Thursday the 23rd August - Youthful spring look measured with old-fashioned accents.

No doubt Mahendra’s TV appearance and shout out to the blog still remains a highlight and is hard to surpass, but hopefully the ensuing anti-climax will be forgotten in the cool, fresh, sweet wind of spring.

Tsepiso was blossoming on our sets on the 23rd of August (please excuse the late posting I'm still figuring this out and i felt her outfit simply had to be noted) – the “spring is in the air” feel of the stem-green jacket, (which was mysteriously baggy around the elbows) complemented by the glowing flower necklace. An interesting diagonal tension was created by the asymmetry of the flower on the string, and the angled glance she keeps– revealing only half of her feminine, gently waved hairstyle. This dynamic tension brought to mind the flexible spring of a young green shoot, however, rather than a brittle, old, dry stick about to snap. The lace lining the top of the cream shirt was not a bad idea, however this off-white camisole could have been found in some box in the attic, accompanied by a couple of stained, old photos, a bunch of letters tied with a ribbon and a mysterious sporting trophy.

If you’re going to freshen up the heated newsroom in time for spring, let’s leave the vintage look at home, where it’s cold, because no one has central heating. Um, now can anyone tell me what was actually ON the news? Tsepiso’s blinging flower and purple eye shadow distracted me.
