Next jumper dress
Wedge trainers c/o spylovebuy
Cat- totally one of a kind.
It's odd, I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since Mae got in on the photo action; at least the photos don't show the amount of white fur she left on my tights; she only wants to come near me when I'm wearing dark colours.
This jumper dress is one of my wardrobe "comforts". I don't think I'll ever get rid of it...you'll find me still clinging on to it's remaining threads when I'm 80. I'm not sure why I put shoes on as I wasn't actually going anywhere but now I can wear something other than flats I'm fully embracing it.
I hope everyone had a good weekend? My shopping trip didn't yield many goods but the gorgeous weather made up for it. Sunday saw me have a mad shoe and wardrobe clear out so clearly another trip in to town is on the cards soon.
It's the start of another week and a somewhat nerve wracking one for me as I'm off to see some medical students to talk to them about my experience with treatment for eating disorders. It's a bit surreal actually, even six months ago I never saw myself being in a position to be asked to do such a thing and yet here I am. There is room for improvement on my recovery road but I can hand on heart say I have never been so happy or confident about myself in the ten years illness has blighted my life and it's amazing how much more life has to offer when every waking thought isn't taken up by food and calories.
Eh, I got a bit deep there, sorry, how about I make up for it with a little giveaway?

I'm not entering, just wanted to say that your Next jumper dress looks nice and the pics of you and Mae are adorable. You must have quite a way with cats. I wonder if she'll stalk you the way Flash did - or maybe she already does? So cute.

That jumper dress is cute on you, it looks so comfy and cosy too, perfect for chilling at home. Maybe Mae likes the softness of the tights? Lol.
Good luck with the medical students, I know you can do it Laura. You are an inspiration!

Cool sweater and sneaks, dear. Good luck with talking with med students. I think you're very brave, no doubt.
It is a wonderful jumper-dress!! :)

Well done you for doing so well in recovery, hope the talk goes well!
LOve your dress and love cute little Mae x
That's really great to hear that you're feeling so positive. I think it's also great that the students you're talking to will hear first hand from the patient's perspective how the treatment works/doesn't work. That's so important. Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll be ace xxx
And, thank you for doing a giveaway :) My email is lizstephens@hotmail.co.uk

Cosy outfits are just the thing for this grey wintery weather (uh, assuming you have similar rubbish weather there!). I love seeing a Mae cameo as well, she's such a stunner :)
I wouldn't mind entering for nail art either... I'm an addict as you know! xD

It is so heart warming to see how far you have come =) Also weird to think that I have known you for that long? Wow! I bet 10 years ago both of us didn't expect we would still be communicating through a very different type of internets!

You are so beautiful, that even in your comfort dress you look gorgeous! The dress looks perfect for snuggling up in with it's sleeves long enough to cover your hands (I love that about clothes). I find wardrobe clearing out so therapeutic - I hope you found it similarly so and didn't end up with a wardrobe too bare! Well done you on being asked and accepting to do the talk. You are so brave, you should be really proud of yourself because not many people could do something like that :) I wish you the very best of luck!! I hadn't intended to enter your giveaway when I started reading your post, but after seeing those nail tattoos I have to - I've never seen nail tattoos before! I've had a very dodgy experience trying water decals on my nails (I will not be doing that again!!). My email address is shhboutique@live.co.uk :) hope you enjoy the rest of the week lovely, and good luck again for the talk!! xxx
Mae looks so adorable when she looks up at you like that! So chuffed to hear you're feeling more confident and happy than ever : ) xx
