What, so now double denim is fashionable??! This is why I don't follow trends. No matter what the magazines are advertising & the stores are selling if you're not sure about it, don't wear it!
In five yrs time it'll be the fashion slaves & models in the magazines that you'll be looking back & laughing at, not yourself.
Fashions fade, STYLE IS FOREVER!
Went shopping in Paddington, Brisbane today and found an awesome hat at The Endeavor Foundation store.
If like me, your body forgot to grow boobs but you still want to wear a sexy, slightly revealing summer outfit this party season, never fear! A back can be JUST as sexy as cleavage. And thanks to stick on bras we can wear a dress that shows off our back and still pretend that we have boobs at the same time.
These are a few dresses that I absolutely love and coincidentally both are from perfume advertisements.
If your skin is as pearly white as mine and you are of a mature age (aka over 19) then you know that protecting your shoulders in Summer is very important.
And nobody wants the hassle or the greasiness that comes with applying sunscreen every 4hrs, so I've found a practical & fashionable solution; white girl shirts.
Most of my short sleeve, collared blouses (which I've named "white girl shirts") have been given to me as hand-me-downs from my Nanna & Grandma and I love them. 100% cotton is most comfortable in the warm Australian sun and if the blouse is long enough you can make a knot at the bottom for a more modern (or rather 80s) look :)
Here's a few cool "white girl shirts" I've found recently. The brighter and crazier the print the better!
The first top is located at hickorees.com, the second at svpply.com and the third at etsy.com (80s shirts).
I am more of a visual person and prefer to use images rather than describing things through words.
So below are two images. The first depicts how I feel when I wake up in the morning and the second depicts how I feel when I realise that after eating some bfast I can take some pain killers that will eventually start to reduce my pain :) Yeaha happy dance!
The other day I felt so stiff and paralysed that I couldn't get myself out of bed til 12:30pm.
I don't know why but every now and then I go to bed feeling relatively pain free and then when morning comes my body feels like it weighs about 200kg. Simply moving my leg a few centimetres takes all of my strength and then I fall straight back to sleep because I also feel incredibly exhausted.
It's almost as if there is an elephant lying on top of me and as much as I want to I just can't move until he decides to get off.
The only reasoning I can think of is that despite my efforts to not sit or stand for long periods & stretch everyday, my muscles have stiffened up to the point that they don't have the strength to pull me out of bed after a good nights rest.
The easiest way to loosen them up & get them working again is to lie on my electric heat mat, but of course when Mr. Elephant is sitting on top of me there's little chance of me being able to sit up and place the mat under my back :s The picture below is me under the elephant (with my ruby red slippers) and of course I had to add a fashion related elephant image underneath.
OMG I love Pip & Pop art creations and Jaime Lee demi-couture clothing designs. Together they tickle my happy bone & make my heart sing! la la la!
I don't have the energy or pain threshold to go into detail about how I've been feeling the last few days. Basically aching, stiff, unable -to- relax muscle soreness. These images are a glamourised version of how my body feels.
Why must a rainy or overcast day result in my joints being stiff and my muscles aching (aka a chronic pain flare up)?
I woke up both Saturday & Sunday morning with strong muscle pain and I didn't realise until Sunday afternoon that it was probably because of the weather conditions.
I don't understand how it works exactly but it's freaking annoying. Just because the earth needs some water I have to endure the aches and use all of my willpower to keep my tinman body moving so that I can get things done.
In the future I think all overcast &/or rainy days should be an international rest day for all chronic pain sufferers.
And as Mother Nature delivers the weather she shall also deliver a massage therapist & cup of hot chocolate to each silent sufferer :)
Add some glitter to your make up tonight and you can go out and shake your shiny tail feather.
Eat a spoonful of glitter and you'll also be shining both inside and out ;)
