When it comes to the old fashion retail faithfuls they still do have the power to surprise me with some fabulous fashion gems. I know you hate having to go through all the masses of badly arranged rails to hunt for something that you might be able to wear... so, (loving this job a lot) I have braved the instore merchandising chaos for you and pulled the following fab items you should be wearing this summer :)
I am pretty obsessed with the pretty military trend at the moment (soft dirty pastels mixed with military fatigues) and mixing masculine worker-wear with feminine ditsy and wallpaper-print floral (a soft floral blouse, worn tucked into a pair of utility pants (cinched in at the waist with a thin leather belt and effortlessly rolled up to the ankles) teamed with a pair of roughed up worker boots ... kind of Little House on the Prairie meets I'm a Lumberjack ...loving it!!)
You will be so impressed with the well-priced pretty military looks at Edgars and Foschini's... See the fashion posts below called PRETTY MILITARY
(Edgars and Foschini are nationwide stores fashionsisters, so this is not just a Cape Town find :))
Off you go... I've paved the path for you...
