I got all dressed up and almost had no place to go this morning!

My car wouldn’t start so I had to cancel a doctor’s appointment (nothing serious) then call the RACV to jump-start me (my car that is - although I desperately needed a jump-start after the morning’s antics with my oldest son).

So we headed off to pick-up a last-minute birthday present for my bro and there was absolute silence in the car (a miracle I assure you). But it didn’t last, and before I’d set foot in the local shopping centre the nagging began. Only three more weeks of holidays! I’m seriously considering robbing a bank and taking off to the Maldives.

There is a happy ending to this tale of woe! The boys were shipped off to the movies with my mother-in-law and I set a record pace grocery shopping alone. Now I’m in my latest Tigerlily bikini, I’ve cleaned the pool, and I have a fashion magazine, cup of tea and a very comfy chair waiting for me under the umberella. Someone might have to come over and scrape me off the chair later! Happy holidaying.

Black leather skirt, silk topIt’s a shame to hide your waist if you have one. However, if you want to disguise it, a loose and flowing top like this one is a good start.
