Curves Around the World: Casino Night



 

Hey, guys!!!

 

This weeks theme for Curves Around the World is "Night At the Casino".

 

I have gone to a Casino before but is not at all my hangout place.

I don't like casino's due to the gambling taking place there. I feel like they are just bad institutions tricking people to lose their money for their benefit. They are psychologically disastrous especially to those addicted and can kill such individuals and/or  wreck their lives or families.

 

Moreover, casinos promote a lot of drug use and prostitution. Call me boring and/or paranoid, I HATE CASINO's with PASSION :)

I am sorry but they really can be unethical!!!

 

 When I went to the casino people were dressed to the nines and I also dressed up not knowing what to expect but if id go again in future (what for? I really don't know) id ensure I am dressed comfortably and not formal at all - just a comfy clean look.
In that case, I think this outfit would be suitable. Going to the casino doesn't qualify for any of my glam outfits. Id rather save them for ice skating, lol :) 

So, this is my Casino Night Look - qualified??? Definately qualifies :)

Curves Around The World: Royal Blue

Hey, Guys!!!

 

Its that time of the week for Curves Around the World themed outfits - I hope you are ready for this weeks theme ROYAL BLUE!!!

 

This colour is a new black currently from all over the world. Everywhere when you turn your head, there is a royal blue worn. Last Year I have created some royal blue outfits and I have included some of them below for you to see how I have rocked them.

 

For this post I decided to wear a thrifted dress with some accents of royal blue instead of going all out.

 

For this look, I took the pictures when it started raining outside and I completely enjoyed the moment even though I was worried that my phone would get wet.  Thank God, nothing happened: Ntembi did magic to avoid that from occuring.

 

Are you a lover of Royal Blue just like me? What colours do you like mixing it with? I love mixing with other lighter blues. I love my previous looks as well as the one im posting tonight. Your views on them please :)

Curves Around The World: GRUNGE

Good Evening my Fabulous Friends!!!

 

Its been a very long time since I last posted this is due to travelling I embarked on during this festive season and coming back to work. I think I have settled in not to miss any posts as this post is overdue and I apologise for the lack of consistency.

 

This posts theme is GRUNGE and if you were born before OR during 80s you will remember this kind of style as we wore many flannel shirts and doctor marten boots to spice up this look.

 

Many confuse punk with grunge forgetting that “Punk was antifashion,” and therefore was there to make a statement. Grunge was not about making a statement, which is why it’s crazy for it to have become a fashion statement. I am glad it did though, lol :)

 

The year fashion co-opted grunge in 1993 - Jean Paul Gaultier told Vogue  - grunge is nothing more than the way we dress when we have no money and that grunge has grown from the raw, messy scene surrounding the raw, messy sound—produced by a bedraggled pack of flannel-clad Pacific Northwest dropouts—that was suddenly the talk of the fashion establishment.

 

In my higher primary an high school GRUNGE was my staple fashion style and when looking around these days grunge is more polished up than before and that's the route I took for my outfit tonight. I think id call it Modernised Grunge or Grunge Chic ok, what ever relevant name you can give it. I am sure you get what I am trying to say here.

 

Now that you are probably in your 30s would you probably try this childhood fashion??? I like playing with my clothes and exploring styles and I think I can get used to this style on daily basis - pity I work in a serious environment :(

 

Whats your view on GRUNGE??? 

 

Dress: Edgars

Denim Vest: DIY from Mr Price Jacket

Shoes: Zando Online (Converse:All Star)

Sunglasses (Tom Ford): Sunglass Hut

Earing: Present from Pumla my besties

Bracelets: Pep Stores

Watch: American Swiss

Curves Around The World: DIY

Hello, Friends :)

 

Its 2014, yes 2014 and I hope you all have landed safely in this new year! I am still on holiday at my mom's place and it is still very nice to be away from work and just be busy with family and holiday matters.

 

This is the first post of Curves Around the World this year and the theme is DIY. Ever since our list completion for this round I have been very excited with this theme which was chosen by Nina my mate from our group. This happiness was stemming from the fact that I always tailor my items to fit me the way I need and therefore that means - most of my outfits are practically DIYed to suit my unique figure, lol :) 

 

For this outfit - I am wearing a Boob Tube Dress which I worked on to have sleeves as the top hem was not tight enough to stay fixed in one place and for this I used a belt that came with the dress.

 For the purpose of this theme, I am showcasing how I have turned a recently bought shirt into a vest and also show how I have ensembled an outfit with this repurposed shirt. 

 

I love DIY projects because they allow me to be creative and have unique and interesting items. My DIY love extends to accessories as well. I love changing the ones I already own into something special for example, giving an ordinary bangle a new life by wrapping it in a fresh and colourful print that can be re peeled into original state of the bangle in future when one is tired of that print cover.

 

I like simple projects as I don't really have ample time to be exploring complicated ones.

 

How far do you go with DIY Projects??? Love them just like me? What is your latest creation?
