Basics are the building blocks to ''chic''

Chic outfits are pretty basic. Not a lot of loud and attention-grabbing pieces. A calm and understated look paired with a quiet confidence. What creates these looks? BASICS. And a monotone colour scheme. Making use of colours like grey, black and white. Then adding pops of colour to add character if you will. Its key to make a chic outfit look thoughtless and simple almost a casual ''what I had lying around the house''. But there is a pretty masterful composition technique that takes place. It starts with what I would like to call a base board or a dish. The same way you put food on a plate is the same way you put clothes on your body. A dish needs to look appetising, colour combos that make the entire dish look enticing. A great example of this is South Africa's seven colours Sunday lunch. Clothes should be strategically put together to put together a beautiful ensemble that looks appealing. It's Simple all you need are these items: A simple black pant that fits well, a blank white t-shirt, A blank black t- shirt, long sleeves in whatever colour, a black crewneck or jersey of any sorts and a pair of blue jeans that fit well. That's the base from there you can decide if you want to add extra flavour to the fit. Maybe have black jeans a white t-shirt and a turquoise sweater with gold or silver jewellery and a white sneaker with a versatile silhouette like the Nike air force one. Simple and clean. Also keep proportions in mind.

The Futile Discourse of Skinny Jeans

 My view of skinny Jeans have never been altered as I believe skinny jeans ELEVATE a women’s outfit and figure .









They are great basic pieces to have in your closet when needing to run errands or during daily acts like school or work (if allowed) 




An observation I’ve had is that skinny jeans come in BETTER WASHES! Better washes than the baggy and wide leg ……..etc.( Unless you’re willing to dent your bank account for a better wash in that specific genre of jeans .)
I feel like the darker ,navy looking wash is elegant in a very cheap ,I’m not trying Hard way  ðŸ¤·‍♀️[THAT IS A GOOD THING] so I will repeat it ELEVATES a ladies outfit .





Georgina Rodriguez is my Favourite skinny Jean wearer.She styles them in a very chic fashion .Which I LOVE because it makes it feel personal in a way .Like I’m not really aware or exposed to (current) people wearing skinny jeans because it’s not in trend 🙄. Which shows that Goergina wears them because she genuinely likes them and finds confidence in them .Adding on to the fact that she doesn’t  need societal approval about a piece of clothing that she is wearing .

THE BEGINNING OF GREATNESS

TIGHTS .TIGHTS .TIGHTS . TIGHTS . TIGHTS .

I believe panty-hose has the power to elevate an outfit.
They are also a cheat at layering clothing 🤗
Tights/Panty-hose come in different colours , prints and textures . I find they help me feel comfortable in a skirt while also making me feel feminine (which is not a common feeling 🫠)
