ombre.


skirt.f21.shirt.aa.flats.gap
the dip-dying of the ombre print is always re-surfacing.
reminiscent of matthew williamson spring 08 ?
oh f21.
It allows for color-blocking, but in a more subtle way. Just how I like it!
I have to resort to minimal clothes as the temperatures are scorching HOT, but fear not I will be back in the northern hemisphere next week, so will have to succumb to some Michelin man styling.
oh- a few people asked my whereabouts in Canada. I am from Edmonton, Alberta (well just outside of it...). so it is cold.
like -25...-30.
FREEZING.

Thanks for everything, sweety!

Dane said...

I just tried on a dress at Topshop in the exact same print and colors. Methinks it is DIY-worthy. You look great in the crop top, not something everyone can pull off but you do it well. x

Abby said...

Hello pretty lady!

You look so hot in crop tops its silly. I wish I could rock them like you.

I feel like everyone is going to Canada but me..well...by everyone I mean you and the bicycle pirate.

Cap.B + Terence: You guys are too sweet. I danced for about 16 years, but it is mostly genes.

i've had these legs since i was little and was mad fun of in school for having "man legs" (!!!)
oh my. kids can be cruel, hey?


LOOOOOOVES.

triangle eyes said...

Hello again!

To answer your question, no, I'm not from SA but that's where I spent most of my life.

Have fun when you get to Canada! The weather is really weird in NYC. From freezing, to mildly cold with hints of sunlight and to rain as well.

Cheers

triangle eyes said...

I hope you don't mind me asking but, being Canadian, what brought you to SA?

Katie said...

i love your cropped top

Vintage Lollipops said...

This is gorgeous, and braving it in 25-30 degrees... wow.

Kudos.

Charmaine Li said...

Mavis Ang said...

triangle eyes said...

Oh that's beautiful (I'm a hopeless romantic)! Let love lead the way and everything else shall follow.

And I agree with everyone else, stunning legs! If it's in the genes, you must have a really fierce family.

Cheers

Yeah, Canadian thrifting is so good...Especially in the not so fashionable province's like BC and Alberta because nothing has been picked through!!
