Back on that stripes tip again, this
ensemble was worn about a month back when I attended the Zimbabwe Fashion Week
2014 press conference at the Harare City Library. It is also the same look from
last year’s “Sailor Inspired” post which I paired with my brand new black ZARA
tote at the time. For this second pairing, I switched up a few things with the
green pumps from Jet, the blue and green statement neckpiece and the Marie
Claire tote from Bata Shoes. I remember I added my tuxedo blazer to this ensemble,
to keep it polished and editorial for the press conference (something that I’ve
been widely reading on when it comes to nailing the chic but comfortable
editorial look. I must say I like the editorial vibe as I’ve been fusing it to my personality with
the STS brand). The last bit to this ensemble is the ELLE Magazine sunglasses
from way back in 2010 – I love having the ability to cherish one of my
favourite accessories, which are sunglasses! Care and maintenance is required
with pretty much anything really and since I’m one-quarter a vintage soul; I
always feel the need to cherish things so that they last longer.
All the same, summer is strongly upon us in
Harare and it just so happens to be a perfect time for fashion weeks and
showcases. If you haven’t already read, I managed to attend Zimbabwe Fashion Week, and just recently the Fashion Weekend Zimbabwe press conference on the 21st
of October. Unfortunately I did not attend the 3 day Weekend Fest – running
from 24-26 October (and it breaks my heart that I didn’t because FWZ has supported
bloggers from the get-go with their highly publicised blogger competition in
2013 and their Meet the Industry in February 2014). The only excuse I can give
for this is that God and Family comes first in any situation, so no worries,
2015 will roll around soon enough. With that said, I still plan to cover my own
commentary on the fashion shows by picking out my best designers from FWZ 2014!
Here’s to summer and Fashion Weeks in
Zimbabwe!
Stay Gorgeous
