Fashion vs Nature

Day 26

This is my last shoot in Windhoek, before I head out :)

Sooo, had to take some pictures in the main road. I was walking in Independence Avenue and this made me happy because I knew I had to end here. 

I complete the shoots in Windhoek, until I get back again :)

The outfit I chose for this location was very casual, so I really didn't want to be trapped inside, wearing heels and a bootleg/hipster jeans...I just couldn't, so here it is.

I felt like someone from the 70's :D , was actually a really fun shoot.

Location: Independence Avenue and the Parliament

Jewellery by NamiPend

 Quick tip

This outfit can be worn by all body types, because the hips, waist, shoulder and all imperfections are hidden. Any type of throw over, cloak, blazer, coat or cloak thrown over and is long enough to cover the hips will hide everything that you need to hide.

My experience

To be honest, I haven't been to the parliament and/or parliament gardens in such a long time, so this was really nice and my own little reconnection to Windhoek. 

Was a really chilled time in town. I managed to take pictures in the street without problems, so this was enjoyable and as I'm closing Windhoek's chapter for the time being..I had to end it on a good note (somewhere recognized by all inhabitants of Windhoek)

Day 25

I realized that I don't have a young, youthful type of look, so I made this dress :)

The location to be honest is beautiful, was trying to find the right location and then I remembered this place ;) It's amazing how an outfit can change the mood of a person because, I really felt youthful in this outfit :)

Quick tip

This shirt dress can be worn by all figures. If you want to break it with a belt or not, it will work either way, although once a belt it applied and placed on the smallest part of the torso, it will sit perfectly, not showing any imperfections. 

My experience

This was a fun shoot, think the outfit was to blame. Once clothes hug your body too much, it just starts getting uncomfortable, so this was just a perfect shoot for a chilled afternoon. 

I love this place, the Namibian inspired decor makes this venue truly Namibian, soo I had no choice but to take pictures here for a taste of Namibia.

Day 20

This shoot was a bit more serious than all the other shoots, so had to dress the part.
Will have 4 more posts proceeding this one, as it was the same shoot, just different pieces that will be shown, so the dress and scenery will be today's focus, so that I can explain and give tips, because the next posts will be more about the items that I will be revealing :), so no tips in the next 4 posts coming after this one.

The dress wasn't overpowering as I had to dim the lights on me so that the focus will be on the items I will be showing you.

Quick tip

This dress is suitable for an hourglass and inverted-triangle figure. All slender figured ladies will be able to wear a dress like this. It's pretty fitted, so all imperfections will be spotted immediately, therefore I would not recommend this outfit to any other figure. 

My experience

The view was amazing. I was a bit nervous because I was standing on a rocky area and the edge was pretty steep, so had to focus on the right poses :) steady movements, but wouldn't have found this location if I didn't hunt for some secret tracks. It's beautiful and there are soo many open spaces, it's crazy..let's give Namibia a few more years ;)

Day 19

I had to take pictures at this location, had a relaxed dress for the venue, so decided why not..

I chose this dress because it was a thursday morning, so didn't want to be overdressed.

So, when you're having a lazy day and still want to look good- this is more what I would call a lazy outfit :)

Location: News cafe, Windhoek

 

 
 

 Quick tip

This maxidress is suitable for an hourglass, inverted-triangle and a pear-shaped figure. The waist area is being emphasized, taking attention off the shoulders or hips. An apple shaped figure can wear a dress like this when it is full flared from the bust down, not emphasizing the waist at all and that's what we want ;)

My experience

I love going to News cafe and the food is amazingggg, so just had to take pictures here :) 

I had soo much fun and felt very relaxed doing this shoot. The people were amazing and helpful. I really just felt at home and now with the new menu <3

News cafe has a different vibe and very relaxed atmosphere, so I could relate and just enjoy the shoot ;)

Quick tip

Peplum

Quick tip

The idea of the Peplum...hmmm, sooo it can be a blessing for making the body look curvy at the midriff. Peplum narrows the waist down to give it a narrower look and when it flares out it creates a nice curve. Peplum is suitable for people who are very slim, just to add some curves to their body 

Although anything with confidence can make you look fashionable.

When you do, however, have enough hips wearing a peplum top/blazer/jacket will not necessarily hide your hips but make it more evident, unless the frills cover the hip area.

Quick tip

Black on black on black

Quick tip

Black works for everyone.

It is a classic color for clothes, possibly because it makes you appear thinner and more sophisticated. It is the most flattering of colors and very chic. 

You can never go wrong with black.

Simplicity is elegant ;)

This applies to ALL body types...Although black can bring out dark circles under your eyes and lines or make you look older than you really are, so when close to face, add some color to neutralize it, that's if you don't have a warm skin tone ;)

Day 18

I promised the pear-shaped figures their skirt, so this shoot was literally 7 minutes max, just for you :)

Soooo, venue was chosen due to the outfit, pretty self-explanatory once you see the outfit.
Really chilled vibe, just had to get out of the blazing sun today, so couldn't be outside, hence... I'm trapped indoors.

Location: Bolster restaurant

Quick tip

This is perfect for a pear-, hourglass and inverted-triangle shaped figure. An apple shaped will have to place the skirt by the smallest part of the torso to have the best look, then this outfit will work perfectly. 

This is truly an ideal skirt for a pear shaped figure, because those hips can't even try to real themselves. 

My experience

Well, I don't normally wear skirts like these often, but I had to show the ladies as I promised yesterday that I will. Need to show a bit of everything, so had a fun day with this skirt on. Also, it called attention somehow. This outfit is elegant and discreet. I could literally run and dance, not afraid anything would fall out or be revealed, so this is a happy outfit, for me at least :D 

Bolster was the perfect venue for this outfit, felt like this outfit just worked here. I was dressed the part when I walked in ;)
