Don’t Tell Me What To Wear Toya


Toya Delazy/LEGit
I have no beef with Ray Charles granddaughter or anything of that nature.

She's young and successful and from what I see from my flat screen, she's doing what she loves.

If you've lost mother at a young age, I immediately love and want to some how impact your life positively.

It does not matter whether you were raised by a strict Zulu family that did everything within their means to give you a bright future or you spent most of your life moving from one orphanage to another the void that was created by your mothers absence is mutual.

Toya is a beautiful and gifted individual and from what I have gathered she didn't use her famous family name to infiltrate the music industry.

Her uniqueness is talking for her and opening the right doors.

Recently she was announced as the new brand ambassador for LEGit. And I was so disappointed with her winter range. Dark, antique & Texas inspired clothes were hanging on the rack.

I don't want to compare her with the past ambassadors as they have different tastes hayi, Ndiphoxake kodwa its not what I expected.

And it has crossed my mind that maybe I'm not their target market even though I enjoy shopping at LEGit.

LEGit should consider having two ambassadors to cater for their growing clientèle or mix the celeb's style with theirs though that would misrepresent the 'trendsetter'.

Anyway I will visit the shop again to see if 'I have not spoken' to soon.
