I remember receiving a lesson on the spiritual and emotional reasons behind why you choose to wear the colours you do. It’s a reflection of where your head and heart is at. While I don’t remember much about it, the one take away I got from it all was that being drawn to black and white combination outfits is a sign of being well-balanced.
Luella from Foschini (also available on Bash) currently has a stunning selection of black and white/ivory dresses that are the perfect balance between trendy and classic. From pleated flare maxis, to duo-tone slips and embroidered pieces, they have so many options to create special summer memories in.
So where exactly am I on a personal and emotional level that leaves me as well-balanced as my monochrome outfit?! I’ve moved from surviving, to thriving. 2024 has shown me more trials than I ever imagined. My previous default would be to complain, emotionally-eat, and sink deeper. This time around, in spite of my circumstances I threw myself deeper into physical exercise and I’m on a mission to rediscover the autonomy that true personal style brings (instead of trying to wear what’s trending). I keep putting in the work with my emotions, my mindset and the quality of the relationships I keep in my life. I’ve realised how I need to dress, think and act if I’m going to become the woman I’m meant to be, because I finally feel ready for it all.
So here’s to many more black and white outfits, and everything that it brings!
