Playing with polkadots!

So this is the second part of my “Mixed Prints” post… however this ended up  being the first part of my youtube video uploads (confusing much?)
This time I want to show you how you can go about mixing polka dots. I seriously adore the polka dots. Stripes and Polkadots are probably the most classic of all prints and if you’re new to prints, invest in these pieces. You can easily mix them with other prints, textures, bold colours - the styling options are endless.
Here I’m showing you how you can go day to night with the same top (actually a dress). I’ve only shown you two pieces, but you can wear a nice pair of leather pants with it, high waisted shorts, midi-skirt - I kid you not, they will just about go with anything. Polkadots also come in all sorts of apparel - dresses, skirts, pants; and of course they come in all sorts of sizes (big polkadots and small polka dots), and different colours!
Dont be afraid to be bold and try to put together different pieces that you dont think will naturally work together. Find a way of tidying the look together with common ground - eg: colours/similar hues, similar accents/theme. Again, if all else fails, mixing prints together with a neutral colour palette ALWAYS works đŸ˜€

PS - I apologise for my awful state. Hair Styling wise, I would have curled my hair with a side part and all of the curls falling to the side đŸ™‚
Anyways, sorry again for the unedited pictures. So lazy. I didnt even bother to crop them (naughty me). But hope you guys enjoy nonetheless, and if you’re a visual person, dont forget to check out my youtube video on it! đŸ˜€

Reuse, reduce, recyle!

Hi everyone so I thought I’d do another outfit blog post. Now this was actually a previous outfit - taken the same day as my first outfit post. But I wanted to put this up because of the back story - this is actually a sneek peak of an upcoming lookbook. Unfortunately I have been blessed with a very tempermental Windows Movie Maker which freezes everytime I’ve tried to edit this lookbook. I’m not sure if it’s the files because I tried to edit another video and it worked fine. Anyways, I’ve taken a break from it because it’s been frustrating me and taking up too much time.

So here’s a shot of one of the outfits for as an apology. I was hoping to actually put this up when I finished editing the lookbook, but patience is a virtue I’m afraid.

ANYWAYS, so in this look I’m featuring the same shirt as my first Outfit post, just to show how versatile it is. I love the monochromatic look as most of you should be aware already, and grey has never done me wrong. It’s such a neutral basic colour that you can absolutely add to. A lovely bright pink lipstick would work wonderfully here or replace the grey bag with a nice bright clutch and you’re great. However I also dont mind just keeping it quite muted in colour given the bold statement shorts I’m wearing.

Well, I’m sure you just want to skip to the photos… so here they are:
