Sporty Mice

How good was the Spice Girls Olympics Closing Ceremony performance? It made me yearn for the 90's, even though I was too "cool" to like the Spice Girls and teased my younger sister endlessly about her fandom, I secretly enjoyed their cheesy tunes and tacky plastic fantastic fashion. Oh platform sneakers, mini backpacks and hair mascara how I love you.

This weeks Aussie Curves challenge was leggings which I wasn't sure I would participate in as I have been trying to step away from my old safety net outfit of leggings + dress + belt. For so many years I was too scared to show off my legs so even on the hottest day in summer I would sweat it out in leggings and I was only comfortable in a dress, never a skirt and top. Obviously if you're a more recent reader of my blog you may have noticed I have made a lot of headway on that and have a lot more confidence in my body and how I dress. So I decided to do something I would never have been brave enough to do a few years ago, the dreaded leggings as pants combo. Sure it's one of the most derided fashion 'no no's' of our time, but the challenge was leggings and I wanted to actually challenge myself in some way, so here I am wearing leggings as pants and looking pretty damn hot even if I do say so myself.

Mexicana-Asia

When I was a kid my mum used to make this dish she called Mexicana-Asia. It was a mix of whatever was left in the pantry right before pay day so it was always different but the common factor was a mix of Mexican ingredients and spices with Asian ingredients and spices. This outfit somehow reminded me of that mix, only its my Mexican blanket inspired skirt from ASOS and my Harajuku styling rather than spices, beans and noodles.
