What is with the weather in Durban recently? One minute it's sunny the next minute it's hotter than Hades and sometimes it's even sunny while it rains! I am not impressed, to say the least. I did manage to snap some outfit pics recently though, very quickly before a coffee date with a friend I haven't caught up with in a while. I wore a skirt, the omnipresent striped tee and a fun necklace to complete the look. This is a typical look for me and to play it up a bit I added a bold lip using Mac Dark Side. I love the colour so much and I will probably be reaching for every now and then this summer!

That's what my sister was saying as she took my pictures for this post. I had no idea what she was talking about until she demonstrated. It appears I have stock poses (err maybe). The weather was amazing on this day. It was a whole 28 degrees (in winter that's quite an accomplishment) and my mom, sister and I went out to run errands, shop a bit and do some visiting. I love this flamingo top and I had to pair it with my dark denims (rolled up of course). My yellow handbag is never far and I added some gold neckwear. I admit I am a bit of a repeat offender accessories wise. If it works, I work it (hah!) Hopefully the 'new' poses work for y'all reading this.

We went back to varsity this week (oh the joy). Despite the mild sarcasm it really was great to see my friends after more than a month of holiday. It's amazing how many fun things you miss when you're away from varsity! The first day back was filled with laughs, us talking over each other (like we always do) and a small dose of reality as we got introduced to our new modules for the rest of the year. The weather was pretty chilly (Durban apparently clued in to the fact that it's winter) so I wore my new jacket from Woolworths over my Zara tee (as seen before) with some faded denims and my current favourite pumps (also seen before). I finished the look with my a gold mecklace (I love gold lately) and threw my odds and ends into my studded bag. I would love to say we spent most of the day learning but we mostly spent it cooing over pics of Baby Cambridge (Prince George Alexander Louis that is). I'm obsessed with Kate Middleton, Price William and the baby but that's a story for another time...

I am so excited to do my first full outfit post on the blog! I don't know how soon more will be forthcoming but I thought I'd share this outfit with you. This is an outfit which is typical of me. I pretty much live in skirts be they short or long or midi and this blog is called 'The Girl In The Striped Tee' so you all know I'm pretty much all about those too! I am obsessed with every bit of clothing I have on in this post. I picked up the necklace on sale at Sass Diva a while ago and in fact if you stop by regularly you would have seen it in one of my 'New In' posts. I haven't really worn it much because I had difficulty showing it off to full advantage given the collared tops I prefer in winter. The skirt is actually a mullet skirt I bought from Mr Price that I had altered because I just couldn't deal with the mullet-ness of it all. The cap toe pumps from Woolies are honestly the comfiest things to walk around in and the canvas material is what I like to think of as a fun Woolies twist to a classic, a pair of pumps. The fringe bag is still a fave as you can see and I finished the look off with my Swatch watch.
