Simply spots...

One of my favourite dresses. It's the simplicity that gets me.

Loosely translates to skinny....

Still high on colour, I finally got to wear two pieces I've been struggling to find the confidence to wear. One - the green top, it sort of made me feel swallowed, like I'm too bony for it. Two - the feathers, just thought - "dramatic". So when I finally got the 'kraag' to rock them, I was so proud of myself. As I walked into one of the lifts at work, some lady I do not know said to me, "I don't like that top on you...", I laughed, thinking we are joking, but NO - straight face and all....Kinda confirmed what I'd been seeing in the mirror, but that didn't dampen the mood :-)

On a mature note...

This one simply brought out the adult in me. Between feeling elegant and enjoying the bold coloured stripes I was reminded that I'm a grown-up ;-)

Fierce is the word...

This one was, unexpected and in passing. Not the photography or the hair-do. The outfit. In a lot of ways, I think it mirrors what having fun can do. Bring out the (good) fierce in us :)

Minty breeze....

This top/blouse is such a breeze. The sun friendly material and more than anything, at least for someone who doesn't often do brights - the bright mint colour. The outfit felt laid-back, although I must mention that the lovely heels are steep. They don't look it, but they are :)

A pop of COLOUR...

On this particular day, I challenged myself. I encouraged my brain to embrace colour.

Femininity unruffled....

This outfit was my biggest reminder in months that I am a woman/I am female. It isn't that the fact is easy to forget, but the feeling of total softness, sex appeal, womanhood and confidence all at once can be rare. On this day, it prevailed solidly.

Weighing on the statement...

This outfit, without a doubt made me feel at ease with my size, shape and weight. It's very easy to assume that someone my size has it easy. That confidence prevails and there are no body or size issues - but trust me, they are just as significant. So, I loved this outfit, not because it was out of this world, but because it felt totally comfy and made for me.
