So I am currently enjoying the summer vibe that Factorie, an Australian brand surrounding teenage fashion which has found its way to South Africa, has to offer. I must admit the place isn’t perfect and I have found a few clothes of bad quality but the general trend is fun clothes which are easy to slip into and fall in love with. They are so popular that you can’t help but bump into people wearing the same clothes as you which is a bummer but I suppose it only speaks for the on-trend atmosphere of the brand.
One of the new style trends which has arisen this season which Factorie has taken full advantage of is what I like to call the skirt-shorts. These are shorts which are loose and casual and take on the look of a skirt except you don’t have to worry as much about the wind causing you to flash everyone. I, being an anti-short person, have found that this trend works to my advantage because it looks and feels like I am wearing a skirt so I invested in a pair.I am now very fond of them and maybe (just maybe) I may have to invest in another.
Another favourite from Factorie are the new halter neck crop tops. I love this shape on me, I love how it makes me look and feel and I already own two versions of this shirt.
Of course, me being me, I had to have a moment of clashing patterns. I haven’t done it in a while and I feel like I have an empty space in my fashion soul so I decided to go for it once more. It may look like I am wearing very little clothing but what you must understand is that with temperatures reaching above 30 degrees Celsius almost everyday one rarely wants to wear clothes at all. I love this look because it’s cool and comfortable but has my added bit of mischief to it.
