So what am I wearing today?
Well let’s start with my boyfriend jeans; it’s the perfect staple for anyone who doesn’t like tight fitting jeans (even though I still have skinnies and Jeggings lol). Why is this trend so versatile? Because you are able to wear tops that aren’t that long without really showing shape because the jeans are baggy.
Where can one find boyfriend jeans? Well almost anywhere, the ones I have on are from Woolworths, its not the cheapest “no name brand” but it’s the most comfortable jeans EVER! The price if you may ask? R325.00 not to bad hey if you want quality.
What does this look like? Please see picture below
So my next item I am wearing is a double breasted black blazer, this is an item you can definitely splurge on because it will never go out, it comes and goes and for years I had a couple of good blazers which I still wear, the one I am wearing I must admit is an extremely cheap buy but looks so gooooood. I got it at Choice Clothing, a factory shop many of my girlfriends no about and you will never guess the price, R60.00!!!!! The problem with factory shops is you need to dig and look but luckily I am good at that.
So what does this blazer look like? Please see the picture below.
Next on my list is my longer length red silk shirt, I wouldn’t say this is a key trend to have but I had this shirt for like 3 years and thought it will look good under the blazer, I find that my longer length shirts are quite versatile in the sense that I can wear it out over jeans/pants or tucked in wide legged pants or skirts so getting rid of that is a big no no. So where did I get my shirt from? At Edgars for about R199.00 haven’t since these shirts again there but I’m sure you can find it anywhere else.
Please see picture below to get an idea of mine looks like.
Now we come to my favourite part of my look, my shoes. I’m wearing brown flat ankle boots with laces, I wanted to wear something comfortable because of the amount of running around I do and I thought it will look quite cool with the bagginess of my jeans. The boots I have on is an old style, but still very comfortable. Where did I get it from? HQ, was about R160.00 very cheap, I wasn’t going to spend a lot on these because it is a trend that I knew wasn’t going to last, oh this boot is bought last year so I don’t think you will find it there again.
Please see picture below, its almost identical to the ones I have on.
And now to complete the outfit, my scarf and accessories, I’m wearing huge gold chucky bangles and one hug ring on my right hand and a brown printed leopard skin scarf. I must admit I feel naked without jewellery, without it my clothes feel incomplete. I’m wearing my scarf the “Arab style” it kind of makes the outfit a bit more sophisticated also it keeping me very warm on this chily day.
Here’s a picture on the type of accessories I am wearing today, oh yes and the ring you see is the exact one I have......hehe
Hope this little rant about my outfit I am wearing today help inspires those who are trying to cover up while wearing there hijab and for those who is just looking for a little motivation on how to put things together.
Enjoy
