beach wear by the table.

dress. fundago. plaid. woolworths. shoes. keds. sweater. aritzia

life is a beach. What a glorious Sunday afternoon. It is such a blessing to be surrounded by such natural beauty, which happens to be a 20 minute ride from home. Table Mountain has to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It is SO flat that you can take a cable car up its side and walk the entire circumference, as you please. I've done it at least 3 times with the hopes of many more.
I decided to wear something warm (ocean breeze) and beach friendly (no pant roll up please) with a dash of style thrown in. This dress is VERY deceiving as it looks like the one from Zara that I've seen on a couple of beautiful chicas, but I actually purchased it last year at a random store here in SA. Very strange, as it looks almost identical. The plaid is functional beyond belief and the Keds are utterly beach friendly. The knit sweater I have in my hand is for extra warmth as the wind seriously could of taken me down and almost did!
My outfit was able to fight the elements while still satisfying my desire to look somewhat chic on the beach, without succumbing to anything Quicksilver, Roxy or Billabong (yikes).
All in all, a stunning day at the beach.
Have a wonderful end to your weekend.
