Horsey porsey

Howdy gals! :) I have found a new way to express my endless love of horses, in a dress of course! :)
I have been horseback riding since childhood and as a teenager I owned a horse. Those were the days!!
I really miss riding and caring for a horse but its time consuming and costs heaps of money, both of which I cant find the time/afford at the moment.

The horse featured on the dress is actually a model of the Swedish Dalecarlian horse/ Dale horse. Its a traditional carved, painted wooden horse statuette originating in Swedish province Dalarna. In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna, as well as Sweden in general. However the designer of this dress is Danish and based in Copenhagen. ;)

The world's largest Dalecarlian horse, made of concrete and located in Avesta Municipality, Sweden.

I chose to focus on the red and pink, I love how those two colours work together, a bit of mismatch and utterly fabulous at the same time. :)

Outfit details: Dress from One Off (Danish designer- new to me and whom makes the most fabulous, quirky dresses.

Spots of colour

Hello sunshine! :) I love my new spotty dress to bits. Its a retrodress, clearly inspired by the 50s. :) Colourful, fun and full skirt, whats not to like. :) After putting on weight I have nearly gone up a size in clothes, some of my dresses dont fit me anymore, boo. :( So Out I went, shopping for replacements and found this beauty! :)

Back in business

Hia! I started work last friday and it felt really good! :) Since it was friday and all I went for the casual friday look on my first day back. :) You may notice I look a bit more top heavy around my butt, thighs and stomach, yup I have put on a pound or lets say a few. Courtesey of staying at home and nibbling sweets all day long, ooops. I have taken up exercising, going to the gym twice a week since New Years but it doesnt show.....yet. ;)

Im pleased for gaining weight since I was too skinny before (in my opinion) Now I look like a normal person, still slim but with a muffin top I really dislike. Seems its not going away anytime soon despite my sweating at the gym. Having a baby and approaching the big four nill in two years time seem to have hit me hard. I knew my body would change after having a baby but Im not in favour of all the changes. I guess I just have to embrace my new body, after all it supported me through pregnancy, birth and nursing and for that Im forever grateful.

Anyway I really enjoyed my first day back at work, I felt a sting in my stomach when I left home that morning, missing my little one and wondering how she would get on with her dad for a whole day. But no need to worry, they did great at home and I was so busy at work I didnt get the chance to miss my baby (uhm hardly at baby anymore at 10 months of age) at all.

I love to mix red and pink, its such a fun colour combination!
