On April 18th I was invited by the Soroptimist International of Osoyoos group to participate in their Step into Spring - Soroptimist Spring Fashion show. I along with the Osoyoos Royalty and Viv all wore outfits from the Wander Home & Cafe in Osoyoos. The Fashion show was being held at the Watermark Beach Resort in their conference room and our Green Rooms were in some of the hotel rooms.We shared our Room with Models from Valanne Style as well as a group from Unity Osoyoos.
When I first got into the room I noticed that our clothing was laid out in the living area of the Hotel room & the other two groups each separate bedrooms.
The Osoyoos Royalty committee member in attendance had beautifully arranged all of the Royalty clothing on the couch! So it was like walking into a pretty rainbow of clothing.
On the official call list our group was number 5 and 14. So we had plenty of time to get ourselves ready in between outfits.
Once I arrived and got settled I laid out my clothing and finished my makeup before getting into my first outfit.
My First outfit was a white Strapless summer dress with Red and Yellow flower pattern. It was paired with a coral sweater and pink hued accessories and lastly I carried a Pink Asian inspired Fabric Umbrella with painted yellow flowers.
For my next outfit it was themed BIG and BOLD and I got to wear a BRIGHT Highlighter Yellow dress which I absolutely fell in love with and ended up buying. It was paired with a Big Red & Black zebra stripped bag and red/black/yellow coloured Jewelry including Peacock Earrings.

I would like to once again thank the Osoyoos Soroptimist club for inviting me to participate and for Wander Cafe for lending me the outfits to wear! Lastly thanks to Watermark for providing the Bright and very clean green room.
I was extremely lucky to be wearing Clothing provided by the Wander Home & Cafe Osoyoos in the Step into Spring - Soroptimist Spring Fashion Show on April 18th. I was really excited to be wearing clothing from Wander because they have such an eclectic assortment of clothing, accessories and jewelry. I went in early on Morning and picked several outfits but pretty much fell in love with the first two I tried one.
One was a gorgeous white dress with a red flower pattern. It was a strapless style but with an elastic band fit and tie in the back which gave it a more fitted look & helped to make you feel secure. I also liked it because it was a sturdier fabric and not overly flimsy so it would be perfect for those slightly breezy Summer days. This first dress was priced at $45.00 but I really feel like it would be worth it to pay that much because it was such a decent quality dress. Plus it was so versatile and could be worn up or dressed down to be worn in a more casual setting.
I wish I could better describe the materials but basically this is an attempt to show you the texture of my First Summery style outfit that I wore. To pair the white dress we choose a thin coral sweater. For accessories we choose Pink hues along with Rose Quartz and to top it all off we decided on a Pink Asian inspired parasol/Umbrella. I will now post photos of my outfit and the individual pieces.
The hand painted Coral/Pink coloured Umbrella with Yellow flowers and white tassels
The pink layered woven cord type necklace with Silver Beading detail.
The beaded Rose Quartz Flower bracelet. What was really neat about this piece is that the metal is fully pliable and thus adjustable. Which also makes this bracelet versatile because you could hypothetically mold it to fit your wrist or even form it to fit your fore arm if not your upper arm for an arm cuff look. This bracelet is such a gorgeous statement piece! I really did love it.
I really loved both of my Rings which kept in theme with shades of Pink. I wore a Hot pink leather rose Ring that had a fully adjustable metal band. I also wore a really intricate Pink beaded ring that had a band made of the same material as the black swirl. I believe that this ring looks like a Butter fly. I think the thing that is so great about this ring is the fact that it looks so different if you wear it with the black swirl facing down or up. It truly changes the aesthetic of the ring depending on how you choose to wear it.
For my second outfit it was more of BIG and BOLD theme with the entire look from head to toe being one Giant Statement.
It was a Bright yellow think fluorescent or Highlighter Yellow dress that included a black and red pattern and had a racer back style with thick straps in the front. It had a bit of a fitted top with a bit of a drop waist bottom and it also included pockets. The pictures I have included show how different the colour of the dress appears in different light settings. The bright pictures were taken in natural light and the lighter shades of Yellow were the dress in an indoor lighting. I actually really fell in love with this dress. This dress cost $40 and I fell in love with it so much that I actually bought it.
To pair with the dress we continued with a BIG and BOLD theme and choose bright jewelry that were red and black but also included Long Peacock feather earrings - because why not. To add one last big bold thing we paired it with a Red zebra stripe and black Zebra Striped purse.
The Necklace I wore was a fitted multi layer red, black and gold beaded choker. To me it reminded me a bit of something Cleopatra might have worn. Although it was super fitted it wasn't at all uncomfortable to wear!
For bracelets we continued with a Red, Black and Yellow theme. We choose a multi layered black beaded cuff and 2 woven red & 1 red and gold woven bracelets that were actually pretty cool. They were fully pliable and could bent in any shape. Which means they are super versatile even more so that the Rose Quartz bracelet from the first outfit. Plus the giant black end beads really went well with the black beaded bracelet.
As I mentioned I got to wear these really gorgeous Peacock feather earrings. They actually really blended into my hair really well so in stead of an earring from some angles it looked as if they were woven right into my Hair!
Lastly as I said I modeled a giant Red and black Zebra Stripe bag for my last Big and Bold accessory with this outfit.
I would like to again say a HUGE thank you to Wander Home & Cafe in Osoyoos for allowing me to wear such beautiful clothes and accessories in the fashion show. I truly loved being able to represent your brand and rock your clothes as a Model in the Step into Spring - Soroptimist Spring Fashion Show!
