Gladiators in Suits

So I finally started watching Scandal (the Fixer on South African screens)... so late, I know. I am always late when it comes to series, partly because I am as stubborn as a mule and I hate getting into things because thats what everybody else is doing. So I usually resist the urge to go with the crowd and I can proudly say I have not read nor intend to read Fifty Shades of Grey.

Anway, so I totally love that show and I am all in it, that and Being Mary Jane. I love the fashion in that show and Olivia Pope makes me want to grab my old wide leg pants I discarded for slimmer fit. However the style darling in that show for me is Mr Harrison Wright, played by Columbus Short.

I love the cut of his suits,his bold print on print palette, the use of soft colours like pink and lavendar against the deep greys and dont get me started on the suspenders *swoon*

He makes it seem so effortless, dear future husband, you have officially received the memo when it comes to work attire! This post was inspired by my buddy Kea Modingwana whose style is oh so very Harrison Wright, paisley ties and all!

A brand new kind of me

Hi loves

I know its been a long while since I posted anything of sense and I am really sorry, I will try to reign in my hiatuses and keep them minimal. So a couple of things have changed since my last post.

I finally cut my hair and I am now sporting a teeny weeny afro.

I also started my new job on Monday, excitement does not even begin to describe how I feel. I finally said goodbye to long endless nights of photocopying, wading through agreements that I barely understand, running around preparing transaction bundles or bundles for counsel.

I work at a bank which means I get to ease up on my oh-so-serious lawyer uniform of black and white... although most people I worked with will tell you I was never really good at sticking to that conservative palette. So I was inspired to post a follow up on office appropriate wear bearing in mind that I now have a little more room for creativity.

This was more of an exercise for myself because I bought a whole bunch of stuff from Mango and then I was like how do I actually put these clothes together. FYI Red lipstick is going to be a regular feature in my style posts, you have been warned!
