So this is a few pics of my style inspirations, you should have known pin-up was just a bit too pretty...

Day #1

Well i can't say i am off to a flying start, but i have learnt my first important lesson:

applying makeup as your baby screams beside you leads to wonky lip liner, mismatched eye shadow and generally half-arsed application of everything.

Also, my makeup seems to be curling up and hiding from me in fear, or is it just shrivelling with age just like my skin? I also am wearing dirty old ripped jeans and a saggy grey bra.

All this looking in the mirror is making me very nostalgic. I am not too modest to admit that i used to have absolutely fantastic tits. At least i can take comfort in that i really made the most of them by flashing on a regular basis, but those carefree days are sadly gone. Since they now need to be more modestly housed i am determined to upgrade their accomodation. I have cleavage and i'm not afraid to use it. First job of said cleavage is to distract my husband from the bank balance...

In they come

And this is some of the sexy pin up style garb i have ordered (yet to arrive). I am aiming for a total image overhaul, which means a whole new wardrobe. I am sick of wearing the same clothes i have been wearing since my late teens - and they didn't look good on me then either. Watch this space as ardently as i am watching my mail box - and please don't tell my husband i have been buying new clothes...

I plan to make a good part of my new wardrobe myself, but will use these basics to make patterns from. Basically i am a thief.

Out they go

First step is to clear some space in my wardrobe, so out go all the maternity clothes. These are some of the things that were worth selling in online auctions:

A Before Photo

Alot of the clothes i would like to wear are just not good for me, they look good on women that i deeply admire, but with totally different body types than mine - Kate Moss, Jade Jagger, Lou Doillon, MaryKate Olsen, Nicole Richie - women of not much boob. The image above is not me.

My bustline measures 38 inchs, and i am currently breastfeeding.

This is me:

Okay so i had just had a baby, still in maternity clothes, and with not a scrap of makeup (baby is now 9 weeks old) but

1) it is my most recent photo of myself as NO ONE bothers to take photos of me, and

2) i figure worst possible photo makes for more dramatic "before and after" comparison.

I hereby resolve...

...to start getting "dressed" in the morning. By this I mean I will choose an outfit (as opposed to picking up the first thing i see on the floor) and do my hair and makeup... most of the time instead of none of the time. I have decided to embrace the 50's, times when clothes were made for boobs, something of which i have plenty.
First photo to come...
