2017 in Recap

I think the two words that shaped the way I dressed were ‘make do’.

I might be a little late to the party but seeing that we’re still in the first week of 2018, I’m itching to do a recap of outfits I enjoyed in 2017.

Last year was life-changing to say the least. As my body shape was constantly changing the entire year, putting outfits together were a constant challenge. Subconsciously I had to purchase new things to fill in the gaps but I also tried and make do with the very limited selection of clothing that I could fit into for a good part of the year. Although it felt good knowing that I tried my best to make existing pieces work, I still struggle with my desires to purchase new things in an attempt to keep up with  the fashionable ones out there. Some things just don’t change.

Well without delaying any further, here are my favourite looks for 2017, in no particular order.

I have a feeling that this year is going to be a busy year as I learn to be a mother but I’m hoping to not let the uncertainties hamper my love for fashion. In fact I would love to challenge myself to redefine my personal style, to be more bold and colourful.

Stay tuned.
