Sometimes I feel a little vain taking so many pictures of myself all the time. I remind myself of one of those Bueno commercials about raising the bar for indulgence. (see it here if you don't know what I'm taking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01fVq039NB0 it's probably one of the best ads I've seen) I may of never spent 8 hours at a spa or spent nine dollars on a coffee, but I have spent 6 hours at a spa and spent at least five dollars on a coffee. I occasionally think I could probably find a cure for cancer or something wonderful if I didn't devote so much time getting ready in the morning, lol, but then I catch a reflection of myself in a mirror and lose my train of thought.
Meh, so maybe I am a little vain. For so long I didn't like myself very much, I figure I'm allowed to make up for it now. I definitely still have self doubt about other parts of my life, but I'm pretty at peace with my looks. Of course there are moments that falters a bit and obviously if I could somehow give myself clearer skin and a flat stomach magically I would. But there's not very much I'd change about myself if I could. My nose is a little big, lol but it matches my big hips. I might be kinda pale, but in the past women would apply lead to their faces and eat chalk to achieve this ghostly pallor. Plus I've got a pretty good rack, nice calves and I like my smile.
One of my friends was reading my post the other day about my wild and untamed backyard and asked if that meant I was going to fix it all up and take pretty picture. lol, this ain't that kind of blog. This is a blog about self indulgence, not self improvement.

Well at least you referred to me as a friend and not the stupid, confused nincompoop, whom interrupts conversations with completey irrelevant statements and spends the rest of the time laughing at the blurted out thought...haha - Love the blog and if you ever for any reason find time in the morning to create a cure for anything then forget cancer and work on the magic flat stomach you were talking about because I'm gonna need it to fit into the trash dress..hahahaha
ReplyDeletei love that blue!! what a great dress I love it! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you & merci!
ReplyDeleteNetta: lol, your irrevelant statements are why we're friends.
Ha! I know the feeling. I take picts of myself all the time and I have more picts of myself than I have of my boyfriend :P
ReplyDeleteAt lease your doing something good with your picts. My picts gather dust cause most of them are face close ups and I rarely use them even though Im trying to get my blog running.
Oh glory of glories, that green and blue combo is delicious. I am all about pre primary (kindergarten) colours at the moment, but most of my bright clothes are summery and the sun here in London just will not put his hat on! Oh well...maybe soon I will get to wear my green and blue (and red and yellow...)PS I WANT that necklace
ReplyDeleteA. You look amazing as always.
ReplyDeleteB. Aren't all fashion bloggers vain?

You look great and don't feel like you're being vain. Just think about all the other young girls you are helping to embrace their bodies through all your great fantastic looks.
ReplyDeletewe're all vain girl! lol! just have fun with it and dont take it too seriously. besides, u look fab and ure outfit just brightened up my day ... see ... its not all vain i guess ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks dolls :)
ReplyDeleteGypsy: I love my primary colours too. I don't do pastels, It has to be rich or bright shades.
Savonne: That's so sweet, thanks so much.
That cardi/shrug is super cute. I love that color. Because of your coloring, you can pull off such bright color. I know what you mean about making-up for things now. I think being happy with who you are, now, and appreciating yourself as you are is so important!
ReplyDeleteWoho! this dress really gives me the summer feelings! :D nice outfit! :D you're doing SO well in this challenge! yay...not many days left. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love this colour combo and that ring is too cute.

LOVE those tights and the colours in this! I love how it all matches. Great accessories to!
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you're coming from. I feel pretty vain too. My sister always likes to tell me i'm conceited for taking so many pictures of myself all the time. I kind of start to see her point when I upload over 100 pictures of myself at a time...but it's not like i'm going to let that stop me. ;)
your stockings are fabulous!! :)
