Styling my new beaded turquoise necklace

-
Isn't this necklace awesome? When I first saw it I loved everything about it: the colour, the beads, the price and the chunky style! It is very me, so you'd think that would mean I would have no hesitations in buying it, right? Wrong! I had doubts like maybe it's a bit too bright, too chunky and too attention-grabbing.  

Maybe it's just because I've been doing an assignment all week on cognitive-behavioural therapy, but I know these superficial doubts reflect deeper doubts relating to self-confidence. Luckily my best mate was with me and encouraged me to buy it! 

Instead of sticking to a no-buy challenge, which is impossible for me because I love shopping, my new challenge is to wear what I want because I love it! No more negative thoughts like: maybe it'll draw too much attention to me or maybe I can't wear it because I'm not thin etc etc. I will wear what I want because it makes me happy! 

What we wear should be determined by what we love and not by our insecurities: that's the real daily challenge.  Ok! On to the clothes!!

The top:

The skirt:

    It is soo true that you should wear what you like and what makes you feel happy. From your necklace choice I would think your friend has advised you wisely.

We're back!   I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  In the next few posts I'll be featuring some of the new accessories I received as Christmas presents. One of the most unusual new additions to my accessory collection is this cool and funky pink button necklace.  Mum bought it for me at a craft market that she volunteered at.  I love it! It's the first button necklace in my accessory collection and  I have a feeling it won't be the last!  I so admire whoever made this necklace: it's so cute and quirky!   The necklace: The outfit: Top: Sussan Skirt: Suzanne Grae Shoes: Holster Bag: Adorne Ring: H&M I just love handmade jewellery and admire the talented artisans who craft these unique items!  I wish I was good at crafts and making things, but my skill only extends to buying (and receiving) these gorgeous creations! Are you good at making things? Do you make your own jewell...

I bought this skirt yesterday and it's a nice and vibrant floral print that will be extremely versatile and match lots of different coloured tops.  Although I could've chosen any colour top, I chose black (again!) to feel most comfortable. I chose lots of colourful accessories though, so as to not feel too drab! The outfit: Top: Sussan Skirt: Big W Shoes: Rivers  Bag: Daiso This bag is a recent purchase too. I am loving all things flamingo at the moment!  Necklace: present from mum Bracelet: Lovisa Earrings: Rockmans Ring: H&M I got this awesome handmade and unique necklace yesterday from mum, who bought it at a craft fair. I love it! Amber seems to like it too!😉 "I do not work with props! I am a professional model!" Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX
