Mr Price Fashion - How I Shop





I've heard MANY people shy away from purchasing from Mr Price as a lot of  their items come across as "cheap". When it comes to Mr P, I think I've nailed on how to shop there to make your outfits look put together and expensive.

Here are 3 of my tips:

1. The plainer the better

I ALWAYS try to find items with ZERO writing. We all love a good "SWAG" on our crewnecks now and then, but let's  be honest, it can spoil the entire look. I'm always trying to look for items that have no words or images, this gives the look a more expensive feel.


2. Always keep up to date with new items 

If you don't have the MrP App, download it now. It's SUPER user friendly and i'll check it out at least once a week to see the new items loaded. All the good stuff gets sold out quickly and some stuff are only sold online.

Even not just on the app/online, but even in stores: I always walk around the store whenever I am in a mall to see what's new. I have no intention of buying anything, but just seeing what's available can give you so much inspiration. 


3. Fast Fashion Trends

I won't REAAALLLY go buy something from Mr P if i'm expecting to keep it for a long time and hand it over to my future children one day. I'm usually purchasing from them when I see a cool trend and I'm not sure how it will fit my vibe and I want to try an inexpensive version of it. For example, Patchwork jeans are so trendy right now. Do I see it transforming into my staple long term wardrobe? Well, I don't know. Mr P had such a nice and affordable pair for me to purchase and I'm glad I came across it. 

You don't want to get "investment pieces" from Mr P. With saying that, I do get many of my odd basics there such as my plain turtlenecks etc. But if I am looking for something that I know I'd want in my wardrobe forever and I know I'd wear a lot, I'd try a store with better quality even though I am paying more than double the price. 

I am always buying trendy jewelry and hats from Mr Price, but if I am looking for a GOOD fitting jeans that I want to keep for a long time, I'd go somewhere else with better quality.

    

See a look below with some basic pieces from Mr Price.

Happy 46th Birthday Norman Henshilwood

May the odds be ever in your favour... Every year I'm excited for our schools birthday, there's always exciting things happening the whole week!!! This week was also literature week, so there were many things literaturical happening. On Friday, we could dress up as any character from a novel. Last year we could dress up as anything so there was more of a variety to choose from. But it was strict rules that it had to be a book character. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a book worm. The only books I've read was the Hunger Games series. The Hunger Games is my favorite book this far in life, so I've decided to come as Katniss, the main character of the story. I came to school dressed as Tinkerbell, but my friend, that was Peeta (another character from hunger games) with me, brought wet suits so we can change at school. How ironic going from a fairy to a warrior type of girl on fire. I borrowed a bow and arrow from my friend, and if I do say so myself, we look...

Tell It Like It Is | Side Chicks

Side Chicks are totally bad and can ruin your relationship. But, guys, we know you most of you want one. I'm not giving any scientific facts, I'm simply just stating what we were all thinking anyway. Nobody wants to be someone's side chick, am I right? If you think of it, it's not all bad being a side chick (I'm not saying this from experience). I know, who would ever think that being a side chick is actually great? But, seriously, just take the time to think of it. You get the main chick and the side chick. The main chick is the actual girlfriend that everyone knows about and your Instagram selfie buddy with the hashtag #InstaCouple. But then you get the side chick. Not everyone knows about her, probably not even your main chick. But your side chick knows she's your side chick. Okay, so I'm guessing that didn't really convince you that being a side chick is better than the main chick, its probably not. But it has its perks. Metaphorical example: Le...

I've BEEN wanting to wear this coat and pants for the longest time. I took the opportunity when I travelled to Johannesburg ( #CozyInJozi ) recently to build an outfit around these 2 pieces.  Firstly, this coat: SO COMFY. I wore it on the airplane and it felt like a blanket/gown. I feel like it elevates any outfit and it's such an essential piece. It's not the warmest coat ever, it's pretty thin, but I don't mind as it allows me to layer underneath and it gives a more relaxed oversized fit. Okay, the pants. I've been eyeing these at Cotton On ever since it released. The fit of it is amazing and I love the slits at the bottom. I always have this problem when I wear flare pants that You can't see my shoes because my feet are so small. This is a game changer for me and I'll definitely be wearing it more. Especially when summer comes.   Coat-  Cotton On Pants -  Cotton On Fitted Polo Neck -  Mr Price Shades -  Cotton On Boots - Doc Martens ( That Shoe Lady )...
