Out of bodysuit experience





bodysuit - Shein
jeans - H&M
boots - Next
bag - Zara





bodysuit - Shein
jeans - H&M
boots - Primark

I was late to get into the bodysuit game.

Whilst I love a good leather trouser or tailored leg, the top half would always be a silk shirt or crop - I never saw what was allegedly so great about the humble bodysuit.

However, obsessively browsing depop one day, I took the plunge. A plunge Boohoo number had caught my eye and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. 

And that was it - sold. 

Striking the perfect balance between 'making a real effort' and 'keeping it cas', the bodysuit is the updated equivalent of the classic, jeans and a nice top. Shoutout to Missguided for spot on reactive marketing.

Anyway, they have become a night-out go-to, and these two from Shein are sure to become firm staples in the overflowing catalogue that is my wardrobe.

(Maybe I need to ease up on the metaphors.)

What item of clothing have you changed your mind on?

New year, not so new me






















Writing about feelings is difficult, especially when they're your own.

I remember when I was younger and I tried to start a diary. Whilst writing the day's events was easy, writing about how I felt just wasn't; instead of noting down my inner most thoughts, I'd write how I thought I should feel and embellish the page with sparkly stickers and gel pen doodles. 

Somehow, in diarised form, I'd created this person that I wanted to be, and that person was most definitely not myself.

Even though I would (presumably) be the only person to read my diarised thoughts, I just couldn't bear to spill my real feelings on to the page. Feelings that were messy and uneven and unable to fit into boxes, certainly not something that would look pretty in my brand new diary. 

Now I'm slightly older, being honest to myself comes a little easier, but it's definitely not natural to me. As with everything in my online and offline life, I'll try and portray the best version of myself, even though I'm not sure who she really is.

This is mainly because my feelings still are messy and uneven and unable to fit into boxes - if in doubt, just smile and wave, right?

But I think now, whilst being honest with myself is something I'm still trying to get my head around, I no longer feel that I need to change. 

Wishing you the best of new year's.
