When I say shopping, what I mean is calling up favourite local designers and chatting about what I want and then miraculously it appears, dropped off at work two days before I fly up to Joburg. Or not.
One small, unavoidable hiccup necessitated a trip to the Waterfront on the weekend. Let me tell you the results of this shopping...
On the four nights of fashion week, I will be dressed as follows:
1. Gorgeous black velvet studded dress and leggings by August (with Jimmy Choo ballet pumps) — see pic above from Africhic.com
2. Old faithful black dress by David West (with brogues by Kate&Allie)
3. Sumptuous black velvet dress from Trenery (with tights and pumps)
4. Woolies peg leg trousers (2 years old), brogues (as above), Gap long sleeve tee (ancient) and the most wonderfully flirtatious black silk cape from Twist that I bought at the weekend. Love it. Oh, and I may add a neck piece to this.
During the day I will wear khaki roll-up trousers or black skinny jeans with the checked shirt tunic from August — which I also had made in denim and it is AWESOME.
