Casual Fashion Friday

I am in the throes of getting myself sorted for going away and thinking about what to pack for our summer holiday. All I want to pack are dresses, shorts and T-shirts but then we have weather like today and I realise I do need a few warmer options!

The thing about fashion is it does not always have to be over the top! Paired down casual fashion definitely has its place. Denim jeans are a casual staple of mine and I have lost count of how many different pairs I own. The most important thing about a pair of jeans is the fit – get that right and you have a friend for life!

I love rather casual but still very chic look, which Oliva Palmero has put together, in the top image. It is very simple really, all you need are a pair of skinny jeans, a casual shirt, a slouchy jumper and ballet flats. There is also nothing nicer than a great pair of jeans, with a long white T or linen shirt! Those items will definitely be on my packing list!

Today’s Fashion Friday is all about polka dots. I am loving this trend, from elegant black and white, to pretty coral and white dots. There are so many ways to wear polka dots, it is a fun way to dress for summer – you can opt for a dotty summer dress or a sheer dotty blouse, paired with shorts or jeans. I do think that it is one of those trends where less is more, so keep it simple and stylish and do not over do the dots!

Fashion Friday

It tis the season to be merry and the time of year end functions and Christmas parties galore! Well, with this in mind, I thought for Fashion Friday this week I would explore an alternative to the LBD, not everyone likes to wear a dress and black trousers can be such an elegant alternative.

Team a fitted pair of black or charcoal cigar pants with a sequined vest and a fitted black jacket and you can create a look fit for any occasion. Tuxedo jackets are super trendy at the moment and so versatile. You can wear them as part of a smart evening ensemble or with a pair of jeans and a T during the day for a more casual effect. An alternative to a jacket paired with black trousers, is to wear a bustier or tunic over your trousers, as seen in the image above of Emma Watson. A peplum top would also add a bit of flirty fun to a pair of tailored trousers.

As with all outfits accessories are so important to complete your look, you can keep it simple and opt for a black sequined clutch or go for something a bit more funky in a bright or neon colour. Shoes can also add a bit more piazza to your whole look, there is nothing wrong with a bit of bling or if you want to tone your whole look down nude heels would be perfect too.

To create a similar look you can shop Style36.co.za or Zando on-line for similar jackets and trousers or outlets such as Mango, Country Road or Zara have a wonderful ranges.

Neon and bright colours are super trendy at the moment. You can wear accessories to give an outfit a punch of colour or go all out and wear the bold trend from head to toe, depending on how brave you are! This trend is definitely reminiscent of the 80’s and 90’s, all you need to do is picture the Wham hit Wake Me Up (yes I am probably showing my age!).

Here are a few ways that I have worn the trend, as I mentioned you can accessorise with colour – fun neon jewellery, a bright clutch or bright bold make-up and nail polish if you are not keen to go all out.

The Black & White Dress above is from Woolworths and the Chevron Stripped Grey and Neon Yellow is from YDE. All the bangles are from the new Cotton On store in Canal Walk and the chunky ring is from Accessorize.
