Monochromatic dreams

 Hi guys.

So I've been trying to get back into the (fashion) swing of things because  I feel I have been playing things way too safe for the last few years.

Everything changed when I had my son. In my head I was still a skinny person and that's how I shopped for things. Not for my actual body. I would buy things with my skinny mentality and instantly regret it when  I finally  wore the clothes. It was a vicious cycle and it chipped away at my confidence. 

Over the last few years social media has opened my eyes to so many inspiring individuals. All different body types, all different aesthetics but, they all had one thing in common. They all were fearlessly themselves. I love those streetstyle  shots highlighting individual style and personalities and I have decided to take a few myself . I'm taking more risks now and worrying less and I wanted to document it so  that  I can look back every time a feel dull and uninspired. 

There is just something about monochromatic dressing that I am attracted to at the moment. I know these won't get me invited to NYFW anytime soon...but they make me so damn happy!

Everything I'm wearing is from Mr Price except the glasses. Those were a freebie with my favourite magazine. PS. I want to live in these shoes. 

TILL LATER, LAUREN! 

Denim and Stripes!

I don't like doing look posts. There are numerous reasons why but, the main one would probably be that I never feel like I look quite good enough to do a look post. I follow countless fashion bloggers and their look posts always set the bar so high that I often feel discouraged to do my own. 

Lately, I have had a change of heart however. Listen, I have realised that I will never be the bloggers that I idolise but, I need to give myself a little more credit. Sometimes I can actually look very put together. This particular outfit made me feel really feminine and sexy which is why I decided to share it. 

I don't wear jeans or shirts often because most of the time I am either in uniform or in sweatpants. I instantly fell in love with this shirt from Mr Price because I could literally think of a few ways to wear it. I decided to pair it with jeans (also from Mr Price) and these cute shoes from Woolies which I got on sale. The necklace is a gift and the glasses I stole from my person :) 

I look forward to seeing what other looks I can create with this shirt. Thank you for reading this post. What is your go to item at the moment? Let me know in the comment section. 

TILL LATER, LAUREN! 

 

The pants that stole my heart

Hey everyone!

I wasn't planning on sharing these pictures as part of a lookpost but I love the colour palette so much that I thought why not. I wore this outfit to run some errands the other day. For me, comfort is key. Now I hear you asking, who runs errands in heels? Let me tell you...these are by far the most comfortable heels I have ever worn.

I love wearing a body suit and I think that the waterfall cardigan softens the look and makes it slightly more casual. The material from the bodysuit and cardigan is super light weight and perfect for the warmer days.

These pants I got on sale at Legit and it was one of my best buys. It's got a bit of a stretchy legging feel to it but it is pleated in the front like chinos which gives it a more polished look. 

Everyone who knows me knows I am a sunglasses type of girl. These were my most recent purchase from The Fix (my favourite store at the moment ).  They have such nice things without having to break the bank. This was one of my favourite looks.

Thank you for taking the time to read. Drop me a comment with your blog link if you have one.

TILL LATER, LAUREN!
