South Africa has Lee-Ann Liebenberg and America has Kim
Kardashian. I’m talking about the hottest and the most stylish mommies out
there. I have always admired the utterly sophisticated style Kim K has and for
many years this reality star has graced the covers of fashion magazines, making
numerous appearances on the ‘best dressed’ list. After giving birth to the
adorable North West, you would assume we’d see Kimmy in track-pants or the
easiest outfit to slip into. However, this fashion icon has showed the world
that style does not need to take a backseat when motherhood calls. She has been
my style inspiration for as long as I can remember, coming out with the blazer
as her iconic piece. They say you’re either born with style or you
just don’t have it, which is safe to say that the Kardashian Klan has indeed.
Kourtney Kardashian comes in a close second with regards to my style
inspiration. Kourt is more of a daring dresser, opting for outfits that go on
the eccentric side – something I’m not too confident to pull off. But, she does
have amazing pieces that are well co-ordinated with the sleek look Scott Disick
pulls off.
After teaming up with Kanye, the world saw Kim's wardrobe take a 180 degree turn with Black being an everyday colour. Thankfully she has put the gothic look at the back of her wardrobe for now and has come to her senses. What is great about her recent collection is that the outfits are not over the top, because as we know, less is more. Replicas can also be easily found in more affordable stores for people like me who work on a budget - a budget that is very difficult to stick to! Nonetheless, she gives me great ideas for both formal and casual wear. These are some of my favourite outfits...

My favourite colour, Coral works
well with a tan belt. Perfect colours
for summer. |
Curves and a big booty has never stopped Kim from flaunting
what her mamma gave her. She works well with her figure, choosing items that
best accentuate her hour-glass physique. This pencil skirt neatly carves out
her body and with a simple shirt/top. She also brings back the pointy stiletto
making this outfit look sleek and sophisticated, fit for any occasion during
the day.

Kourtney Kardashian has given birth to two incredibly cute children, Mason and Penelope. She has bounced back into her gorgeous shape. Both Kourt and I share a petite figure - something that is not always easy to maintain. I'm always having to dress in a certain way that gives me extra length. The worst is to look short and plump. One of the ways I do this is to wear skinny jeans, short shorts, leggings or a petite dress. I love following Kourt's mixes and matches. Unlike a few celebrities, she's not afraid to use and reuse certain fashion items.
Kim and Kourt differ in that Kourt dresses down to family outings, where as Kim has to make a fashion statement everywhere she goes. I guess, people turn to her to get fashion inspired, but for people like me who cant afford or simply don't have the energy to doll up to perfection every time I leave the house - I adapt to Kourts laid back style.
Kourt is wearing a
Current/Elliot denim jacket with Vince leggings, a Lanston tshirt, Ralph Lauren
cashmere beanie and Dita sunglasses. I love this whole beanie look and I've
been waiting for winter to wear one. I would pair this outfit with black combat
boots and perhaps add a gold linked necklace or a gold statement watch to bring
some pizazz to the outfit.
She is wearing Alexander Wag shoes, a Prada
diaper bag, black Orchid jeans, Kymerah top and an Elliot Label leather
baseball cap. Kourt blends a punk rock look with a classic black shirt. I love
that the peak-cap look is coming back in style, adding a tomboy edge to it.
This is a simple outfit that anyone can pull off.
Short shorts elongates your legs and that is what I need for my petite size.
Kourt shows a bit of leg with a vintage Levi's jean shorts, Chanel espadrilles,
Lna tshirt from Dash, Hermes bag and Kardashian Kollection sunglasses. This has
been my summer look so far. I either match it up with white converse, the shoes
or the boot. But if i want to be more feminine, I mix it up with thong sandals
and a statement necklace to finish it off. A great wedge sandal would also add
a great deal of femininity.
Although Kourt and Scott may have not yet tied
the knot, they do make a great fashion statement as a couple. Scott is known
for his well-tailored suits, like the real life Chuck Bass. Scott has opted for
the street casual look that I absolutely love on a guy. Kourt is wearing a
Kardashian Kollection top, Bardot pants from DASH, Dita sunglasses, Hermes bag,
Roberto Cavalli booties. I adore this
outfit from top to toe - just the whole colour co-ordination and the
sophisticated ummf it exuberates. The high waisted pants also elongates her figure.
A++ Kourt!
The Kardashians are
bringing back the pointy heels. I'd say it disappeared for a while, being
replaced by the pump heels. I like how Kourt mixes femininity with the masculine
bow tie. Her dress is the key item in her outfit so, she made a great decision
to go for a low-key hairstyle and natural make-up. It can easily be transformed
from an outfit for the office to a night out on the town by adding a blazer or
enhancing her make-up.
We don't need Cavalli Booties or Ralph Lauren beanies to steal some style tips from Kourt. I love how I can pop into TopShop or Cotton On and get the same outfit for cheaper and still have a thousand dollar look. Campus is around the corner and having to choose a suitable , comfortable outfit everyday can leave me lost in thought the night before. So best believe I will be posting these pictures up in my cupboard for my daily dose of Kardashian style inspiration.
