At the beginning of the year I never
really thought my life will be this busy.
Being an honours student really changed my life – in the best way
possible. I learned so much of myself
and what I am capable of doing. Juggling the busy academic life with my blog has
only proven to be successful when it is done with passion. Again I realised
that you should not do something just because it is expected of you, do what
you love and you will love what you do.
With my exams that started last week I will be blogging a bit less – to ensure that my full attention will be given
to my academic life. Nevertheless I
thought it is only appropriate to bring my exam fashion wish list, showing all
of you what is most important to me in the exams.

When it comes to writing exams,
comfort is key. My exam papers differ from 5 to 7 hours long, so I have to be
warm and comfortable. With the weather
in South Africa being a bit decisive, it is not always easy to pick out
something to wear due to the fact that the mornings have been really chilly,
but later in the day the weather becomes quite pleasant. So first of all on my
wish list is the cute Rib Cuff Glove which will enable me to still type my exam
papers and my hands staying warm in the process. Next is a hair bun – now this is something I
cannot live without. I do not want my
hair bothering me when writing an exam paper, so this will ensure my hair to
stay in place. I cannot go a day without my glasses, so when I saw these I just
knew I needed an upgrade! When it comes to pants, I am a huge fan of the
jegging as it provides a warm, yet comfortable feeling due to its
elasticity. For some variation I also
added the boyfriend jeans – for those days when I am not in the mood for
something skin tight. Still keeping this look soft and simple I would love to
have all three these tops/coats. First of all is the Wool Silk Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan
where I can pair up basically any top underneath and when the cold strikes, I
can only add a scarf and be nice and warm. Second is the Utility Parka Jacket
in a cream colour. I decided on this
type of jacket instead of a coat as a parka jacket is more movable. Third is
the Colour Block Knitted top in neutral colours such as grey, cream and camel. This will be perfect paired up with any jean
and nude shoes. Last but not least, is the stunning cork and leather briefcase
from the LDJ Collection to ensure that all my books and notes stays in place.

With two exam papers that still lie
ahead I can only imagine all the late nights that I will be having before the holiday
kicks off. With my blogging slowing down, the ideas I have will never end and I
cannot wait to keep you updated on everything fashion.
Have a lovely day and to all the
other young people also writing exams, whether in school or at university, good
luck and remember, hard work pays off.
Have a lovely day.
