(super) STYLE FOR LESS *
Fashion has never been this accessible!
Jo’burg has fully and beautifully embraced the splendour of Spring, and with the lure of summer times around the corner, I decided I needed to spoil myself and headed off to do some wardrobe updating – out with the boots and in with the burst of sunshine loving!
I popped in to Mr Price for some browsing, and an hour later found myself with two very bulging bags and the best therapeutic shopping session I have had in a while.
I was SO excited and inspired by what I store in the store that I HAD to share my buys with you all.
Mr Price’s development initiative is a phenomenal opportunity to showcase local designers (which you know I’m big on) and to allow the latest trends to be accessible to all of us.
My advice, RUSH over and be ready to be wow-ed! This stock is probably going to go real quick!
Be aware of small, yet exceptional pieces that can turn any outfit into a statement. Think creatively and remember, fashion is about expressing yourself without having to say anything at allJ

This printed jumpsuit is part of the Amber Jones range. Amber Jones was the winner of the Elle Mr Price New Talent collaboration. Always keep your eye out for these ranges. They are great and a fantastic showcase of emerging designers.

Stripes are such a big trend this season – this dress just begs for open fields, picnic baskets and flower picking! The neckline is interesting and feminine and the silhouette flattering for anyone.

Another Amber Jones creation, this dress makes you feel like a fantastical princess! The interesting tye-dye print, the detail of the slight trail, the cut and the silhouette are so well crafted – a real winner!

We cannot get enough of the HOT tangerine colour trend! I am so in love with this dress. It can be dressed down for the day, and turn into a sexy statement at night. The detailing that Mr Price has introduced into their designs is
commendable. How haute is that back?!

Another one of those ‘less is more’ pieces this dusty pink vest has got the most beautiful detailing with its fabric and hardware. Paired with almost anything, I’m guaranteeing a stylish statement!

Ok, so maybe my love affair with tangerine and mustards IS a bit much but I just can’t get enough! This pussy-bow blouse can go a LONG way with a host of looks!

Harem Pants – Model’s Own
I found this camel cropped pants in the InSync section of Mr Price, which isn’t their ‘haute’ department
necessarily, but I thought it was stunning. Paired here with a Slouchy shirt, the effect of neutrals and movement is so hot for Spring/Summer!

Ok, so florals for Spring is a tad cliché and unambitious, but its all about vibrancy for this season, so whether its with florals, stripes or colours, it’s a time to show energy! This dress is one of the ‘recommended’ pieces by the fabulous Agyness Dean who Mr Price hosted in South Africa recently.
