Yep, I love to go to markets on Saturdays (ok on Sundays as well). This Saturday I was at the SmallBiz Indaba at the Blue Bird Garage. It wasn’t just a market but it definitely had that market vibe that I love. It was all about people showing what their small businesses had to offer. I found it quite inspiring to see all these people trying to make a success of something they started themselves. Besides that, I ate too much food, got my eyebrows beautifully sculpted, bought perfume and a skirt. It was a successful day I say!

I’ve been wearing jeans so much lately that I felt like I was going back to my roots when I wore this outfit. If you’ve been following this blog for a while you’d know that I love dresses. I bought this one at the YDE sale. I quite like it. I find it easy to wear and comfy.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I enjoyed mine. I’ll be blogging about my Saturday very soon.

OK, not so new but it is the newest pair I own. I do love these shoes I bought at Woolies. They are so comfy and they make me look taller. I hereby pledge my undying love for wedge heels!

I recently bought a bargain coat that I love, but when I wore it I realised that the shoulders of the coat looked too big. Power shoulders don’t always work for me so I decided to remove the shoulder pads . Naturally, this all turned into a blog post.

What you need: Some cotton, a needle and a pair of scissors.

1: Turn sleeves inside out and find the sleeve with the stitching that is on the outside like the picture below.

2: Use your scissor to unpick the stitches that are on the outside in order to make a hole in the sleeve.

3: Pull the jacket through the hole you just made until you reach the shoulder pad.

4: Use your scissor to cut out shoulder pad and repeat step 3 and then cut out other shoulder pad.

5: Push shoulders of jacket back in and then use your needle and cotton to sew hole closed.

That easy!

Admittedly my before and after picture doesn’t show much difference but I can definitely feel the difference. I’m much more comfortable when I wear the jacket now.

Hope everyone had a great Women’s Day. A public holiday is always most welcome! This is what I wore today. I felt like being casual and comfy. I continue for my love for cropped jackets with this one I bought at the YDE sale. The earrings are also one of my all time favourites. I wear them a lot!
