Outfit Of The Day - Why Don't You Be My Boyfriend ( #MakoyaStyle Challenge 1)

Hi guys! I hope everyone has had a good week and are ready for the weekend- I sure am! I know this past week was a little quiet on the blog but with what felt like a million tests(in reality it was six) and having food poisoning this week I really wasn’t feeling up to blogging. Thank goodness I have a week break now to get my ducks in a row and blog more often!

I am taking part in the Makoya Style Challenge from this week and I am representing Johannesburg! There are three bloggers taking part in the challenge and we all received a pair of shoes with which we now have to create four different outfits around. My shoes are these pretty leopard print babies and I picked the “boyfriend jeans” look for my first post.

I love the boyfriend jeans, and like I have mentioned before, I actually do use my boyfriend’s old jeans that he grew out of long ago. I didn’t see a point going out to the shops and buying a pair when the whole point of the “boyfriend” style is that it looks like you borrowed it from your boyfriend- the jeans are loose, folded at the bottom and are often ripped. Well I borrowed the boyfriends’ pair indeed and would you be able to tell that I didn’t buy them myself? They are so easy to work with and you can wear them to a lunch with the girls or to a night out. And now that you have read the title of the post, don’t you have the ‘NSYNC song stuck in your head ;)?

Hats are huge this winter and I have finally hunted down the one that I have been wanting. Paired with a statement top and a tailored blazer I thought this is a perfect match to the leopard-print wonders. This look is really simple yet stylish (minus the hat, that’s not for the faint hearted) and will look great on anyone.
