This yellow romper is loose, lightweight and totally chic. She accents the one-piece with all black accessories.
Kym Ellery keeps things in check with a scarf-print pair of pants. Simple, black pairings let those pants really shine.

We’d love to look like we’re on the way to a fashion workout. Thanks for the gymspiration, Michelle Wilson.
Lola Odetola is tomboy on top, girly girl below. The key is to make sure the lines of each are pared-down and on the more structured side.

Thando Hadebe shows us a great way to wear a pair of overalls …. with a printed shirt, simple sandals, and a smile.
Sometimes it’s hard to look both sexy and cute, but this outfit accomplishes just that! The chevron halter top shows her entire back, but isn’t overly sexy paired with some black shorts, a small clutch, and casual sandals.
With an oversized denim vest and slick shades, this stylish civilian knows how to keep a collared dress casual and proves denim looks good with polka dots! Mix a dotted dress with a denim vest for a grunge yet girly look.
