Street Style: Cape Town Fashion Week fashionistas

Last week I managed to get down to Cape Town Fashion Week – and boy was it fashionable sight to behold!   So many fashionistas in one area was mind boggling.  I managed to get some snaps of those that I thought had great style – but because there were so many, Ill have to do this in 2 parts (part 2 coming up next week).

I am loving the use of colour in this outfit below: from the red lip, to the red belt, to the red shoes.  If you are a little scared to use colour, using accent colours like the lady below will really help you to inject colour into your outfit without making you feel uncomfortable.

And then I stumbled across this delicious-looking bag: Patchwork – Gotta love it!  I think getting a great, interesting handbag can really lift any outfit.  If patchwork isnt your thing, then try other details like braided straps like the pic at the bottom?

Love the details on this bag – dont settle for the ordinary!  Go through your mom’s closet, she probably has great handbags from way back when.
