An Outfit

I’ve been hesitating in posting a proper outfit photo, but finally seem to have the balls to do so.
Coming to terms with a completley alien body is a mammoth task, and I feel as part of it I have lost my sense of style, dressing for camoflauge and comfort and foregoing style.

But here we are. An old faithful dress that has been unworn so far this summer. I need to do some major clothes shopping once I am discharged, there has been little point up till now, and although everything I had before is wearable, it looks and feels different and largely gets ignored.

It’s been another lovely weekend. Beautiful weather and time with family go hand in hand.
Yesterday I spent in my hometown, pottering. Today Mum, Dad and myself headed to Matalan where I purchased (or rather Dad did) a pair of floral harem pants.

I hope everyone else has had a great weekend as well,
I look forward to catching up properly from next weekend.

  17. You look absolutely adorable. Good on you for having the balls to do an outfit post.

    Getting a new wardrobe for a revived you seems like a brilliant idea…starting over…Plus, you could always raise the funds for that new wardrobe by doing some ebay selling of old wardrobe. πŸ™‚

    Hope you have a good week. xx:)

  18. I absolutely adore your new wallpaper. So floral and gorgeous, the perfect backdrop.
    More importantly the dress looks lovely on you, I am so glad to see you back x

  22. I know it must be difficult to adjust to a changing shape, I worry about how I`ll cope with it as well.
    Let me tell you though, you look so so much better, that outfit is beautiful on you πŸ™‚

    One word… HOT!!!!

    Loving the pretty room and so glad to see your beautiful face again.

    I sent you a really random email btw

  25. daisy! daisy! i’ve missed you! i have a letter to you going in the post tomorrow πŸ™‚ xx

  26. It’s so, so lovely to see you back blogging, I’ve missed checking in with what you’re wearing.

    Both you and your bedroom are looking gorgeous, and you are of course, as stylish as ever.

    Good luck over the next few weeks, and I’m so pleased to see things are getting better. Oh! And your teeth look fabulous too! Wish I’d gotten a brace at some point! xx

  27. This could be out of a magazine. You look gorgeous, and I love your dress and wallpaper combo!

  28. Sweets, you look absolutely gorgeous. So much healthier and happier.

    Now’s a good time for a wardrobe overhaul though. If the summer clothes are making you feel odd, perhaps now is the time to get rid of them all and start with some fab new autumn/winter stuff. There can be so many weird psychological associations with clothes can’t there?

  29. i love this post so much!

    you rock, darling. great dress, great pose, great YOU! so, so proud of you, my heart is singing!

    its okay if you feel that your style is changing, too. do what you need to do to be comfortable in your new body… which is wonderful, by the way!
