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!

The Ups And Downs of Being Bisexual #BiVisibilityDay

Image
How does one* celebrate #BiVisibilityDay? This is what I've been asking myself today. And it's a bit of a conundrum because on the one hand it's supposed to be a celebration for bi** people to shout out that they exist and that they're proud of who they are. But it's also a space to speak out about the issues that affect bi people. How do we balance the two, the positives and the negatives? Do we even need to worry about balancing the two? Created on Wordcloud So I'm settling my conundrum with a list, which I find tends to be a good solution to many problems. As my contribution to this fine day of being unashamed and honest about experiences of being bisexual, here are some positives and some negatives that spring to mind about being bisexual in a heteronormative society obsessed with binaries (and sex). Let's get the negatives out of the way... That internalised biphobia that makes coming to terms with your sexuality a muuuch slower process than ...

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...
