Fashion vs Nature

Day 37

I have a close friend who stays in Welkom and she made me make a dress just so she can show me her photography skills. Ended up making this dress in a day,  just so she can be happy.

This ended up wayyy different from what I had expected, I never laughed so much during any of my shoots before- this was just a crazy. Sooo, design and photos taken by my special friend :)

Location: lost in Welkom

Quick tip:

This dress can be worn by all body types. It is busy at the top, so attention won't be at the shoulders or at the waistline. Also, the A-line bottom is perfect for the pear-shaped figure. If you have some imperfections, this dress will hide it well. If you have a small waist, you can add a belt or any embellishment to the waistline to call attention to that area.

My experience:

As this shoot wasn't planned at all, I had loads of fun just going out into the bushes and just not caring whether the hem of the dress got dirty or not. Even the soil was different, I really liked being outside and it showed in these pictures. Really had fun and felt reconnected with nature again <3

Day 30

This mini shoot was at a beautiful door that I thought was fitting for the outfit I had in mind..

I wasn't really planning this, because here if you just find something nice, the chances of you finding it again is so rare..so I had to wake up really early to get a few shots in before sunrise.

Location: Sanur, Bali

                              

                 
                            

Quick tip

Any type of silk/satin fabric when fitted to the body, will unfortunately expose any type of imperfection you might have. If you are an hourglass, inverted-triangle or a rectangular shaped figure, this dress will suit you perfectly. However, if you are those shapes but still have some kind of imperfection anywhere, rather avoid wearing such fabrics when it's body fitting. Anything loose will make any lady look feminine and that is the plan. Will organise something more fitting for other figures soon.

My experience

I woke up at 6am to take these pictures and that time it was already very hot, so as you can see in the pictures, I am glowing a bit..also, have some highlight on but I had to do this as fast as possible because it was extremely humid. It was fun, felt more relaxed and chilled, also because I didn't have to move much :)

I loved the colour of the door, so knew this outfit would work here and make it look more chilled because to be honest this outfit should be worn as evening wear somewhere at a restaurant, but the setting changed the whole feel of it and that was the plan:)

Day 28

I did a bit of sight-seeing, like I've been doing everyday these days :)

Had to put away the fancy long skirts as I had to sit on a motorbike for not less than 1 and a half hours, so everything these days are more casual and relaxed for beach vibes.

I had to get dressed in a minute, so outfit wasn't really thought through because I didn't know where I was going, but nonetheless..had to get dressed just to leave the house :D

Location: Bali center

                           

Quick tip

This outfit can be worn by all body types, as my skirt wasn't too tight (extreme weight loss in this heat) a pear shaped would fit it and it would sit perfectly. As the top isn't tight, an apple shaped figure will make this outfit work too. This outfit will work on all figures because nothing is really emphasized.

My experience

I actually didn't have an idea where I'll be going today, so was chilled. Main concern was not getting hot, so anything that wasn't tight on my body would be ideal, so managed to make it work in that regard.

Bali is beautiful and very chilled, you literally can't get worked up here, so had a relaxed day, spent more than 4hours on a bike, so was exhausted afterwards, but it was so worth the day out ;)

Day 12

I'm still in Windhoek :D

Sooo, this outfit is a bit more me and the venue was in Auasblick, as there are a considerable amount of  open spaces. It's soooo green here, so decided to take advantage of the greenery.

I chose this outfit for this location because I actually loved the outfit and the location, sooo just decided why not...was looking for the best open space and came across 2 locations :)

Quick tip

The jumpsuit I am wearing is suitable for an hourglass and an inverted-triangle shaped figure. As it is a skinny, all the attention is on the leg, so a pear-shaped figure's hips will be very evident, therefore a skinny is not suitable for a pear-shaped figure, although the cloak I have on lies on the hips, therefore this outfit will also be perfect for a pear-shaped figure. An apple shaped figure can only wear this when the top part of the jumpsuit isn't tight at the top area, but is a bit loose, then it will suit an apple- figure perfectly.

My experience

This was really calming, just standing in the open and allowing the wind to blowing in my face, although the sun was pretty evident, it was beautiful.

I love my country! This is what we're exposed to everyday and we take it for granted sometimes, so I'm embracing this beautiful greenery <3

Day 5

New day:)
This morning, I went for a boat drive at sunrise...don't recall ever just relaxing the way I did when I stepped into the boat.

Sooo, my outfit was a bit different..as I was thinking of ways to make normal comic t-shirts more jazzed up. I added a long skirt to make it a bit more fashionable.

This trip was wayyy too fun to be in a body-hugging dress, so Spider-man came along :)

Jewellery by NamCrafts

Location: well, I was on a boat on the Kavango River.. and Hakusembe River Lodge (Gondwana collection)

Quick tip

This outfit can honestly be worn by all  different figures. My skirt sits on my waist, but when you have an apple figure, you can shift it above the waist, to the slimmest part of your abdomen. 

This is a fun outfit. Plus, you're never too old for comics :)

My experience

To describe this shoot..jeez, I couldn't have had more fun, really.

The boat ride was amazing. The scenery. The sound of the water :)

This was an amazing experience. One I would do over and over again.

The people were friendly, the service was exceptional.
I really had a great time here.

Was honored to have met the Governor of the Kavango East too, on my way out of town, Amb. Dr. Samuel K. Mbambo, who spoke to me about how Namibia isn't recognize internationally as it should be and how our own people aren't aware of how beautiful our country really is.
