Last weekend saw my Fortieth birthday come and go. My OH asked how I felt about it and I had to admit I was quite looking forward to it, not like my thirtieth when I spent most of the day crying and mourning the loss of my twenties!
I feel fit and healthy, I have three lovely boys ,a great partner and a step daughter that I have a good relationship with. I love my home and where I live and I have a supportive and loving extended family. What more can I ask for?
Clothes!
If you read my last post, I’ve been fretting over what to wear just lately. I was especially fretting over my fortieth birthday outfit. I knew what I wanted but also knew that I had no chance of finding it in the shops.
There was only one thing for it. To get on the good old t’interweb and search for ‘made to measure dresses’, then up popped www.styleshake.com.
It has to been one of the most fantastic websites I ‘ve ever come across. You get given a choice of sleeves, necklines, bottom half etc. and you design your own dress/skirt/top.
It’s brilliant! It was like playing a Wii game except that 60 quid and one week later my outfit arrived at my door.
I opened the package and there it was. The dress that had been in my head was now in front of me. I felt really nervous as I tried it on. What if I’d got the measurements wrong and it didn’t fit? It took me a while to pluck up the courage to try it, but when I did I was as pleased as punch.
I’ve been looking for a photo that shows it off the best, but decided to post the one above of me and my OH. The theme for my party was purple and silver, which explains the amount of purple in the picture!
We had a great time and the dress got plenty of compliments and I have been raving about StyleShake ever since!!
