Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Fall Work Outfit Ideas

Fall work outfit ideas is a post based on items I have recently purchased and been creating looks for.

I can’t believe today is the last Monday of the month, even though I have been away for two weeks. When you’re away on holiday, all of a sudden the month starts to move really quickly. I felt like just last Friday I was preparing for my holiday to Johannesburg and now I am already back. Time sure does fly fast when you’re having fun and fun I certainly had in South Africa.

Whilst in Johannesburg, I did make a number of purchases which led me to create these outfit ideas. Regular readers know how much I love putting outfits together even though fall is not my favourite season. I am one person who absolutely hates layering but has to because I would freeze to death otherwise. When I was thinking of how I would dress my new colourful trousers for work, I thought I share some of my fall work outfit ideas.

Fall Work Outfit Ideas

As mentioned, I made a couple of purchases whilst I was holidaying in South Africa and couldn’t wait to show them off at work. The first pair of trousers I bought was the pink trouser from the unknown brand but regardless I loved how it looked when paired with a loose blue top. Since fall season is upon us I figured for work I would add ankle boots, a warm MAC coat and minimal accessories.

For the second outfit, it’s another light pink trouser which I felt paired with a simple long-sleeved shirt with strips would do the trick. As much as I love keeping my outfits simple, pairing this outfit is light pink heels were what came to mind and I love it.

The third outfit is totally out of my comfort zone, I hardly have this colour in my wardrobe. I do love yellow like the next person but hardly wear it. My auntie on the other had loves yellow and it was nice to see how she pairs it. I took inspiration and added a yellow pair of trousers. The long-sleeved blouse screamed to be paired with the yellow trouser outfit. I choose to be even bolder and added a pair of yellow heels and I think it works.

Though fall is so not my season, I have had fun creating these fall work outfit ideas. So far I have worn the first out twice, entering October I will be daring the yellow outfit.

What do you think of my fall work outfit ideas? Do you have such colours in your wardrobe? Do you ever go bold with your colours in fall?

    I do love your choices, especially the blues and creams 😉 Just shows I’m not a fan of bold colours, but it’s just a personal choice and I don’t see anything wrong if others want to go bold in Autumn 😉
