Teeny Tiny Floral Print {She Wore What}
This is one of my Saturday morning, hanging out and writing, usually in a cafe somewhere outfits. Casual, comfortable and fun, it’s the first day of the usually that I get free reign over what I wear. I like to keep the fabrics light {even on a cooler day like this one was} and layer them on.…

Day 7: Find a Role Model #ConfidentYou
You know that person. Thoooooose people. You pass them in the street, see them on TV or have known them your entire life, the people who just oooooze confidence. You see them walk into a room, head high and striding through the door and you think, wow! Those people. Or maybe for you it’s a…

Day 6: Hold Your Head High #ConfidentYou
If you met me today you would probably describe me as warm, welcoming, huggable, soft, squishy even. This hasn’t always been the case. There was a time when if you were to choose a word to describe me you probably would have chosen intimidating, aloof, closed, hard and cold. You see my way of protecting…

Aussie Curves: Polka Dots {She Wore What}
Well hello there. Did I tell you about my sister’s aversion to all things spotty and dotty? Well she hates them. Cute on kids, she says, but silly on grown ups. For ages I never really even picked up anything polka dotty in store without a chuckle. Then I picked up a spotted shift style…

Day 5: Presentation Time #ConfidentYou
There was this one night that something shifted for me. I had shoulder length orange/blonde hair, badly fitting jeans and an old cardigan on. I’d had a few drinks with my sister, her partner and my husband and we were heading OUT. I added some heels to my outfit and felt okay. Good enough, I…

Day 4: Clean Up Your Life #ConfidentYou
Less than a month ago I confessed that our lives had gotten out of control. The tax returns hadn’t been filed in almost three years, the junk was piling up and even the dishes seemed to be getting done a little less regularly. Life was winning and beating us down with its stuff to do.…

We are going to try and sew stuff…
Hubby and I are hanging out at home tonight, he’s watching boy tv and I’m flicking through Pinterest and various online clothes stores. Lately we’ve been joking about sewing my clothes because I’m such a fuss bum. Jess went ahead and started her own line, my friend Desiree is a bit of a sewer. I’m…

Day 3: Find a Cheer Squad #ConfidentYou
Find people who love you. Or think you’re ok at least. And tell them of your mission for more confidence. This alone will take something. Telling people that you are working on your confidence takes admitting that it needs work. I’d always been quiet good at putting on a brave front. A plastered face of…

The Siren Skirt – Take Two {She Wore What}
It wasn’t that long ago, while I was at ProBlogger actually, that I was showing off this skirt with a fitted peplum top and a chunky necklace. You’ll notice the photos are in the same place, same hair and make-up. Originally I’d planned to wear this orange blouse with the skirt but decided I was just…

Day 2: You Are Here #ConfidentYou
This is the first of the challenges that will be scattered through the posts. This IS the You Are Here Quiz. In more boring language you could consider this to be a self audit. A reflection on everything you are, that you aren’t and that you hope to be. It’s time to set some goals for this…
