Don't we all though? We'll keep making mistakes no matter how much we learn so we might as well dress chic because that's something we have complete control over, hehe. Lately I've been going to concerts, visiting my cousin/partner in crime in Joburg and making moodboards. Every month I write up a to-do list of personal and work-oriented goals and put it on my fridge. I love crossing things off and it's a great way to keep track of everything. I've already got some new goals for March and I'm looking forward to them.
I recently had the best Valentine's day. I don't believe in putting pressure on a single date but I really had an amazing day. I went to the Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street and watched Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet with a picnic of popcorn, french loaf and champagne. If you ever want to do something great for Valentine's then I highly recommend it, it was already booked up when I emailed them but luckily for me they had a cancellation. So book early next year if you remember. Better yet, write it on your long to-do list! Have a great weekend :)
Unif is killing it. I seriously get discouraged by the amount of beautiful clothing out there when I think about contributing. These coats are what my dreams are made of. 70s love child vs Elvira pajamas. I can't choose but I seriously think I need one in my wardrobe. Fashion is the only thing that has me warming up to Winter.
I tried my ball gown on and it fits like a glove! If the theme wasn't Venetian, I would have done something more modern and wearable but I stayed true to the research and did an elegant old V-shape. I can't actually believe that I made this, it just hasn't sunk in, especially how real it seems now that I've seen it on myself. I haven't gotten a chance to hem it yet but here are some pics:
Here is the ball gown I made from start to finish!
