You guys may remember that May is M.E. awareness month (Tuesday the 12th of May is M.E. awareness day). M.E. is a very misunderstood condition & we often have to raise awareness ourselves of our symptoms & the realities of our condition.
One such awareness campaign is the Team Princess campaign & this year I will be doing 'Princess' ootds for the whole of May (today included ^^). If you want to learn more about the campaign this post & this facebook page are a good starting place & this is the just giving page that has been set up.

Now the house keeping is out of the way lol, how pretty is this outfit? I LOVE this dress & I am so so happy to be wearing it again! And I love wearing it in this faux skirt style with the shirt tucked into the belt, it's a great way to make a dress more versatile. I feel like this is a SUPER princess-y outfit. Classic, understated but super elegant & feminine...obviously the purple hair is not exactly Kate Middleton princess but maybe it's slightly more animated princess or something?

At the beginning of last week I had a random good period - I was full of energy (not normal people full but better than I'd been for at least 8 months), I wasn't getting kick back from doing things, I wasn't sensitive to the things I usually am - & I felt untouchable, I thought I could do anything!
I went out two days in a row in proper clothes, makeup etc with no sunglasses & drank real lemonade (one of my huge sensitivities is citrus acids). It was magical, like all those 'if I was better for one day' daydreams people have & it felt like it would last forever...

Obviously it didn't...looking back the choices I made were dumb & I used up a lot of energy really fast but it was like I was floating on something & reality was a long long way a way & all around me were bubbles & sunshine & the magical feeling of not being exhausted or in pain. I forget how...heavy having M.E. is & when even a portion of that is lifted away it is hard to remember to walk with your feet touching the floor ^^

Anyway, the outfit...

Totally randomly my energy seems to have balanced itself out. M.E. has serious problems with logic or doing things in a way that it is possible to understand.

I have definitely possibly been running myself a little hard making the most of the extra energy, the sunny weather & the fact that my brother is home from Uni. I left the house two days in a row in proper clothes, with makeup on having done my hair! A week ago (even the day before) I would have struggled to do any one of those things even once, M.E. is a weird weird condition.

My gosh has this week passed in a blur of 'huh?'. I literally didn't know today was Easter until a couple of hours ago - good thing I don't buy Easter eggs - & thought today was Wednesday, meaning I still had days to write this post, right up until that moment so this is going to be short & sweet. (Meaning short, possibly incoherent but full of pictures cause I've already edited those ^^)
