50

A month ago I turned 49 years old.
What an age to be, I feel 20 in my mind but my body says otherwise.
Just half a century on this planet, it's been great.
Tick tock, time is important and all those things I never did,
 I want to catch up on..
 Its 50 for 50:
50 new outfits to celebrate that big date,
and a list of 50 things i'd like to do.



Here's one I always wanted to get one of these turbans.
I was in Brixton in London and this lady made me one.
Price £15.



Outfit no 1.
Made by Victim London.


Outfit no 2

Outfit no 3

If that's the House of Dreams, then you own the Shop of Dreams! I get so happy when you arrive and kick off the party, I've been wanting an African turban since ... forever. The metallic blue is gorgeous on you! Your frocks and plaits are incredible - I adore the front-back doll motif ... I've been searching for inspiration and with your wonderful 50 Before 50 has got my cobwebs blowing around in my brain. Big hugs to you! xoox

Happy belated almost half a century! Love your idea of 50 before 50, unfortunately I'll be 55 later this year, so missed out! But I do have many things planned to do that I've always really wanted to & soon as funds allow will definitely be on my way! I think as we get older, we get braver & forget our silly fears or insecurities, allowing us to go forward with gusto! XXX

Hope you enjoyed your birthday! You look amazing and are an inspiration! So many people moan about being 49 but you can be twenty one at heart!
