What I Wore Wednesday: The Original Carrie Bradshaw

I took several outfit photos this week and was quite proud of myself for getting outfits together on more than one occasion and I even bought new shoes (on sale for £11!) but then I got some not great news. My Grandma Bess had a stroke this weekend. She was lucky that there was an aide there helping her with medicines when it happened and she was taken to the hospital straight away but obviously having a stroke at 90 is never a good thing.

These are the times that being an expat sucks ass (pardon my French). To top it all off my passport is still with the UKBA while my application is processed so I can't fly home; I'm not allowed to leave the country or my application will be cancelled and I won't be allowed back into the UK. I can't leave without a passport though. I've put in a request to expedite my application without prejudice but there are no guarantees.

I like to think my Grandma was the original Carrie Bradshaw. She had amazing hats and shoes and furs and to this day still loves fashion and beauty. She is a big fan of What I Wore Wednesday and always talks to me about my different outfits when we catch up on the phone.  I'm sure my Mom, sister and I all get our love of fashion from her so today I'm making What I Wore Wednesday all about her. Here's to my fashion icon and her recovery and hopefully I will be able to travel and see her soon.

Red is totally her power colour

With my Grandpa Joe in her fur trimmed swing coat- My Mom wore this coat when she
 was pregnant with me and I wore it when I was pregnant with Blondie Boy!

At the beach with her girlfriends

With her best friend Sylvia--what don't we get photos like this with our BFF's now?

I love that my Grandma had red nails on her wedding day!

Get well soon Bessala xoxo
