Black Beauty

I am currently really into sewing and I often create accessories and garments for not only myself but for my daughter too.

Having us coordinate is a tiny obsession of mine and instead of spending hours online searching for the perfect item, I decided to create them myself.

My latest DIY is this ultra adorable faux fur gilet.

Of course it had to be black due to my serious love for monochrome but I had made a brown one first which she’ll wear in a future lookpost.

The amount of faux fur fluff on my floor is enough to make a rug but it’s all worth it once the product is complete.

I really hope you guys like it, I certainly do.

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a look from my little cutie and my current way of dressing her.

As you know, I’m all about unisex and monochrome. I don’t mind spending a little extra on items I find to be transitional and I don’t treat pieces for her any less different than the pieces I choose for myself. Just because she grows out of her clothes fast does not mean I need to skimp.

Knowing what items will “grow” with your child is what will determine the amount you’re willing to spend on him or her. Personally, everything in cotton on is worth spending a little extra on.

Mila went to the aquarium for the first time and on our way out I decided to go to the Watershed and picked up this amazing jumper by Sam & Seb for her which I paired with these Walkmates Leather Chelsea Boots from Woolworths.

Cookie has been kinda obsessed with bags and boots lately so picked this up at cotton on kids. Duh I had to get her this one because it’s white with black polka-dots and glitter, yes, GLITTER!!!!

Nothing exhausts me more than running after this little miss but nothing and I mean nothing gives me more joy than being her mom.

I look at her face makes my heart grows 3 times bigger. I might not always look all-together or feel all-together but my little angel keeps me all together.

Thank you for popping in and have a great week!

Reach for the stars… Never give up!

More from Pick ‘n Pay clothing!

I had to pop into the mall to get Mila some milk (Hipp Organic Formula) and figured, hey, let me see what my latest kids fashion store has to offer.

I think the reason why I’m so chuffed with Pick ‘n Pay clothing is that they cater to moms, like myself, who love dressing my kid in solids.

Black, white and grey are my favourites and I’ll throw on a denim jacket, blazer, cardigan or button up jersey to tie the look together.

Previously I posted her in aztec printed shorties and today I went and got her these cute white ones. At R29.99 they were a steal and just had to get her a black pair as well as grey & white and black & white vests. (summer’s a comin’ baby!)

This t-shirt is the pink version of the grey tee in post before wear she wore her Tic Tac Toe shoes and Boyfriend Jeans.

These cute shoes are from Edgars and the denim jacket I bought when she was 3 months old on sale at Ackermans for R15!

I’m not a fan of character clothing. It’s a personal decision to not dress her in it and even though the ensembles I’m putting her in lately are SUPER AFFORDABLE, I don’t mind splurging when it comes to my daughter.

Hope you enjoyed the post; here’s another funny face from Mila!
