Ad: Portmans
My Dress: ASOS
I could have been a model but instead I went to Uni, became a nurse and now look after sick babies every day!
I was contacted last month but the fabulous Beth from Beth's style quest to join in on her monthly link up 'I could be a model but instead...' The idea behind the linkky is that Beth posts a current advertisement picture (like this one from Portmans) and we try and recreate it- showing that all women are beautiful!
It was great fun trying to recreate this photo- and it was also super challenging. I'm honoured that Beth thought of me for her first link-in and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! As a side note, I find it extremely hard to look serious and pouty without feeling stupid lol, and that wind! Took us forever to get this right! ;)
Check out Beth and Sarah for their recreations and join in with us! In the mean time- finish this sentence for me ' I could have been a model but instead....'
I love this idea! I could have been a model but instead I decided to keep my short stature and special ability to fall over when I wear heels! hahaha!
