Finding your style that represents who you are

My mum loves a dress and she is very glamorous and puts make up on everyday where I with me I put mine on when there is particular reason, and I like my leggins with a t-shirt or jumper, and will wear a dress when for a particular reason, and also dress to suit my lifestyle like working out and comfortable clothing that can be casual and smart. 

I am that parent that could live in gym gear all of the time, but to avoid that I will style my wardrobe with trousers, shorts and I do like a nice top that is different and smarten up again depending on what I am doing on the day (if I am going out) and the weather.

At school I was someone who would look at the girls in my class of what they were wearing and plan my wardrobe that suited me at that time. I also collect clothes that has longevity, checkout my blog site  Carries Versatile fashion.

It is important to me to have good functional style that my body can breath and like a jumper is like being given like a big hug and a top that I feel content and calming. 

I like looking on Pinterest for different style ideas and what would suits me. Check my fashion boards on my Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/thetypicalLondongal/my-style-2024/

With style comes the basics and I love putting together outfits and get the most of my clothes, and rotate my clothes to make the most of them, and what I not worn, and I love second hand clothing. 

A great way to style up on a low budget and give to good causes, and like shopping food do a list of what I am looking for and look in stores and see if I can get the similar item but second hand, of course not underwear. I have limits and hygiene rules of course. 

It has changed over the years being 45 and did put on weight, but got it down and as you get older your body changes, especially if you have been pregnant and I have saggy boobs, stretch marks and cellulite, but carrying a child comes with side affects however much we love our kids and we can lose our identity but now in my 40's finally feel comfortable in my skin and dress for me and noone else.

So find your style and be proud of what you wear and that represents you. 

Many thanks for reading,

Coffee and cakes

Image
So I thought my son had his first Babyccino this week, but found out that it wasn't and he didn't like the hot milk version but cold. This was in Costas and I love their cornflakes cakes and even though I do have a coffee machine in my home they aren't as good. However, using the coffee machine at home, has saved me a lot of money and same with instant coffee, which I have at my son's home in Epsom, and going to buy myself another jar of coffee and cold latte sachets to save the pennies.  My son drinking his Babyccino I do often will pay a visit to Cafe Nero if I fancy a Chai Latte and love their Bacon and Brie Panini, but can be pricey so I now cut this down to having this once a month, and tomorrow was planning to visit Starbucks, but I had to catch myself, because why buy a coffee from Starbucks, when I buying coffee in a supermarket?  Am I alone in this?  It is double the expense, and I know I could stop drinking coffee, but I love my coffee in the morning and dayti

Finding a decent coffee

I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now and so wor

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break
