A Break Away

We decided to head away to Elliott Heads last weekend for the May Day holiday.  We went with another family with daughters that are a similar age to my girls which was great as the kids went off on their bikes together to the park and basically had a little bit of freedom which they wouldn't normally have at home.  That's what I love most about camping.  On Sunday, we headed into Bundy for something to do and discovered that not much was open in town, however Rivers has Sunday trading so we went in for a quick look as both Moo and I needed a new pair of Ugg boots for when we go to Cania in June.  I also managed to pick up a couple of things for me as well.

I also bought myself a cardigan, singlet, belt combo which goes nicely with the maxi skirt, I just couldn't find the 'right' shoes but I have a trip to Brissy coming up so I'm sure I'll get something I like.  My goal is to look more feminine.  As I work in industry, my current uniform is black shirt and black pants with steel-cap boots and my previous jobs involved wearing hi-vis clothing (yep, that bright yellow with reflective strips.  YUK!)  Of course, if I'm not wearing my work uniform I'm wearing gym clothes so I have a tendency on the weekend to wear shorts with a singlet because that's what I feel comfortable in.  I love the list of things Meaghan has suggested as they are both comfy but also a little girly.  Of course, she still has shorts and jeans but has given me ideas on how to jazz them up a little.  Now all I need is to have some time to shop!

A Bit Of Style

I decided to reward myself after this challenge.  It's not something I normally do but I felt like it was time, why not?  After seeing Kek's fabulous fashion blogs and tweets, I decided that I needed to get some styling advice of my own.  I have a cupboard full of gym gear but when it's time to go out (even to the shops) I'm at a loss of what to wear.  I have absolutely no idea of what suits me or even if I have a style.  I decided it was a great idea to contact Meaghan for an online consultation.  I have just received my report and am pretty excited to make a start.  No more wearing gym gear to the shops for me!

Fashion Rules?

A friend of mine alerted me to an article in the latest Women's Health Magazine Australia.  I haven't had a chance to read the article yet but the guts of it was about wearing certain clothes that appropriate for your age.  According to my mate, it said that anyone over 30 should not be wearing mini-skirts or shorter shorts.  Really?  I know several women who are well over 30 that rock mini's AND look a damn sight better than a lot of women in their 20's.  I wonder who thinks this sort of rubbish up ... some 20-something who thinks anyone over 30 is "like, soooo old".  Needless to say, there are a few of us who are posting our over 30 bods in mini skirts or short shorts onto their Facebook page.  These people will make up the rules but I think that rules are meant to be broken.
