Mohawked RockStar

Hey Fabulous Ladies!

Firstly, I would like to apologise for this post's pictures. They are not as clear as the pictures I normally put up on this blog page. This is due to the fact that, the pictures were taken using my blackberry phone instead of Sony Camera. I love these pictures regardless, thats why I thought I should share them with all of you.

I wokeup on this day in a happy mood and that contributed to my mohawk hairstyling for the day. It was a warm and windy day that required a simple and light outfit without much effort and my today's outfit post is exactly my translation of that. So, i have nailed this outfit :)

I mostly like short dresses than long dresses. Maxi dresses are something I mostly avoid due to my short height and too much bottom thickness. This usual results in me hating everything I see when I look in the mirror. What I usually see, is too much wideness around my hips, big bum, big stomach and dwarfism. That makes me panick and change outfits one after the other until i get something that marries the inner me. Then I continue with my activities.

Am sure you all asking why the fuss, I should not care and all but I 100% care. This is because I fear being loooked at and have people judge me. I am a confident person in general and that usually helps as I tackle every issue as they come..

So, on this day the negative energy was not strong enough to discourage me not to wear my Purple Maxi. I managed to see all the good things thus you see this post right now.

When a small devilish voice whisper in my head and try to convince me that I am not beautiful. In these situations, all I do is always to immediately look at my positive message topics (hung on my headbord) with words like Beautiful, Smart, Confident, Hardworker, Active, ChangeAgent, Strong etc. Moreover, I play a dance song and just sing, dance and jump around. Negative vibes immediately vanish and my day is back to normal happy mood. This usually works and dont need more therapeutic services.

Fabulous ladies, how do you cope with negativity when it crops up trying to spoil your mood any day??? Please share your opinions Thank you..

Epauletted Orange Crop Jacket

Hi, again Fabulous Ladies!!!

 

Immediately after returning from Australia during summer I noticed that my bigger sister had this beautiful orange jacket which she bought from one of the West African shops in our town, Fort Beaufort. I had to make a deal with her as I could not get mine as the jackets were out of stock when we visited the same shop. It occurred that she had been eyeing a nice colourful summer dress in Woolworths but still budgeting to get it. So, I offered to buy her the dress which was much more expensive than this wonderful jacket in exchange. Nevertheless, I didnt care about the price of her dress as I was gonna get my perfect jacket and she is my sister. So, both parties were happy after the smooth exchange.

 

Looking at these pictures, I dont regret at all that I pursuid her and traded for something more expensive than the jacket. Getting perfectly fitting jackets is always a hustle for my body shape. I have a small top body against a much bigger bottom. The normal jackets I generally bump into, always make me look bigger and that is an illusion I dont want. If the jacket starts to cover my bum then I run for my life. Besides all that, I have big arms which also contribute to this hardship to locate a perfectly fitting jacket.

 

My Tips if you are expiriencing the same: I look for stretchy materials, something that hits my waist and not go beyond - if it does, it should be just a lil.  I dont mind if the jacket doesnt really close in front sometimes but it should at list be coming closer to the sternum area because you dont want to be walking around looking like an idiot if it doesnt cover half of your breast area. I also like cropped armed jackets, as a result most of the time I even go to an extent of cutting long sleeves into cropped length or send them to a tailor to cut for me. In my mind there is a stamp that says: I look better in cropped arms, lol.

 

This specific jacket, satisfies all my requirements and more. I like the colour against my skin and its brightness really lifts my mood.

 

One big problem I have about this outfit are my shoes. Im normally a flat shoe person exclusively. Ok, it used to be like that. I have just started experimenting with high heeled wedge shoes and still planning to explore high heeled pumps and all that is available in stores. I feel like, if I was wearing a classic high heeled black pump, this outfit could have been perfect. I guess, for now I have to appreciate my ensemble and continue taking baby steps into the world of Heeled Shoes.

 

What is your idea/opinion of a perfect shoe for this outfit? also, What are your tips to get a perfectly fitting jacket?
