Jozi Extremes

VG
|   Dress:  Ackermans, Winter 2012   |   Belt: Edgars, 2011   |   Shoes: Thrifted   |

|   Necklace: gift   |   Cuff: Accessorize, OLD   |   Bag: Vintage   |
Why I love it: Joburg winter weather is fickle, when I leave for work the weather can be freezing or 1 or 2 degrees above. 4 hours later, in my very sunny office, the temperature is well into the 20s and I am dying. This dress is cotton, so the right layering with it means I can cope with the “extremes” of our winter weather. I would usually wear a cami under this for work. The shoes are a new addition but they are second hand. I like the retro look.  The bag is one of my more expensive but more useful vintage finds. It is rare to find a vintage bag that can cope with the amount of junk we carry around in the modern age. This is a really useful size and I love the play between the hard shape and slick finish of the bag and the “organic” look of the bamboo handle.
