Ever find yourself wondering “who the hell have I become and how did I get here?” These were my exact thoughts after I wandered past these shorts at Kmart and then doubled back because they had me hooked. I was just so smitten with the little eyelet detailing I couldn’t help but grab them.
A year or two ago I wouldn’t have even batted an eyelid at these shorts, thinking that I couldn’t get away with wearing them, and now I think SCREW THAT! I can wear whatever the hell I want (aside from parachute tracksuits, no one should wear that shit!). I’ve mentioned many times before the fact that I had so many preconceived rules about fashion and what I “can” and “can’t” wear. Now I banish all those rules and throw caution to the very stylish wind!
With summer almost around the corner here in Oz it’s time to dust off my shorts and playsuits and be prepared for all the fun events that lay ahead. Life’s too short to worry about silly things like who might be staring at my stretch marks and dimples. Stare all you want…I’m fabulous!
As my dear friend and life coach Adjpants likes to remind me: as amazing ladies in our 30s we are living in our glory years – when we’re old and grey we’re not going to regret wearing the bright lipstick every day or getting our legs/midriffs out. We’ll only rue that we didn’t carpe the fuck out of that diem!
What’s one item of clothing you think you can’t get “away” with wearing?

Thanks so much Mimi 🙂 I will check your blog out! xo
Haha, this is awesome! I love that you don’t care what anyone thinks! You go, girl! 😀
Thanks dollface!! I figure people are going to look so I may as well give them something bloody fabulous to look at LOL! xo
These look great! 🙂
I feel that way about swimsuits 😦
Hmmmm yes swimsuits are overwhelming!! But I figure once you’re lying down or frolicking in the water it doesn’t matter LOL! Thanks so much xo
This is true. I also am thinking of kaftans, they seem like a good idea 🙂 It’s the upper thighs, we are frenemies 🙂
Ooooh there are really pretty ones in Kmart at the moment too! I was eyeing one the other day that was super cute! And yes upper thighs are a bitch but I’m learning to embrace them – hey, they let me walk and run and dance like a dweeb 🙂
It’s true they do do all that, they have purpose 🙂 I just feel like in their case I have NO choice but to keep my enemies closer hahaha.
Hahahaha keep ’em close and hug them! Plus being a fan of fashion I like being able to cover them up with fabulous designs 😉
This is true, besides I suppose the more unique the canvas the better the opportunity to create fashion art 🙂
Spot on 🙂
Hell yes! Life is too short! Wear those gorgeous shorts while you can because you ARE fabulous!! 🙂
AMEN KEZ! Thanks so much xxx
Such a cute outfit Rosie! Nice shorts btw 😉
Thanks so much 🙂 xo
They are great shorts, but my favourite piece is your statement sequin tee! 🙂
For a long time I thought being petite I’d never look good in maxi lengths – so glad I just went for it and bought some, they are a staple in my wardrobe now and I can’t imagine what I’d wear without them!

Thanks so much Mica!
I feel the same way about maxi’s, maybe I need to rethink this and grab one in time for summer?
