That valedictory dress

 

 

As I spoke about in one of my earlier posts, I recently had my valedictory dinner. A special evening where my grade and I celebrated our high school career as it comes to an end. It was a formal event and one which we got to dress up for. Most of the girls went for black and I got a few fashion inspirations for when I search for my ‘little black dress’. Another big favourite was formal jumpsuit. They are the new in-thing so a few girls were trying it out with varying success. I however was one of the few who delved into a bright colour. I don’t usually wear green but I do love the style of this dress which is what caused me to try it on and I fell in love. The colour works surprising well with my light skin and dark hair. The flow of the dress is classes and sleek. I love the modern cut and how it makes my body look. Of course it couldn’t be a ‘me’ outfit if I didn’t have something clashing. So my accessory colour became the vibrant and crazy orange. The style of my necklace is a that of tradition in South Africa. It is an old necklace which represents culture and heritage in South Africa. It felt good to have something to do with home. The necklace does not come from my personal culture but it does come from a culture of my country and that is very important to me. Other than that I looked for clean and simple (black and orange) accessories. It was a classic yet crazy look and the mature version of my style.
