GET IT I GET THINKING

Locally designed swimwear
S
o categorized. Young, old, super model, plus size. Here’s my life hack. Wear what makes you feel amazing.
Go with colour if that’s your thing. Get into the current trend of ‘arse out’ swimwear if it makes you happy. Paint your nails, red, green ,pink ,yellow- just do it! We are governed in our fashion choices not by what we like but by what we think society is going to give us permission to wear. Over 40? You bloody rock that strapless dress! Worried about your bingo wings? I bet you’ve got fabulous boobs! We need to get into the space where, as women, we can celebrate, not judge each other’s fashion choices. There are some amazing fashion icons in their 80s and you know what adds to their fabulous fashion -their confidence. I have an 18 year old daughter and youth is beautiful. She is literally shiny with her nascence. We were all that 18-year-old. Although my ‘clubbing’ fashion was a white collared shirt and stonewashed jeans.
Quality, flattering swimwear for all body shapes.
The girls at 18 OWN their look and they don’t shame each other for their fashion choices. Spring racing is about the young, the mammary enhanced and the botoxed. But is also about hanging with your friends and drinking champagne and wearing a hat!

Let’s embrace the diversity of bodies and fashion and stop trying to conform to the extremely narrow ideals of the ‘serious’ fashion world. I am heading to Melbourne Cup in a fabulous off the shoulder pink pantsuit (dangerous I know- pantsuit + drinks = an extreme degree of difficulty).

I am also wearing an over-the-top headpiece from the op shop and some killer heels. Let’s embrace our eclectic fashion choices and rejoice in the amazing diversity of the sisterhood. Also never do shots and cheap champagne will bite you.
