Another challenge Day 3 #BEDM

Today I accepted a new challenge. A friend of mine posted an album on facebook with the text "30 day chalenge of wearing dresses and skirts."
I commented ; ‘Sounds cool’ and before I knew it, she challenged me to do the same.
And I decided to accept. I don’t have a lot of dresses and skirts but I’m going to give it a try anyway.
I used to love wearing dresses / skirts to church. Nice long ones. But I don’t have a lot of those anymore.
And today when I looked through my wardrobe, deciding what to wear, I realized that a lot of dresses / skirts actually needed to be washed so the best I could do was to wear a short dress with a legging. It's not my favourite way to wear a skirt or dress but I sometimes do.
So after taking a shower and co-washing my hair, that is what I put on.




It is the same dress that I had on last Summer when the girls and I were in Romania. Only then I was a few kilograms lighter.




I realized that accepting this challenge also meant, that I would have to really try and do my best more with my hair and make -up. A lot of days, I leave the house without looking in the mirror, just grabbing a top and a pair of pants to put on. Now since part of this challenge is to take a picture of you in the outfit and I would like to look a little nice on the pictures, that is not going to do anymore.
It actually felt good to do and I guess it was time that I started to make more effort to look representable on a daily basis. So I am really happy with this challenge.

Did you recently accept some kind of challenge ? (other than BEDM) What do you think about the 30 day dress/ skirt challenge ?

Love and blessings,

The skirt/dress challenge would truly be a challenge for me to but it's good to switch things up every now and then I suppose!

Just dropping by from BEDM.

Mummy, I need your 'pookie'

It’s World Breastfeeding Week from August 1st to August 7th 2013 and this year’s theme is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers. You can read more about it on http://worldbreastfeedingweek.org . The focus is on community support, particularly in the form of peer-to-peer support. To show support for World Breastfeeding Week, the Irish Parenting Bloggers group is holding a blog march about varied breastfeeding experiences, including experiences with breastfeeding support in Ireland. This inspired me to write a post about breastfeeding as well. My breast feeding journey When I was pregnant with my first child, I decided that it would be a great idea to combine breast- and bottle feeding. But in the hospital they convinced me how healthy and important it was to breastfeed exclusively and then I decided to go that road. I got a breast pump to express milk so my baby could get a bottle with breast milk when I was out and about or for the scarce times that I would leave her...

An interview with ' moi'. Ask Away Friday with Meg from The Patchwork Paisley.

One of my favourite bloggers and my new blog friend Meg, asked me to participate in this new link up called Asked Away Friday hosted by Penny from The Real Housewife of Caroline County .

Leopard print, hot pink and sparkles. Mini Lipsy giveaway. (closed)

As you perhaps could tell from my last post, I love animal print but mostly leopard print. I'm always excited when I find something in leopard print. I also love hot pink and sparkles. So I love finding items with one of these three things on them. I was thrilled to find the top that I was wearing today on a carboot sale for 1 euro. It has all three things in it, even though the sparkles are hard to see on these pictures. I'm wearing it with a denim skirt and black shiny (leather look) leggings That's also why I'm still in love with the Lipsy bag I bought last year, which has all three combined in one bag.  I actually exchanged my bag with a new one that I bought as a spare because I loved the bag so much. The old one still needs to go in the washing machine but for now I 'm enjoying the new one. It a comes with a purse which is also in leopard print and pink but it misses the sparkles. I have a new purse as well to replace my purse but...
