outfit | kimono me krazy

This post was originally posted on A Fashion Friend, and to be honest, their photo edits were cooler.

I think it’s no surprise that the summer of 2014 was kimono crazy – they’re sleek, easy to wear, take any outfit from an average person 6 to a hipster 8.5 and they make you feel completely covered even if you’re only wearing shorts and a crop top. They also serve the purpose of making house wear formal enough for leaving the house – one of the owners of Ruff Tung even told me she swears by them because she can wear them around the house yet still meet with clients, and, I mean, who am I to disagree? Comfort is cool, and so are kimonos.

fashion | welcome to 32 clothing

As promised in my Beach Bum outfit post, I said that I’d talk about 32 Clothing (the place from which I got my amazing Monki monochrome playsuit) in another post, and this is that other post! I’m finally getting around to this and it’s way overdue because I got to visit the store at the beginning of December and pick up a few Christmas gifts for an amazing price.

Happy New Year! I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful 2015 – I can feel that it’s going to be a great one. With some wonderful matric results in hand (well done class of ’14!) and a move to Cape Town on the horizon, I feel virtually unstoppable – you can’t @ me even if you knew my handle. But before I go on to that, I should probably backtrack to the last time I was in Cape Town in December and got to hang out with my old friend, Nuzhah, in my brand-spanking-new jumpsuit from 32 Clothing (but more on that in another post).

as my last post for 2014, i thought a quick reflection would be apt. this year, this blog has given me many opportunities and i’ve also had some incredible moments outside of it, too. i graduated high school, i went to an amazing matric dance, i got my drivers license – all of these moments and more have made this year worthwhile.

travel | dearsolo goes to istanbul [part 2]

on the second day of our trip, we headed out early and while we were walking, we managed to come across this side street that was pretty empty. by that stage, my sister kind of knew the drill (“make sure you get full length shots then details!”), so i handed her my camera and jumped into shmodel mode. i had planned this outfit in my head for about a week and i really liked how it turned out – especially considering the fact that most of the time, midi skirts and flat shoes look awkward.
