Olympics Champion

Inspired by Ms Helga to do an Olympics themed style shoot.. I donned my red white and blue.

I do believe the NZ flag should not actually be red white and blue, but it is. Plus, Team GB are doing a terrific job, and London is defo doing the job as hosts. 

PLus I am half english, you know. 
Me Dad is a Londoner..


The events I am participating in this year are:

The watching marathon
It's quite exhausting. 


The washing and folding duathlon
Here I am NOT doing very well.


My necklace has mussel shells on it. 
Because, well, all athletes have muscles you know.


I am actually a gold medal winner in Breastfeeding. I practise a lot. 
Have done for years on and off. That's why gravity isn't my friend, as you can see in this pic. 


Baby wearing/weightlifting. 
In the old days they called this 
Strong Woman contest. 
I need to work on the putting-clothes-back-in the-closet and Cleaning-the-mirror events.




Planking is probably my favourite discipline right now. chance would be a fine thing.

So there we go.
Olympic champion.
Half dressed of course, coz that's where I'm at right now!

Dress: thrifted a LONG time ago.
Cardy: from a charity shop in London
Necklaces x2: Fiji, handmade by a lovely woman
(my dad used to live there and I used to visit him there.) I couldn't work out which looked best with the dress. I think the white. They are both symbolic of the fact that I am down here in the Pacific at this end of the world. Yet some of our athletes still manage to get a medal or 2 Yayar!
Beige and brown trackies (retro Golden Breed) : op shop of course
Slippers: from my mother-in-law!!!!

Total cost of what I'm wearing would be about $3 I'd say. 

hHappy dDays..

Love your Olympic inspired outfit - the necklace is very unusual. I think mothers should get a gold medal ;-)

Ooh, love the frock!
I would fail miserably in most domestic chore-based events! The watching marathon however, I am right up there with you, battling for a medal! As for breast feeding and baby weight lifting - well, I am an enthusiastic supporter but long since retired from the competition, ha!
Great post! xxxx

That frock definitely deserves a gold medal, it's just gorgeous. I love those necklaces, too. I have a similar one made from cow teeth, which is hideously gory but makes for an interesting wall hanging! x

Fantastic post, wish I had seen it earlier, like when the ollies were still on at least. But better late than never. Well done with all your events and I am sure you will continue to compete in some for most of the year!!
