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

Fashion vs Nature

Day 36

This is the final shoot in Germany before I head back to Namibia, so this had to be worth it.

It is a very simple outfit but I chose it because I wanted to pay more attention to the beautiful scenery.

It was beautiful..

Location: Sinkershauser, Germany

Quick tip

This outfit is suitable for an hourglass, inverted-triangle, rectangular and pear shaped figure. An apple figure can adjust the waist of the skirt to the smallest part of the torso, thus taking attention away from the larger area.

My experience

As this was my last shoot, I need as much greenery as possible, so I found this location and knew it was perfect for the final shoot.

It was a bit grey but there was sunlight after it all and this was beautiful.

I loved this shoot, made me feel like I was in a 19th century film. I think the scenery was just beautiful, although it was a bit cold it was sooo worth it.

Day 35

Sooo I ran out of outfits and had to put together a dress for another shoot in Germany, was so much fun and youthful. Only had 2meters of fabric, so had to come up with something really fast.

I chose this outfit because I haven't catered for younger girls, plus..I'm always excited when I get to wear sneakers :)

Location: Marburg, Germany

Quick tip

I would not recommend a dress like this to an apple shaped figure as the detail at the waist will call too much attention to the waist. So, all the slim waisted figures will look pretty in this dress, whether they have hips or not, it will suit them all :)

My experience

Soon fun :D

Really had a good time, had to keep running to different locations to get some sunlight. Aaah, it was sooo much fun. It wasn't that cold either, so running around without stockings just added to this beautiful day. It really was a great day..

Day 29

It was a really humid day and was drizzling the whole day, so I had to wait for the right time to take some pictures..

To me, this was a dreamy shoot, I think I was a bit sleepy before I took these pictures, but nonetheless I'm still in Bali and it's so green, so just had a laid-back shoot, no hassles ;)

Location: Kerobokan Bali

Jewellery by NamiPend

Quick tip

This look will fit an hourglass, inverted-triangle, rectangle and pear-shaped figure. An apple figure should place the waistband of the skirt above the waist area, taking attention off the waist.

But to me, this outfit will suit all body types, it's very classy and sophisticated.

My experience

This was truly a relaxed shoot, not heavy makeup was done or hair was stressed upon, it was just something you'd put on when you're having a relaxed day, in town. Had no hassle putting this outfit together.

It was chilled and that's why I liked it so much

Day 27

I'm in Bali, was in Denpasar driving around on a motor bike, just sight-seeing in town.

Couldn't really have a decent shoot because the wind literally blew me away, so what I have I'll gladly share.

I chose this outfit just to reflect the sun, as the weather was crazy. For example, blazing sun and then rain, then the wind was blowing- the shoot was bound to be interesting :)

Location: Denpasar, Bali (beach area and rice fields)

Bag by Amor Leather Trading

Quick tip

This dress is a plain pencil dress with some detailed work on the side, any type of pencil dress will suit an hourglass or an inverted triangle shaped figure. Rectangle shaped figure can wear this outfit although not much emphasise will be on the waist area.

My experience

In my opinion, wearing a dress on an island and driving around with a motor bike isn't really an ideal outfit, but I had to start it with something beachy that is decent, I know tomorrow will be very different.

This was fun, although I wasn't really prepared to take pictures today, but had to share my surroundings with you..

Bali is packed with tourist even off season, but managed to take some shots without them :D
