Off Duty

Finally, after months and months of waiting, my crochet dress from Emma O. Clothing has finally arrived. This isn’t your ordinary crochet dress. All of Emma O. Clothing’s crochet items are handmade in South Africa. The sales from these items help families in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. Isn’t that wonderful? This isn’t just about fashion. With every item you buy from Emma O. Clothing, you get to help an underprivileged kid go to school and make a brighter future. Emma O. Clothing kind of reminds me of our local Rags2Riches and the well-known brand TOMS. It makes me feel so happy that more and more people are doing their part to help. Do your part as well! Emma O. Clothing ships worldwide so you can take part in this great endeavor too! Help a little kid or two why don’t you! :)

As part of Emma’s efforts to spread the word, I’ve been seeing quite a lot of support from fellow bloggers. A lot of them have been rocking their crochet pieces so I’m sure you can already see how versatile these crochet pieces can be. Here’s another way to style a crochet dress.

A little bit raw and undone–that’s what I was going for. I wanted to show you just how easy crochet dresses are, even when dressed down. It doesn’t always have to be bohemian or flower child-inspired, there are countless ways to style them!

The stylist in me hates that I forgot my aviator sunnies at home. Sigh. It would’ve looked great with this ensemble! Can you imagine it? :)

    I love the way you ‘styled’ it. It’s so sophisticated and not the usual boho look with matching headbands & ripped shorts. haha. genius!

    Hi camille! I love this crochet dress on you. It suits you well. What brand and shade of lipstick did you use?

    The crochet detailing is really beautiful, I can see why you like it. I also like that you styled it with a jacket that has some harder metal detailing in it, it’s a nice contrast without being too out of place. Thanks for sharing and hope you’ve had a lovely week! xx

    Awesome!! It has never came to my me that crotchet dresses can be paired like that! I usually do it with cardigan and ballerina flats which gets boring after awhile. Thank you for the tip Ms Camille!

    Hurray for fashion retailers that strive to help the underprivileged and the environment!;) Love your shoes btw!

    This is quite a treat. Seeing you dressed down and so casual… And yes, Ray-Ban Aviators would have won this over. And it’s nice to know that fashion houses helping directly under privileged families directly are still making breakthroughs apart from the usual headlines of sweat shops in Philippines, China and other 3rd world countries.

    Maybe I should pick one up for my friend. :)

    Hi, Ate Camille! I adore you so much!! I’m just wondering, why didn’t you study Fine Arts? Were you good in drawing so you didn’t have to study? If no, how did you learn to draw? :) xoxo
