Fables in Fashion

Okay I’m trying, and I’ll try harder this coming weekend. But you guys know I’m trying to branch out my fashion posts, and when I saw these adorable white shoes, I thought I’d love to feature them in a post! They were from Target, they are cheap, cute and very comfortable.

Then I thought, I could wear some nice casual clothes and show you my low-key typical weekend outfit like a good fashion blogger would.

And I thought, why not even explore the cut of my top? This is one of my favourite jumpers, I wear it every chance I can. It’s comfortable, drapes down my shoulders perfectly, makes me look slim and clinches at my waist perfectly.

But I’m not a good fashion blogger, actually I don’t know what I’d call myself. Oh wait, that’s right. I’m child, at heart. See, I had just straightened my hair for the first time in weeks that day and noticed my hair was extra swishy (thanks to a product I shall review soon).

So I decided to jam pack my memory card with… what else, swishy hair photos! *cue awkward model music*

I know dude, seriously. I can’t take myself anywhere anymore *rolls eyes*

So I don’t claim to be a fashionista by any means, but I know what I like and what I don’t like. And I like free clothes (and that’s what half the outfit was) ;D I’m going to gradually bring back my “outfit” posts, after all Fables started off as a fashion blog… you know… hence the word “Fashion” in the name…

Not including the photo with the jacket (which Violet kindly gifted me!) the real stunner is the t-shirt, which as I said before, was free with a magazine Terribly sheer so I’m wearing a singlet underneath. But otherwise, this outfit is extremely comfortable, easy to throw together and very cheap

I promise to try harder next time mum hehe

Despite being a computer geek who fears the sun’s rays, I looove nature. At least the concept of it That’s essentially how the name of Fables came to be, my love for greek mythology, nymphs, fairies etc. This is why shooting outdoors is my favourite types of shoots

One of my favourite bags from TopShop, the leather is incredibly soft and gives off a very casual look. Not to mention an across the body bag leaves my hands completely free. Shoes were from a sample sale from RMK, tops from Portmans and jeans from Gasp

I looooove being in the forest, and the fact that Sefie lives just around the corner makes the location all the more attractive

I’ve noticed a bit of a trend in my wardrobe, I tend to stick to solid colours, avoiding patterns etc. And I’ve figured out why.

These same items of clothing can be easily incorporated into corporate wear, which up until recently has always been my “bread and butter” 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year for the last 3 years.

In other words, they are versatile!

I say recently because a week ago I was assigned a dream client (fashion industry), where everyday is “casual” clothes, oh the many outfits I will finally be able to explore! If only I could take photos of myself at work, without you know, getting awkward stares!

That’s besides the point, when I go shopping for hardware supplies for cosplay, and food for the rest of the week I try and dress as casually and as chic as possible! Too bad none of the photos really show you the aqua colour on my lower eyelash line
