streetstyle: more minimal, MBFWA 2013

streetstyle: more minimal, MBFWA 2013

It’s another cold miserable winter day here in Wellington, so what better way to pass the time than going through images while drinking copious amounts of tea. Of all the ensembles that I saw during Fashion Week, this was by far one of the more minimalist looks – a breath of fresh air from the cacophony of colour, prints and textures. Get the look:

I’m that girl who will go up to a stranger on the street just to ask them where they bought a pair of shoes, and when I spotted Tessa-Jay of blog Circa Now in this leopard on leopard combo, my reaction was just the same. When I probed her about her outfit, she mentioned she picked both pieces up from Grace Boutique in Melbourne – their in-house label.
