sunday lunch.

the wackness pattern.

I acquired this dress during my internship at Tracy Reese.

The 70s/80s bathing suit print drew me in instantly.

It possessed a mad ruffle at the bottom, but I seam - ripped it off, to create a more streamline look.

coupled with a white tank took to take it down a notch.

pure silk with a gorgeous swing, makes for a perfect sunday afternoon birthday lunch.



on a different note:

*** Dec.1 st is World Aids day***

living in South Africa has opened up my eyes to its devastation.
up north in some communities 1 in 2 suffer from this crippling disease.

they are having a moment of silence throughout the world.
so if you have a moment to reflect...

crop style.

top.aa. pants. tracy reese. shoes. zoom. belt. vintage.

crop crop. I shyly pulled out my crop top. After seeing gala and rumi wear it flawlessly, it added to my apprehensiveness.

I had purchased it when I first got to New York (May) as it was scorching HOT. every. single. day. and came in very handy through the multitude of heatwaves. It was worn in Central Park a few times, but when I came back to Cape Town it was far too Arctic to rock it. To be honest it's one of the comfiest shirts in my possession. Albeit I still feel a tad reticent wearing it around our very reserved neighbourhood, BUT alas with summer coming I know I will get over it and wear it to its core.

These pants were another New York delight. They are Tracy Reese, which is where I interned this summer. They are fall 08 and I knew upon flipping through the look book I had to have them. They are ridiculously flared, slightly high waisted and the perfect length for killer sky highs. These will also be worn to threads.
