STYLISH , FUN, CHIC OR COMFORTABLE⛅🌂

Its not always easy to decide what to wear somedays- especially Mondays. We can look in our closet and think, 'What am I going to wear today? ' Sometimes it is a big dilemma of course it also depends on other things-  where you work, the weather and your comfort zone.  

Naturally if you work in the business world your style will be perhaps more conservative, the suit thing. Or if you are working in place where uniforms are standard then no problem (i.e. nurses, airlines) But what about other work situations,  Sometimes i wish I had a more outdoor job as i love to be outside breathing fresh air and not stuck in a building,  but that was not possible. Luckily my job did have months when travel was needed, so was the one time could be more casual dressed.
If you work in some creative area i.e. fashion  then it must be more exciting , as they can bring out their creative side, or not?  Being more flamboyant.

Sometimes i would have loved to be an actor, the idea of playing another person , wearing elaborate costumes or playing scenes of  old, thinking of  films Elizabeth  or the shakespeare in love, 

Perhaps when I am older  and want to be that crazy lady with the feather boa and long gloves , and big hat ( just a thought,  made me think of the film,  Murder on the orient express). 

So today i  guess I will wear something simple - 
 black slacks, print blouse and mules.  
Comfort is key today.



My kind of style (Mondays)
something simple & easy
Black is a prominent color in my wardrobe,  but sometimes it
gets bit boring , so this top with the paisley print seems just right for now, the purse is another nice piece on trend and easy slip on
mules  are a must for me.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h
