My name is Nozuko Poni. I work as an account exec at a creative agency. My style is influenced by African cities, street style and how I feel. As someone who is an introvert, I’ve always used clothing to express myself but I also try and not put too much thinking into an outfit. I love thrifting because it is cheap and works well with today’s fashion.

- I got this dress as one of my birthday gifts last year. I love the designer, Superella, for her quirky and comfortable clothes. It is so versatile that brogues, sneakers or heels work well with it. Here I am wearing it with an old pair of platforms I should probably let go of ( I have fixed them far too many times) and a bag that belongs to a colleague.

- I call this coat my cloak of awesomeness because it gives me so much life. I got it for R20 at the Salvation Army and fixed it up – the pockets were torn. This was the first time I wore it! I wanted a monochrome look that would let the coat shine.

- So this hat is my favourite crown. I’ve barely given it a break since I got it! I am wearing it with pants I got at the local Salvation Army for R10, Zulu sandals I got at a Johannesburg taxi rank market and the jacket is also from Superella. The tote was made by a friend of mine who creates amazing things from recycled cotton dust and fabric.

- I love wearing black! Here I am wearing a skirt a friend got for me while thrifting, shoes I got from another amazing friend and my mother’s beret. Yes, people close to me know I love gifts I can wear!

- How cute is my friend’s little chinchilla? She let me take a picture in it because she knows how much life it gives me. I am wearing it with a cream skirt I got from a Johannesburg market and these shoes that I practically live in. I love how cream and white look when paired together so I wore this white shirt from the men’s section at one of my favourite stores.

- I got this shirt from a colleague who liked a bag he now owns and we did a little exchange. I love it so much, the colours and the print excite me. I am wearing it with platform gazelles.
