#OOTD - Saturday Casual



As some of you may know, my boyfriend is a Merchandise Manager for some super fancy brands like Salsa jeans and CR7.  This means that most of our weekends are spent in shopping centres, remerchandising stands and completing reports.  I go with because I not only love Julian, but I also love to be in any kind of decent shopping centre.  I’m probably the worst window shopper you’ll ever met: I love to look, but hardly ever buy (because I’m constantly broke as). 



This is the outfit and makeup look I wore this weekend while on one of these expeditions.  Enjoy!

·         Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer

My outfit is pretty basic.  I’m wearing:

·         Plain white vest – Edgars
·         Bootcut jeans – Sissy boy
·         Snakeskin texture sneakers – Edgars
·         Braided belt – Mr. Price
·         Hoops – Lovisa



I know this outfit is pretty simple, but as much as I love fashion, I am pretty basic when it comes to dressing myself.  I feel like basics are a sure-fire way to make sure you never get it wrong.  I should also add that the weather has been ridiculously temperamental lately: it’ll start out cloudy, clear up and rise to about 26/27°C and then we’ll have a full-on thunder and lightning storm by about 5pm.  Last night, it rained for so long that my entire garden flooded and I had soggy shoes coming in from gym. 

For my hair, I’ve lately just been sliding it all back with an alice band.  My hair here is freshly washed and just shaken out under the blow-dryer – I haven’t rolled it or done anything special.  After brushing it, I finished off my ends with Hask Macadamia Oil Revitalising Shine Hair Treatment oil.  The bottle says you only need a coin-sized amount, so I automatically assume that “coin-size” equals R5 coin for all of my hair.  It not only smells amazing, but makes your hair ultra shiny, like you actually did roll your hair out with a brush. 

Please let me know if you like this kind of post: drop me a comment below or on any of my social media!  Also, I am currently training Julian to be my photographer.  I'm not only ever going to post selfies.  


Love and light, until next time ♡♡♡
