VERSATILE vs TRENDY// fashions

VERSATILE  OR TRENDY STYLES

Fashion trends are always changing and instagram or influencers are where a lot of girls get inspiration from  -  but lately in the news there are more and more reports on substantiality or being conscious of how and where things are made.

Fast fashion as it is known is one of the major
ones that bring out trends for each season . There is always something new. Sometimes it is hard to decide what to get or try. If you are keen to follow a certain fashion or trend  and don't want to spend a lot  as i have mentioned previously  probably the best way is to try a trend in a small way,example animal prints .   
If you like it but not a complete look  then shoes,  handbag or scarfs  are an option



So what is important versatility or trends? 
I think if you really really love a trend then okay, go for it. but if not then wait. Versatility is more important.  How often or many time you wear a item is key.

So what to buy?  The most useful items are the ones you would wear most often.  If you are a jeans and flat shoes lover , then you would a good pair quality pieces.


TRENDS  - ANIMAL PRINTS
the leopard print is one trend we have seen over and over, this is one trend that comes around more then once so really it is more a classic print.  Animal prints in general  are always fashionable.
and if you are not keen on the complete look , a simple belt or scarf  might be  a starter.







Love this halter top, it can work now under a nice blazer, with a skirt or slack.  Simple chic and 
again Versatile, as you can wear 
many ways .  Versatility  is key.



2 LEOPARDS  - better than 1

whether you like a all over style , this dress is great for now
with its mock neck and longer style, great for fall winter
season. styled with knee high boots, beige or a pop of colour
its classic, even just a great pair of chunky earrings would be enough.





ADORE THIS DESS  the sleeve, open neckline.
for summer it is devine. 

Colors  I love a pop of colour  , but then there are some that are not eye appealing or look great on anyone. The bright neons come to mind.  Its like wear a sign , but in a small dose perhaps  it works, a small purse or wallet,


VERSAT'ILE








Beige or brown is big this fall season, it looks great on most everyoneand the key word its versatile like a neutral shade. 
 I love the look .


























Check or Tweed , whether in coats or slacks its a classic!  I love the look of a black and white check - look at chanel and you can see what a great print  it really is. It is a forever  style.





Quality or Quantity
Quality is important for most of us and a good quality piece will last for years  - an example  being winter wear,  cashmere or wool pieces are the best investment, but of course the price of some designer items can be hard to handle . Another option is to get pieces with a certain percentage of wool or mohair is also as soft and warm as a cashmere sweater at a fraction of the cost.


What is your fashion style or choose  - versatility or trendy or both?

 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.

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
