WHO IS BOITZ AND WHERE SHE FROM?
Boitumelo ‘Boitz’ Motlhatlhedi, a 20 year old young aspiring beauty and fashion model, also doing her second year in Strategic Marketing, at the University of Johannesburg. She grew up in the south side of Johannesburg, but moved around a lot in the early years of her life. Was happy to hear that she also stayed in Alberton for some time, because that is where I stay currently, so we have something else in common besides fashion.
What exposed you to fashion and how?
“I spend so much time on social media, mostly Instagram more than anything, and it exposed me to fashion the most, especially with the explore pages. Then I would try out different looks and different styles. Also Tv, it played a role because of the shows I used to watch, the pop culture grew on me, from entertainment shows to reality shows.”
All photos were sourced from her Instagram.
Boitz has her own unique style of dressing up, whether it’s the combo’s or make-up, she is always looking stylish. I noticed her during my first year in varsity, and she had just started modelling with her twin sister (Lolly), it came so naturally for them. They are both very creative, trendy and just tasteful.
WHO AND WHAT INSPIRES YOUR OUTFITS?
Saying she follows a number of fashion pages on social media, so she has a variety of options to choose from to influence her style. Getting exposed to different fashion ideas through those fashion pages. Also finds inspiration from different people on social media, from local fashion gurus to famous names like Rihanna.
“My feel and my mood, also reflects a lot in the things I wear, the colours and coordination of my outfits. I don’t have specific people I look up to, I just sort of mix different styles with mine and the way I feel; then next thing I have an amazing outfit, darling.”
She says the occasion always determines the outfit she is going to wear on that particular day, in order to look a certain part. Enjoys to match her outfits with her make-up as well her shoes, quite picky with her outfits. I just wonder what she does when she is late for class and has to pick an outfit and catch the bus to school.
BRIEFLY TELL us how long does it take you to pick an outfit?
She laughed first, that giggle made me believe that it isn’t an easy task to do. Then she told me that she looks at certain aspects before she picks out an outfit, like the weather, her mood, the colour scheme maybe as well. Also if she has an early morning or a special occasion, she says “I choose the outfit the day before, so that I don’t take too long or waste time”, also saying that the make-up on it’s own takes time.
