Playsuit Logisitics

I was standing in front of the mirror this morning, after having just got dressed, when I suddenly had a blog idea. What can I say? I'm my biggest inspiration. Just kidding, but really, today I'm gonna be talking about playsuits and how to find one that you love.

I really like playsuits, I think they're really fun. They're perfect for hot weather and they have all the convenience of dresses except they won't blow up in a breeze. Also, you can dress them up or down so there is plenty of opportunity to wear them. However it can be tricky finding one that is right for you. So, without further ado, here are a few things you might want to consider when trying on a playsuit.

Comfort
One of the things I love the most about playsuits is that they're super relaxed and comfy. So I, personally wouldn't settle for a semi comfortable one. When you're trying on one have a little/big dance in it and see if it passes the test!


Crotch Check
Beware of the playsuit wedgie, especially if you're quite tall! I'd recommend bending down, lifting your arms and sitting, when trying on a playsuit to make sure it doesn't ride up anywhere it shouldn't be. Of course, a bit of riding might not bother you but I'd find it super irritating.


Undress Test
The other week I tried on a really cute red floral playsuit in River Island, which looked pretty awesome BUT it had buttons all down the front. I'm willing to slip off a playsuit to go to the toilet but I know that I'd not be cool with undoing and doing up buttons every time so I decided not to get it. However, I still love this playsuit, especially the cut outs so, to some, it may be worth it. It just depends how often you pee and how much time you're willing to spend undressing for it. You could always do a test run in the changing room (without peeing) to                                                              see how fast you can undo/pull the top part down!

Buy it here
 Below is a picture of the playsuit that I wore today. It was £16 from F&F at Tesco, which I think is pretty good. It's super lightweight and comfy and, as you can see from the photo, really easy to move in. It doesn't ride up and can be taken off easily when you need to use the toilet. I can't find it for sale online anymore but I'm fairly sure it's still available in Tesco stores.

I hope my "top tips" have been helpful.

Enjoy suiting up!

Throughout January so far, I've been playing around with a few resolution ideas. Even if I make a few initial resolutions on New Year's Eve, I tend to reflect a lot in January and come up with a load more!

All Writers Steal: Top 6 Books That Influence My Writing

Image
Whether we like it or not, the stories we consume help to shape us as people. And if you are a writer, they will also rub off on your writing. They can influence your genre, your style, your structure, your themes, even your grammatical choices. Or it could be less subtle. You might just pick and choose aspects you like from different stories to use in your own writing. They say great writers steal. It turns out, so do bad ones and everyone else in between. All writers steal, even if they don't want to admit it or even realise that they're doing it. So, as a reminder that nothing is original and that's okay, here are some books that have influenced my writing over the years. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I read The Hunger Games when I was fifteen. At that point, it was the first present tense book I had read - or at least the first that registered in my mind. I was obsessed. The way present tense created so much immediacy and suspense blew me away. It felt li

outfit of the day/ giving yourself some "love"

Image
The only thing I feel that I have achieved today (apart from a mediocre poetry assignment) is wearing an outfit that I felt pretty happy in. I noticed recently that, since I've been at uni I've been making a lot less effort when it comes to looking after myself and my appearance. I think it's partly because I've had other things on my mind but it doesn't make me feel good. Making an effort to look after yourself and to put a little bit of effort in to your outfits is one way of giving yourself a bit of love. I know that not all people feel this way about clothes but I definitely do to an extent. So without further ado let's marvel at my success in dressing myself.  DISCLAIMER: I'm sorry if my messy sink offends you D: Putting on a skirt always makes me feel really good about myself. I also find tights and skirts so much more fun and comfy than jeans. Me and jeans don't really get along. I'm not very good at "selfies" bu
