Amanda Uprichard has some of my fave jackets and blazers! I bought a couple of months ago a beautiful and slightly sparkly Amanda Uprichard blazer, you can see it here, and when I saw this jacket on Rent the runway, I had to rent it. Had to rent it! The colors are fit for the season, there is yellow, blue,black, pink and red as well as touches of white. It is my technicolor dream coat. This is the kind of jacket that is perfect for the coolish weather we are having right now! I love how this Amanda Uprichard plaid jacket looks with denim and this beautiful LM Monique Lhuillier blouse. Now normally I digest how I look with peplums. I feel it draws attention to my diasastis, and I hate that. I am very self conscious out this pain(literal) of mine. Yuck.And it was bad that I had to wear a corset with it and speakin of Diasastis,  did you know a lot of  insuranceswont cover it for many women, becuasse some do not think it is medically neccessary. They will a lot of times cover the hernia part. ANd here is a freaking kicker, they often will cover it for MEN. You read that right. Women though get this a lot and we suffer after, pain constantly in the lower back , difficulty going to the bathroom , and Difficulty standing. no core strength. I can go on and on. Most people I guess try to fight this and push that it is medically necessary however insurances will push back.. And with me, I may need the surgery. I just want to have it covered. For me it would be fixing something that is making me miserable, pain meds are not something I want to be reliant on. And i am tired of walking like old grandma without a walker or cane. Seriously that is how I look like some days when I walk. 
 After the holidays I am going to speak to my obgyn about this and see what options I have, I am miserable. 

Cute coat or not, I am in pain,constantly.

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 ...
