.

 

Everything and everyone has potential. Let no one tell you that what you are doing is small or insignificant. There is a purpose and a time for everything.

 

Success is like a house, before you build it you must develop the foundations.

Be faithful in the small opportunities and you shall reap larger rewards.

 

Until Next Time

XOXO



Go bright or Go home

I have forever been a huge follower of the go bright or go home movement. For those of you who aren't familiar with this, it's basically throwing on the brightest colours you can find in your wardrobe and getting your Naomi Campbell on for the masses. You'll be amazed to see how wearing bright colours can significantly improve your mood. I'm sure its scientifically proven (don't quote me on that).

 

                         

I discovered this bright yellow top after a faithful trip to the Zara sale which included a possibly dislocated shoulder from trying on their supposed "medium" sized dress and almost giving myself a concussion trying to crawl out of it. Yes crawl and lost a braid in the process. Even so, I still love me some Zara and my bank account suffers immensely because of this.

 

 

Despite my ordeal I settled on this brightly coloured yellow top which I paired with some high-waist Joni Jeans from Topshop and shoes from next.

 

let me take this moment to profess my love for the Topshop Joni jeans which have now become a staple in my wardrobe. If like me you have experienced the dreaded "fits at the hips, gapes at the waist" Joni jeans/Topshop jeans may be the answer to your problems.

The fit of the Joni jean is phenomenal and time permitting when my bank account stops mocking me and doing as it wishes I may invest in more pairs.



Hope your week has been beautiful.

Until Next Time
