Trosalynn's Closet Envy

I must say I enjoy having a blog, it’s similar to my old fashioned diaries just a little modern. Recently I was going through some old pictures from back in the day, I actually missed one of myself because I thought nah that can’t be me vacationing in Durban in the 90s while on school holiday from Nashville Tn , I had flawless caramel skin from head to toe, wearing a size 6 Gap floral dress I used to love, with a short pixie Halle Berry / Toni Braxton hair do that I can’t imagine seeing myself do in this day and age. I actually pulled it off. I may have to upload that picture. I guess with my 3 year old blog, the best and possibly worst part about keeping this timeline of moments in my life through fashion is that it is a public diary. Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun thing to do but also funny when one looks back on older posts and sees how much has changed and even how different I look . The early posts are slightly embarrassing though they help me see where I have progressed in my l...

I tend to turn to Grey when I need something to pair my black colour pieces with when I have exhausted most options or am bored of my look. Funny enough I have a few grey tops and bottoms that I usually wear in winter and want to spruce up every once in a while for those dull winter days. It is usually not an easy colour for most to pull off but like I always say in fashion anything is possible. Jazz Up That Colour… A few suggestions I have tried and hope to explore in the near future:- • I like adding a little bit of shine to my grey pieces when I purchase them like having a few pieces that have some sequins in them, satin or threading that shines(glitter thread)through usually helps take away that dull look of grey skies, • One of my favourite options that I use on a regular as well as in this posts picture is grey and black although grey and white also works just the same. In my case the skirt is more of a charcoal grey and pairs well with my black top as shown. Though not a...

Hello HH's This beautiful color may have been made famous by Carrie Bradshaw in SATC when she wore the infamous Blue Manolo’s but I must say the last few weeks of March when my boyfriend and I were shopping in Mango at Sandton City Mall is when this little jacket caught my attention. I may save the shoes for my something blue on my wedding but this jacket sure has my heart for the meantime and my Zara Handbag from DC just adds that little oomph in my winter step. This color is so amazing and is my current color crush. Though it’s been mainly linked to being a winter color, there are summer pieces that work in this color as well. I like to tone it down somewhat when I pair it during weekdays for work, but wear it as loud as I want to on weekends. I go for a darker combination color such as black for the office as shown in my outfit post today just to make it blend in the corporate world. I am on the lookout for some cobalt blue pants I could possibly pair with a white tank top for...
