So I'm following my Doctor's orders, being a good girl, and am off heavy duties of any kind for a month. No carrying, no lifting, no dog walking (rubbish!), no hoovering, no ironing.... Think I can handle that!
Now here's the thing! For a few days I felt so utterly rubbish that I went back to my happy place, my comfort zone. Black. And. Jeans. And a really funny thing happened, I didn't like it. At all. So, even though I'm far from 100% again I've picked myself back up and brought a little colour back. And what a strange coincidence that people think I look so much better!
Jeans look so much better with something pretty!
I got this top for my birthday last year. Wore it once then put in away. Why? Tis quite nice I think.
And this little top is a charity shop number from a few years back. Not worn it for years.
I bought this skirt for £1 a couple of weeks ago, it's a bit big, just sits on my hips and must admit makes me a bit nervous. Can just imagine it falling off (won't be the first time that's happened!) But it's pretty innit? Accompanied by my regulation dark half...!
And this is blurry because I'm a shocking photographer. I was at a Ceilidh tonight (not dancing, or drinking, was a blast...!) and wore this. My friend commented that I'd forgotten my jeans... Sarky!
And I wouldn't normally post a pic of my jammies, but this is to prove a point to myself. Even when I get home from work and instantly take to my bed for a couple of hours because my arm is KILLING ME. I feel better in something pretty. What a lovely mood lifter when you're doped up on painkillers!
Thank you for the lovely comments on my last Post, you all made me feel that little bit better. You really are a lovely bunch, thank you!
Be back soon!

Glad you are following doctors orders! I very much like the pretty top in the first photo, very sweet and fab with your jeans. In fact all your outfits even your jammies looked good!!
ReplyDeleteAm trying very hard to follow the orders... tis a challenge I have to say!
DeleteI agree..jeans do look heaps better with something pretty. Those are lovely and that gorgeous skirt for £1.00 is beyond a bargain. Happy to hear you're doing as the doc says.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love it when there's a half price sale on in a charity shop!
DeleteLove your pretty little top … I'm a huge jeans wearer … as in I wear jeans a lot not that my jeans are huge ;0) … but I do like to wear them with something pretty.

Nothing wrong with jeans, nothing at all. Which is just as well cos I don't see myself stopping wearing them anytime soon! You're very funny by the way...!! x
DeleteLife's so much better when you're dressed in colour. Nobody notices a tired face when confronted with a killer print!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better, keep following the doctor's advice! x
Very true! Am trying very hard to be good, doesn't come naturally though...! x
DeleteGorgeous top in the first pic! Very girlie and perfect with jeans! Glad you're feeling better. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, must say I quite like it, which is funny considering I put it away after just one wear! x
DeleteGood to know your arm is feeling better. Mind those bananas, and the housework!
ReplyDeleteColour is most definitely a pick-me-up, and most people look better in it, I think. Pretty colours and prints, and the occasional skirt - that's what this doctor orders! xxx
Will never carry bananas in a basket again, and funnily enough I'm okay with the no heavy housework rule! x
DeleteSo funny. I used to live in black. I thought it made me look chic and slim. Now it just makes me look depressed. Yay for the wonderful world of color. I love seeing your adorable non-jean outfits but Wendy!!! I also want to see your cute face.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're on the mend. I'm not a jeans wearer, but I am a lover of colourful tops!
