Shopping. Shopping. Shopping.

Now that it's the holidays I've managed to go do a bit of clothes shopping.  Except that in the end I actually bought more shoes than clothes, but I think it's forgivable.  Everything is from Mr Price.

I have another pair of brown lace ups that are similar and I wear them all the time, so I decided it was time to invest in another pair.

I don't usually wear a lot of gold but I particularly liked the combination of it with the pale green colour.

Lastly I got this shirt.

I've been looking for a denim shirt for quite some time, so when I went shopping on Monday I was determined not to leave without one.  Unfortunately, because summer is starting, shops don't have any new winter stock and so all the shirt in the ladies section at Mr Price were the odds and ends- most of them being about three sizes to big for me.  And so came plan B.  Much to the embarrassment of my younger sister I marched into the mens section and came out triumphantly with the smallest one I could find.  I actually prefer this one to the women's ones that I saw as I felt that some of them were a bit 'over decorated'.

Also, thanks to Caitlin for being such an enthusiastic photographer;)

Bubblegum princess.

Last weekend whilst looking through our dress up box in search of old bits of fabric to use as head scarves I found myself looking at old fairy and princess outfits that last fitted me around 2003.  In particular I found a pale bubblegum blue chiffon number that I can remember often strut tin aground the house in when I was five.

Here it is.

Anyway I decided that I quite liked the fabric that the bottom part of the dress was made out of, so I gave it to my gran and viola! Now it's a skirt.

Attempting to recreate the pose.

The material is super floaty and as there is lot of it when I wore it I felt like a cross between a Disney Princess and one of the girls from the movie Grease all at once

This top belonged to my gran but recently found a new home in my cupboard.

These are some of my mom's old rings from her varsity days.

My sister helped me take these photos and, like in most things we do, we soon got distracted by the daisies in the garden and so these happened.....

Hello and welcome to my wardrobe.

Ah how I love shopping with birthday money... These are both from Mr Price, which I must admit really seems to have improved over the last couple months, having brought in a lot more stuff like this.

Denim get in my face.

So I know it's a little late to be saying this, seeing as though we have now left winter and are chugging straight towards another grossly hot summer (Boohoo, she cried),  but basically I'd love me a denim shirt like one of these from Asos.  Only, one maybe a little more within my budget? :(

Hello long weekend.

Yay for the four day weekend.  It's so cold and so my bed and I have a date.

Golden triangles.

Yesterday I finally got to see my friend Caitlin for the first time in what feels like an age.  We went what was supposed to be just window shopping, had a lovely dinner and went back to her house to watch old episodes of Big Bang Theory.  I really did mean to only window shop and stay away from buying but when I saw the collar tips on this shirt I simply couldn't help myself. I've been looking for something like this for ages, and anyway it was from Mr Price so it didn't make that much of a dent in my purse.

 

I also picked up this very cute little ring.

This is the last jersey I promise...

This morning I went to the I Heart Market at the Moses Mabhida Stadium with the family.  I love going down there once a month to nibble on macaroons and turkish flatbread and have a look at all the stunning second clothing stalls. This morning was even more lovely with the knowledge that my exams are all out of the way.  Anyway, seeing as though I seem to be going through a stage of wanting to buy anything and everything secondhand it's unusual for me to go to a market and leave without spending a large chunk of my pocket money.  This morning I outdid myself and left with a new clutch purse, button-up blouse and what I promised my mom to be 'the last jersey'.  It's not that I own hundreds of them, the sum total is now six, but seeing as though I live in Durban they're not really needed for the most part of the year- unless you plan on passing out after the first five minutes outside.  I'm clearly not supposed to be living somewhere so humid and hot.  Ah well, one day I guess...

My clutch.

 Button up blouse.  Please excuse the weird cropping out of heads and dozy facial expressions- I'm still trying to master my camera's self timer.

The cute little buttons.  Aaaaaand...

Taadaa! Eewie that's a bad picture. But sadly the best I can do for now.  But 'yaaay' for the jersey.
