HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!!
NOW that Monday and its blues are behind us, my hopes are for a blissfully warm week for all. I'm fortunate enough to be home all week and therefore will be spending my time exploring the possibilities in my new found passion - or should I say re-kindled passion. Flashback years ago to boarding school in Zimbabwe, taking a course in Fashion and Fabrics was mandatory for my stream, (well either that or Agriculture, which loosely translated to spending all afternoon in the garden doing work...-hmm maybe NOT) so Fashion and Fabrics it was. The module back then was vastly limited to replicating our uniforms or general clothing but it is here that I discovered my passion for sewing.
THE art of transforming a simple garment into wearable art amazed me. It is a wonder- I had a passion for cooking also but I digress. This passion then took a backseat when we moved abroad and shopping came the forefront ~ I'm sure many ladies can relate.... Overtime, a deep desire to connect with my roots, my past and to also find the woman in me, sewing came back into my mind. I discovered that I can express my Individuality through my style and what I create. I was only an mature then and still am now. This is a journey of discovery that will undoubtedly take time to master.
When i first laid eyes on the floral-print fabric, I knew what I would do with it. And when the maxi skirt came out just as I envision it, I wanted to celebrate this creation. What better way to celebrate my creation than to wear on my visit to the tallest Man-made building in the world! Atop the BURJ KHALIFA!
Thank you for reading in and enjoy the pictures. If you have read this far and were entailed by the blog ~ subscribe for more updates and content. Oh and also a big shout out to my colleague Lisa, an amazing photographer who spent half the time up at the Burj taking pics of me
Many thanks
