I’ve seen you work your magical skills at luggage …and outfits …and packing….and culling…and choosing…and repacking …and the completion of all the colours of the rainbow being catered for in the bag & on the body too! Real life meet up’s really cement virtual meet ups for life 🥰 You are indeed on the pulse & a trendsetter Lauren with your wardrobe on the move while smiling your way through the joy of being a very cool, chique & extremely organised fashionista! I tip my hat to your hat & smile at those final days in VC.

Well done on delivering another wonderful piece of writing. Quirky, funky & so well crafted, just like your Mary poppins luggage 👌✨

I want to know more about the magpie attracting dress!

I have one of my favourite pieces of clothing on my bed at the moment - an oversized rain coat I found at the local second hand shop several years ago - it was good enough to rain for a few days ago and I grabbed the opportunity to wear it out - it's too big, but I don't care, that's what the belt is for and who needs their hands to stick out at the bottom of a sleeve while walking around anyway? Have to pop it back into the closet this evening, where it can wait the next rain...

I love this! And I guarantee all the pictures I sent to my future husband when we were pen-paling were about making my boobs look great. I fear my wardrobe (I did do a cull recently) is blundstones and stretchy pants. x

You only need an hour of chaos a day? I need all of the hours. They're all chaos.

In my defense that's because we have 4 furballs and they're all chaos. My chaos mostly involves me knocking stuff over. Like my drinks. I had to clean drinks uo teice yesterday. That's how you can tell I was in extra pain and/or had extra tremors - me swearing at myself as I use up kitchen roll to clean up my giant messes. Or sometimes me totally frozen in panic while Cuddles does it (I have childhood trauma stuff, but I'm better than I used to be).

I somehow manage to lose clothes. No idea how. They just kinda...vanish. From the house. I have specific places I put stuff, and I'll be looking for something where it should be, and won't be there or anywhere else! I never lost clothes before I gained a Cuddles, 3 cats, and a dog. So it's clearly their fault somehow 😁

My faves change anyway depending on my mood, the weather, and how my current lack of gender is feeling, so it's only when something I have an attachment to goes missing that I sigh - but still, it's only a thing and there are always more Things.

Anyway my current fave item is my new baseball cap (because I...lost my other two somewhere in the house). It's like a sea blue colour, with a bear paw print on the front, coloured in with the Bear Pride flag stripes 🐻

Your wardrobe reminds me of me at your age—years later it’s nice to see how timeless it is. I would like to hear more on the butt handbag lol

I love that each item of clothing you chose to keep has special meaning and/or a specific reason why you own it. ♥️

Also, I remember the post with the leopard print summer dress! Did you wear it on your trip to LA?
