Hiya everyone
I have not been feeling myself of late and rather depressed if I am honest. This is something I really don't like to go on about too much as I don't want people to think I am self centred as I know a lot of people have a lot worse problems.
Thing is I will be 40 later this year and maybe I am going through a midlife crisis but I feel like I want to be the old me again, the cheery 'slim girl' with the funny quirky personality, lately however I feel fat, middle aged and frumpy. It does not help that I constantly seem to be ill with one thing or another. I know its the demons I need to battle myself as other people would probably not say this about me but its how I feel inside!! Also I am suffering with severe anemia at the moment and I am taking iron tablets which also make me feel rather sick plus I have to take not just 1 a day but 2!

Today Mike and I went to this little village near where we live and they have lots of little cute shops and some charity shops.
This was my outfit - rather plain but I like it nonetheless.
Cream Ponte Dress - H&M
Mink Belt - Dorothy Perkins
Mink pumps - Topshop
Tights - Primark
In the St Peters Hospice I fell in love with this gorgeous bracelet and at only £1.95 it was a snip.
It has a couple of stones missing but still I think its rather stunning.
I was trying to take the photo in sunlight as the stones are so sparkly!

I like to think this belonged to a little old lady, thats what I love about charity shops, things have a history. Its really heavy too and yes it may only be diamonte but in my opinion its rather beautiful.
Have a lovely weekend

ReplyDeleteI think everyone feels a bit down at times. I definately feel frumpy and awful some days, since having Seb some days i don't even get the chance to brush my hair! x
I too have been feeling down, it's a awful feeling isn't it :(. You're sooo not frumpy, your really slim!! Love the bracelet, so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteOh god I was just going to say that your body is amazing, I cannot believe you are going to be 40. You do NOT have my permission to feel fat, because you are far from that!! I love your outfit by the way and that bracelet is precious, I love things that have some history. x
