Not So Casual Braai Day Outfit
I hope my fellow South Africans had a great long weekend. I love long weekends. It seems that they always come at times when you really feel you need a break. This is the outfit I wore on Heritage/Braai day. This isn’t what one would usually wear to a braai(barbecue), but I see nothing wrong with dressing up a little on these occasions. In my defense, this was worn on a Braai Day/birthday celebration. I’ve never really been a jeans and tackies kind of girl anyway. That being said, I always try to dress comfortably.
I love this grey studded dress. I bought it on a lunch break when I ran away from work one day and didn’t fit it on until I got home. It turned out to fit really well and was definitely one of my better spontaneous purchases. I find that this dress provides a very easy way to make up a pretty outfit. The second last picture is of my new Starbright girl earrings. They are definitely the cutest earrings I own and are my new obsession! I think they added a nice touch to the outfit. If you haven’t entered yet, tomorrow(Monday) will be the last day to enter my Starbright Girl earrings giveaway.
I LOVE this outfit! I’m going shopping with you when I get to Cape Town in December!

Love those earrings and the pop of colour the shoes add to your outfit. I have a confession…I never had a braai on braai day. It’s shocking I know. I hope they won’t kick me out of the country for it

Very cute little outfit. I like how the polka dots on your tights match the studs on your dress. And I agree, I always dress for comfort.. that to me just usually means a dress!
Adorable dress! And the red flats are too cute!
