The bag
The small sling bag is the perfect date for any outfit. And who knows, it may even help suppress your hoarding tendencies...

Shop - so many dresses to choose from at Superbalist.com

A vampy red wine lip is still the way to go in case you want to add some edge to your look. Fake it and exude that old money vibe (even though you might just have R200 in your bank account).
Shop - Smashbox Be Legendary Matte Lipstick in Screen Queen, R280.

This quintessentially '70s colour trend goes beautifully with pastels in a dreamy, unexpected way to create a summer wardrobe palette reminiscent of Solange Knowles' everyday aesthetic.
Shop - Mango Hi-Lo hemline dress, R712 at Spree.co.za

Shop - MRP white denim shorts, R100.
