The dress. The bolero. The prints. The scarf. The ooomph.

Hi sweethearts!

Do you feel that you have a look?

I would describe my look as bohemian chic with an egde.

(A somewhat crazy one as previously established LOL)

These are my five key elements.

1 The dress

I only have dresses. I adore wearing them. I sew lots of them my self. 

I always make sure they really work for my shape and colouring,

I don`t wear them unless they make me feel fab.

That is frocktastic self respect for you LOL

2 The bolero 

Cardigans don`t work on my body, tummy and all. Bolero`s on the other hand work a charm :D

I sew them from cushioncovers and scarves and whatever else I feel like.

They are so simple to make, take a look at my tutorial if you want to have a go your self :)

3 The prints

OOOOh yes.

Can`t get enough of `em.

I used to think I couldn`t wear them, being fat/curvy/well endowed/what ever.

In short, those days are over LOL

Leopard, snake, florals, stripes, dots.

Preferably all in the same outfit :D

4 The scarf

I have truckloads of them.

For valentines last year I moved half of them to the basement. The joy on my husbonds face was immense.

Until he realized they weren`t actually gone. Oh dear. LOL

They are such an easy way to change up an outfit, and also very handy for those oh-shit-what-to-wear-let-me-whip-up-a-dress-or-a-turban-moments LOL. Ever get those?

5 The ooomph

Well what is the point of dressing up if not to enjoy it and make the most of it?

Honey, those leopard prints down own me,

I make them work for me! :D

Also, in those moments when I loose my confidence mid-stride in

some unusual creation turning on the ooomph by singing/rapping

"I got big back and I can not lie.. dududududududuu" 

while swaying my hips and flicking my hair

helps me get my mojo back.

LOL

Tell me sweethearts, what are your 5 staples?
