On feeling gross ... and then not so gross

Yesterday was one of those days where I just felt horrible about myself. You know those days where you throw something on that looks somewhat respectable, slap some makeup on, and tie your hair back in a messy bun? Now most days, I would be quite fine with the minimal effort I had put in but yesterday whenever I passed a mirror I felt frumpy and ugly. My hair was giving me the shits - unstraightened with little curly bits popping up (and out) everywhere, not to mention the FRIZZ.

I didn't fancy feeling that way today so put the effort in (still not much effort) to at least be somewhat happy with my reflection in the mirror. And I feel 500% better for it. I am forever indebted to the inventor of the GHD. What a genius that person was.

This dress would have to have had the most wears of any dress in my wardrobe. It's a blue juice number I picked up at Myer on sale for a specific occasion and thankfully has served me for many more specific and not-at-all specific outings.

It's nearly the weekend - hooray!

  3. That's a gorgeous dress and love that jacket too.
    I'm finding it so hard to dress up these days as well and it does make me feel a bit horrible sometimes.

  6. I felt that way almost my whole pregnancy. Damn hormones! Once the baby popped out, I was fine!

  7. I feel like that most days... and I'm not even pregnant.
    And don't even get me started about my hair...
    For what it's worth I think you looked wonderful - love all the colour and the spikey necklace. It really gives your outfit an edge :)
