It happens every time.
Tuesday, September 25, 2012After a few busy weeks I should have seen it coming. I slowed down, started to relax a little and then I became ill. I got a cold, swiftly followed by a bout of sinusitis. It happens every. single. time.
So, three days off work, plenty of relaxing and lots of sleep and I'm feeling much better. Well, I say I relaxed but I didn't, not really, I never do. I always feel that there is something I could be doing, no matter how grotty I feel. So I pottered about doing this and that, emptying bins, sorting through mail, hacking back rampant pumpkin plants (yes, really). I know I'm not the only one to do this when I'm ill (not taking it easy rather than the pumpkin thing). I bet you do it too, don't you? Why can't we just sit still and do nothing?
Anyway here is my outfit for Inspiration Monday. I think that the Two Birds are responsible for most of the wear that these jeans get. They're often selected for Inspiration Monday (see here, here and here).
I love Olivia's use of colour but emerald blazers and yellow jeans aren't really my thing so I went for a more muted version.
It has become apparent to me that taking outfit shots outside is about to become more difficult. Whilst I was still in need of sunglasses the wind and humidity did strange things to my hair. This was the only photo of approximately 30 photographs where I look remotely normal.
Love

i am the same way...i feel guilty if i'm just sitting around, even if i'm sick. who knows why?? i hope you're feeling better now! and i do love these jeans on you, so i'm glad IM is prompting you to wear them often!
ReplyDeleteI do feel better now thank you. I don't know why I seem to forget the existence of these jeans as I really like them!
DeleteWell I think you look lovely hun, but your are right the weather is awful at the mo. None of us rest as we should. I think its a woman thing to be truthful.

DeleteI think you're right, we just seem to keep going no matter what...
I hate taking outfit photos at this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better x
I am feeling better now thanks, although my first day back at work has tired me out.
DeleteI love the natural light if taking pics outside bit it just gets so problematic as the weather turns... *sigh*
Because we feel that life is so busy that we can't possibly let it continue at high pace without us, sorry to hear you've been ill. You look very pretty, love that jacket!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks. The jacket is ages old but never lets me down :-)
DeleteToday it was sunglasses on when the sun was out and the next minute off as it was pouring with rain! Great use of colour by both you gorgeous girls!
ReplyDeleteHa I totally do that too - had 2 days off work last week and boyfriend would ask me if I'd slept during the day and I'd look at him like he was mad. Of course I didn't, I pottered my little head off!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment x
