Getting the most of your summer dresses

-

















 I am currently on the couch(again) with the sinus infection and respiratory infection from hell. No not Covid-19, I escaped the icy hot clutches of that evil and jumped into this one. And while sick I have been watching a lot of documentaries on the bubonic and pneumatic plagues . Fitting right now huh? But this post isn’t a history lesson,it is supposed to be about getting the most of your summer dresses this winter.  Especially those beautiful summery maxis. I know it is cold out right now for most of the country,  but you can still wear these dresses. All you need is a nice long sleeved shirt or sweater! It can be cropped or not! Toss it on over the dress and boom! Instant transformation into a winter’s wonderland perfect dress. 

Which is what I did! I took my sei boutique dress(local store in Florida located in New Smyrna beach)and wore my Shein top over it! It went from being a summery sensation to winter readiness. I know Florida and winter not so much a thing but work with me here. This use will work up north for sure and the fact I have compression socks on most of the time now helps. Helps with warmth and circulation I guess.  Trust me just because it is winter doesn’t mean you can not wear summer dresses. Or at least the summery maxi or midi dresses.  Think of it as a money saver here. This year we need to think about that more than ever. 
And while I will link to my bag and shirt, that doesn’t mean go and have a shopping spree to say.unless you want to!

Deal with body dysmorphia and self esteem

 Today, I was doing laundry and found a newer dress of mine from Halara, it is a athleisure dress, with built in shorts and shelf bra. A pretty darn comfy dress and one you can definitely chase after your kids or pets in. But, something happened today that involved me looking in the mirror and going ew. I saw how I looked in it. I didn't like what I saw. I didn't like who I saw in the mirror. Which was me. I did not like how I looked in the dress. I didn't like how I looked at all. I did not like the person I was seeing in that dress in that moment.  No. So, here is the thing. I am a recovering anorexic. I have body dysmorphia. I have OCD, literally I do, and this is on top of my other mental stuff. Stuff like BPD1, autism, adhd, dyslexia, I believe I have dyscalcia, which is why I am shit at math, no matter how it is taught to me. I am shit at it. Which is why of all the subjects I homeschool my older son with, math is the one I hire my kid a tutor for. The OCD is presente...

Getting into Cosplay Orin Work in Progress(wip)

 I am one who loves to sew, loves it. I adore making things like costumes and dresses. I first actually got into cosplay years ago. Well a long ass time ago to be quite honest. Went to one of my first cons, and it was so uncomfortable how grabby some dudes were, that I never went back. Until recently, I really want to go. They look like such fun and Dragon Con is on the top of my list after doing something local like Mega Con in Orlando, FL. I am working on Orin the Red, a cosplay that fingers crossed will be done for Halloween.  Hoping because it is a 3d printed armor, that we are putting a lot of work into. I say we, because it is my husband and I making it. He does the 3d print and I do all the rest. The painting, the shaping, the wig, the makeup, the bodysuit painting, the figuring out how to make it wearable. The thing about cosplay is making the impossible, possible. That is the case for a lot of cosplay, and Orin the Red is definitely not the exception. Trying to make t...

Have you heard of Dracula Clothing?

  I once, a long time ago, did not dress how you may have seen me before. I was more of the goth punk type. At least in my teens and very early 20’s. But, alas the constant getting made fun of in school over it. And the not so subtle remarks from coworkers and yes, family. Made it hard to keep dressing like I walked out of Hot topic and Gadzooks. So, when I was in my mid 20’s and older. I decided I needed to dress how everyone else expected. How everyone else did. How all the popular it girls and bloggers did. ​ So, I did. And I was miserable. But hey, at least people were nicer to me. I should say “nicer” because no one really wanted to be my friend. My undiagnosed neurodivergent self was not something anyone else wanted to be around. And yeah,I knew. I knew how others felt about me. I felt like I never belonged. Ever. ​ And then I started blogs, but never happy. Something was missing. Someone was missing . My inner child needed to be healed and then I found SELKIE. ​ The dresses ...
