Outfit || Polka Dotted.

One thing I never say no to is an opportunity to shoot with really dope photographers. So when Marc sent me a message asking if I was interested in a shoot – nothing serious, just to test out his new lens, of course I said yes immediately.
If you read this weekend bits post, then you might already know some of this.

We settled on a day and it coincided with Deola’s meet &greet which I had already planned to attend in something casual, so I stuck with my initial plan of this polka dot skirt and turtle neck too.
In retrospect, I should have taken the opportunity and shown up in something more up beat but I think this worked also.

This polka dot pleat skirt is slowly topping the list of one of my fave pleated skirts, majorly because of the countless ways I’ve been able to style it (here, here, here, and here )
My mum doesn’t feel the same way about my pleat skirts though and she thinks I should start dressing more lady like/ wearing more gowns.
I’m also beginning to think in that direction as well and have started the process to adding a few more “adult/lady like” pieces to my wardrobe. Not because she wants me to but because it hit me recently that I don’t really have lots of outfits for fancy gatherings/events, I’m always improvising.

Sometimes there’s ‘your style‘ and then there’s what is appropriate for a particular event and place. I believe there should be some balance and I’m currently striving to bridge that gap in my wardrobe. Of course, I’ll still stay true to my style and definitely find ways to make whatever i wear have a bit of “ME” shining true.
