My Two Cents...: Black shoe, Black shoe, Change your Shoe!

Like most girls I love fashion, shoes and trending hairdos. I watch Keeping up with the Kardashians and I follow fashion icons on Twiiter. I love platform heels and I believe shoes can communicate. They either say ‘buy me now’ or ‘think about me and if I’m still here when you come back, we’re meant to be’. When I’m bored I visualise potential outfits in my head and where I could wear them to. This makes me very happy! N.B: I’m not crazy just passionate!

My latest visualisation was inspired by a pair of nude platform heels I saw while at the mall. It is a modern casual (as I like to call it) outfit and can be worn to a party or on a night out with friends. The outfit is as follows:

· Nude platform heels

· Blue skinny jeans with a sight fade on the thigh

· Sleeveless coral coloured chiffon top with collar - long at the back and short in front

· Coral, pastel bluish green and nude neck piece with gold trimming

· Big nude circular/oval earrings with gold trimming

· Wavy side sweep hair-do

· Nude and coral box handbag

Attention to detail is everything! As you can tell I often start creating from the bottom up as I prefer my shoes to make a bold statement rather than my jewellery or clothing. I like my jewellery and clothing to be relatively simple and clean cut with plain colours as this allows me to mix & match and add my own unique touch. If I could draw I would have drawn a fashion vision board but considering I’m hopeless at drawing you will have to also create this outfit in your head to see it as a whole.

The people who inspire my fashion craze include my Mum, the Kardashian/Jenner crew and South Africa TV presenter and fashion icon, Jennie D. However my ultimate fashion icon is Victoria Beckham and at times it feels like she can hear my fashion thoughts and puts them into action. Victoria’s designs are often simple and sleek with a touch of mind-blowing elegance. She seems to get colour coordination right almost always, which is difficult to achieve. I'm all for colour coordination! It irks me when people think that just because colours look good on paper or on a wall it will work on humans too....noooooooo! I believe (I think Vic believes this as well) that there should be no more than three colours on an outfit including jewellery and shoes. If you choose to wear a busy, floral or colourful top, it should be paired with a pair of plain and subtle pants and vice versa...and NO!....black shoes DO NOT match with everything. As for the Kardashians, even though they are often found on the sour side of most peoples tongues
they win me over with their make-up and hair tips. My favourite looks include the Kim Kardashian High Glam Bun and the Wavy Side Sweep…and the lengthy eyelash look is a must have!
