Nautical First Attempt - Palesa Mahlaba

Hey guys!!!

 

Enjoying your Saturday so far??? Mine has been decent - I even had time for thrifting some accessories :)

 

As I promised from my previous posts - this is one of the posts that have delayed being posted. This specific post was an attempt to recreate Palesa Mahlaba's Outfit (True Love Magazine Editor) which I tried out with another dress here!!!! 

 

I love the nautical or sailor inspired looks and I think ill be rocking them mostly this summer. As a plus size woman I think both my efforts are awesome and highly current and trendy. Yes, I love and believe in my style. Its fun, edgy, eclectic, quirky and super modern at times and vintagy!!! I am a mix of everything depending on my mood of cause :) Enough already about my style, lol!!!

 

Dig in folks and go nautical crazy this summer :)

OOTD: Nautical Sunday

Hello my Fab Sista's

 

Last Sunday I came across Palesa's Outfit on Instagram and instantly fell inlove. I instantly challenged myself to replicate her look. I even left a comment on her IG that I'll give it a go.

 

On Monday when going to work the weather was cold and raining so I managed to replicate this outfit as I was eager to try it out but could only take pictures inside my office. At the end of the day, I was unsatisfied with the quality of my pictures and the dress I wore was a bit longer - my goal was really not achieved on this day.

 

I told myself I am not resting until I get this challenge right. Today, I think I got it right even though I am not wearing big blocked striped dress same as hers - for me: this is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED kinda moment :)

 

The message I am trying to relay on this post is that all of us need to be inspired by each other, NO MATTER THE SIZE. Plus Size ladies need to stop being negative and bitter when seeing a normally sized individual killing it on the streets instead lets be inspired to try things out and see how far we can go challenging ourselves to getting closer to the outfit of inspiration. 

 

The truth is that we can never look the same as the people who inspire us but can look better FOR US because the challenge is for us, by us and about us #nopressurePLEASE :) We are all beautiful!!! 

 

Palesa looks amazing on this nautically inspired outfit and OFCOZ, so is myself :) I feel satisfied with what I did for this challenge. I got inspired and I brought in my own flavour :)

 

What do you think???

Tropical Punch

  Afternoon, Ladies!!!

 

Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday.

 

There is not much story behind todays post, I am just sharing one of last weeks outfits worn at work on a chilly day. Just woke up on this day feeling happy. Due to that I ended up mixing all these colourful items together and whoallaaaa, I had this tropical punch outfit, hehehehehe!!! Really, who said we cant wear colourful clothes in winter? My outfit is a testimony that we can brighten up the gloomy winter by wearing any colourful clothes!!!

 

My outfits are always playful and full of colour and I just love that because they are a reflection of myself on many levels. Bought my Juicy Couture bag in 2011 to carry my school books and right now I am definitely carrying it to work throwing in everything you can think of - for example I carry my iPad, Laptop, diary, makeup bag and other things ladies throw in their bag - fortunately this bag is big enough to handle all this craziness :)

 

I have been thrifting lately and my outfits posts are bound to have a thing or two from the thrift store. For example on this post my colourful Marks and Spencer cardigan has been thrifted a week ago and loved it the minute I laid eyes on it. It feels good to look great and be complimented on items that cost close to nothing compared to fully price new items. That inspires me to get more, I am telling you :)

 

Do you ever thrift? What is your recent thrifted item? Have you posted anything on your blog about it so we can check it out??? If yes, please leave your blog link alongside with your feedback so we can check it.
