A while ago I read an article with someone (Lord knows who, the old memory goes blank), but they talked about how when they got out of bed they liked to dress up to a theme and pretend they were someone else.
This struck a chord with me and since then every now and then I wake up and go 'today I'm going to be .....'
Some of my favourite outfits are:
The Fat Out Of Work Ballerina - a black bodysuit with a flippy twirly skirt and ballet flats, often combined with a lightweight knit shrug for when the aircon at work runs cold.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show Mary - High waisted flares with a gorgeous purple flimsy shirt, teamed with 70's chunky heels.
French Miss - quite simply a breton top with black pants (not seen since about 7kgs ago, but still a favourite)
My latest addition? The Kate Middleton.
Inspired by her love of navy, inspired by her simple tastes. And inspired by the budget of a radio copywriter.
Quite simply, a navy frock. Simple black flats (yes she wears heels but she doesn't have to get up and down thirty times a day to voice ads/grab scripts/put scripts in trays/find cds/etc) and a simple piece of bling to fancy it up. Oh, I also actually blow dried and semi straightened my hair for that relaxed yet styled look (it looked good 11 hours ago). The only thing I didn't do? Wear lipstick. I just forgot. Anyway after a hard days work the husband took a pic of me ... I think I'll offically call this the old, tired, haggard, with a wicked five-fingered-forehead, Kate Middleton look ...
