Happy YOU Year!!!



It’s a New year and a New YOU

Young Old United...2013

A new year has started and now we making all kinds of resolutions.  I think, that the only resolution is to start being YOU and not try being someone else.  So I have dedicated my 2013 Blogs to being authentically ME.  Cape Town’s “Trendy Capeflats Girl.”

Living in the 21st century and keeping up our traditional and/or cultural fashion can be very challenging. However, I promised to be ME and so, you can B.U too. I know that it is very challenging but the only way to get from A to Zee is doing it in baby steps and in a no time U. R. A for Away!!!

So this is my basic fashion steps.

I take a simple long dress and a pants with a matching scarf. This is how I look the traditional way.  I know ... I know many of you don’t want to look like this.


So now I will take these few accessories.....
  • Colour head band
  • Some interesting earings
  • A choker/chain that complements the earings
  • A belt that will take the colour of your pants and head band
  • Some comfortable shoes to match your dress/bag
  • Add some sunglasses mixed with some serious confidence and attitude

 
A touch of eye-liner, mascara and a lipstick to finish off your complete look. Don't forget the sunglasses...lol :-)

 For an interesting look in the scarf design use the fringe to add character and style.


For the modest model drape the scarf over the head and around to cover the neck line. Be daring and use your scarf in various ways not just the conventional way.  Now you are ready to be the first class version of yourself rather than a second class imitations of someone else.

Go on....... B.U.
