Fashion vs trapped inside

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 :)

Location: The Olive, Windhoek

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 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 ;)

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 ;)

Day 15

I am trapped inside again:)))

Sooo, the outfit I am wearing is for those who have those statement pieces, which in my case is my skirt and can't really wear it often because people will know that you're wearing it AGAIN, so how to make something that's already busy look classy and fashionable.

Location: Gathemann restaurant, Windhoek

Quick tip

Soooo, this is a bit tricky but will be a bit specific with this tip, where feathers are concerned. If you have a sequins skirt too, this will apply, but will post some sequins soon to show the difference. I just had this skirt that was pretty out there, for an example for those who have that one thing they can't wear often because it already called attention before ;)

To be honest, it doesn't even matter what body type you are because you can cover anything with a blazer, so this I added to neutralize the craziness of the skirt and take away a few feathers too :D I added a cute diamante belt to make the outfit a bit formal. Basically, everything else worn with a busy skirt/pants should be calmed with a mono-coloured top/blazer/blouse to balance the outfit out a bit.

My experience

I did a shoot at  Gathemann restaurant before, so this blast from the past was soooo much fun, so had a very memorable day. It's a very vintage restaurant, with amazing food ;)

Had to do this shoot in the afternoon because it was going to get busy later, so had a relaxing shoot, just had some quick shots to give some advice, which is alwayssss a good idea.

I love this place, because everything in there is vintage, so this place takes you back alright :) to those old black & white movies <3 love love love

Day 13

This shoot was very unexpected...was searching for a venue as it started raining yet again...but nonetheless it was amazing. 

Soooo, as I'm on pants these days. I made something really different and to my surprise, the venue which was literally decided an hour before I had to go, matched my outfit, soo was just beautiful all together.

Location: Thule restaurant, Windhoek

Quick tip

This outfit will suit an hourglass and an inverted-triangle shaped figure. Pear- shaped figures should avoid wide pants like these, as the hips will look sooo much bigger and thus making it very evident. An apple- shaped figure can wear this outfit if the top isn't body fitted, just so that attention won't be drawn to the waist area.
I have realized that this outfit makes me look even taller <3

My experience

It was a windy and rainy night, so had to rush to get at least a few good shots before things started getting messy :) It was beautiful though. To my surprise I blended in again, which wasn't planned but nonetheless, it was beautiful being indoors and outdoors. I was indoors most of the time, these shots I managed to take outside were gifts <3

I was at Thule restaurant, it's very secluded and between houses, so hard to find, but it was worth the search ;)

Day 11

I am still in Windhoek, need to come up with some inspiring casual looks, things out of the norm so that those who like dressing up can come up with ways to make their outfits more fashionable.

I haven't done anything with pants, so I took the closest pants I could find and just made a top that is flattering.

I have a thing for Kimonos, think it's cos it's a lazy but beautiful concept, I added some African spice to it ;) justttt to show that Japanese and African cultures can make something beautiful.

Location: Stellenbosch restaurant and the Tasting Room, Namibia

Quick tip

Soo, this outfit it perfect for an hourglass and inverted-shaped figure. If however, the shirt is a bit longer a pear shaped figure will also be able to perfect this look, as the hips will be hidden because of the longer top. The belt can also be placed above the stomach when you have an apple figured body, pulling attention away from the stomach, although the belt width will have to be thinner.

My experience

I was looking for a great setting for a smart casual outfit, as it was raining..I couldn't really be outside and that was my initial idea, so had Stellenbosch in mind. The Italian villa setting made it very classy and romantic, also the outfit worked here. It was an amazing setting for what I had in mind, also it is a unique location, so trapped inside a villa is always a good idea :)
