Typical Tropical


So, I bought this blazer from River Island and decided to base my outfit around it. Its such an amazing blazer with tropical colours hence the title... Really love this outfit, hope y'all do too.



One half of a whole



This outfit consisted of printed blazer, burnt orange scarf, mustard yellow blouse and a forest green chiffon maxi skirt.




With or without the geeks?? 


A close up of those leopard print geek glasses was in order..

I mustache you a question?!?


I was requested to post this outfit by a fellow instagrammer, and as you can probably tell by the title it follows the 'mustache' trend which still has not died down.. its definitely a craze worth investing in. This outfit also emanates comfort over all else. In the waging war between flats and heels, this time the glorious Nike blazers were victorious.. an outfit more suited to those of us who are going for the 'i just threw this on' (but it still looks fairly awesome) look.


This look consisted of the mustache/geek tee, denim shirt , chiffon maxi skirt and Nike blazers.


EEK GEEK! :O

Olives, Peaches and Berries




Yup that's right food is my biggest inspiration LOL... Olive blazer, peach blouse and a berry coloured maxi-skirt were the choices for this particular outfit, they certainly work well together (the colour combo, not the actual edible foods I referred to... hehe) and I hope you agree too!!


I absolutely adore this olive blazer, it is now a staple piece in my wardrobe. the colour is gorgeous which is the thing that lured me towards it in the first place.. x



These laced up khaki heels perfectly matched the blazer and in hindsight it would have been a crime not to pair it with this outfit.




I also went for an African urban turban look with my scarf... wild I know, but I had a sudden jolt of inspiration and decided to go bold

Bow and Polka Dots


The Bow- so y'all know how I love my bow ties and it just so happens I came across this amazing one in Primark... paired with this polka dot shirt I bought from H&M it looked amazing. I absolutely love this look




Mustard and navy do look great together.. I paired the shirt with a black jumper because I did not want to overdo the outfit with the blue colour as I also wore a blue maxi-skirt (sometimes too much matching is no good) :/

The Bright and the Bold


I absolutely fell in love with bright bold statement colours this season. So you can imagine my delight when I stumbled across the perfect yellow blazer paired up with a pink blouse the outfit was already looking really good in my head. I could not possibly leave these purchases in the store to be picked up by a stranger, these items needed a good home (they would be safe in my hands... =] ). P.S I had to match my nails to the outfit LOL!!




I really love the way the yellow blazer compliments the pink .... my personal opinion = pink and yellow are a match made in heaven. Also, I did not wear many accessories as to overdo it and kept it simple.




 My hijab/turban had little specks of the pink and yellow colours I was wearing but the outlining colour was black I did not want to overdose on the bright colours therefore the subtle hints of colour on the hijab was perfect.


Face of the day... eek its geek!


the colour did not pick up very well but I wore a navy maxi skirt which I felt suited the bright tones of yellow and pink :)




I couldnt resist...... matching nails!! Hehe x

Scarf- Primark
Rings- Primark

Brace Face

Hi fellow fashionistas, bloggers and all things human... This is the part where I introduce myself, so here it goes; I'm 20 years young, a student and have a crazy addiction to bow ties and all things Geek Chic! Simples.

Im the new girl on the block, so please be nice, and let me know what y'all think! (<--My failed attempt at being American).


I paired this particular outfit with heels to give it more of a 'girly' feel, but you could easily dress it down with a pair of comfy flats :) the reason I recreated the nerd look that I've seen on so many models, female and males alike, is because I have rarely seen this look paired with a maxi skirt and as I am a skirt wearer and the pure fact I have always wanted to wear braces and bow ties I decided to give it a go.



 


Accessories:
Long finger ring- Primark
Rounded leopard ring- Dorothy Perkins
Nude strap watch- New look
Leopard framed geek glasses- Primark

Outfit:
Bow Tie - Primark (Mens section)
Navy Skirt-Primark
Blac suede Heels - Primark
White Shirt - Primark
Braces - H&M
Oversized scarf - Primark

So here is my first outfit of the day, hopefully there will be more to come. Please feel free to leave any comments and suggestions. I would appreciate any feedback!! :) 

And Remember girls
Keep It Under Wraps
