Playsuit: Barkins
Shoes: Diana Ferrari
It’s been hot, hot, hot in Melbourne for the last few days of my holidays and I’ve spent most of it sprawled on the couch making my way through a teetering pile of books. I had grand plans to do some Serious Shopping during the last week, but the only foray I managed was to Melbourne’s Southwharf DFO where I picked up this spiffy little playsuit for a song at Barkins.
It’s of that terrifying short-shorts variety that I find so intimidating, but over a string of 30+ degree days I threw my insecurities to the wind and wore it out. In public. Yay me!
In other news… I’m in this month’s Cosmo Magazine! Truly! It’s a little bit exciting to be in a local Australian glossy magazine and Cosmo’s always had a better-than-average reputation for using more realistic bodies on their pages, so I’m very grateful for the opportunity.
Super cute!
Thankyou, Cat!
Congrats on being in Cosmo! And even more congrats on wearing that playsuit! In public! I’m proud of you!
LOL, I’m proud of myself!
Ciao, Hi there in the Hot Australia
hello Lilli . . . you look gorgeous in that blak Shorts !
il tuo stile è impeccabbile anche in shorts !

Happy day, Ciao dall’Italia da Aurè
Thankyou, Aure 🙂
Lilly the playsuits looks fabulous on you! As I thought it would when you should the pic on Twitter. Good on you for giving it a go! You certainly pull it off.
Also congratulations on getting into Cosmo! I assume its the Aussie one so we wont see it over here…which is a shame, I’d really love to!
Thanks Monkey!
I’m going to try and get a copy put up on here so everyone can have a read no matter where they are 🙂
So cute! I wish for warm weather here in Sweden when I see your outfit! You look soo cute 😀
Oh, it’s so ridiculously humid today I’m actually jealous of your cool weather!
I think you look marvelous! Hey, there’s nothing wrong with showing a little skin if the day is scorching hot! Congrats on the Cosmo spot! Since we won’t be getting a peak at your Australian issue here in the States, can you tell us a little more about it please? 🙂
Thanks Bella!
I’m going to see if my scanner’s prepared to load it into an image that’s readable and if so I’ll pop it up on the blog. It’s an article about plus-size blogging
great work on both! the playsuit looks awesome and Cosmo wow look out!!!
LOL, I know! Watch out world, right?
Congratulations Lilli! That is so awesome!
Also, I am in awe of your courageous dive into this jumper. You so rock it.
Thankyou, A-C 🙂
Congratulations on the Cosmo placement! I’m going to have to check it out – it’s not on my usual rota of reading so will make a special effort!
Love the little shorts suit! I’dbe too scared to wear something that short but you have such great legs – it looks fabulous on you!
Oh trust me, Kitty, I’m as scared about showing anything over the knee as anyone! But it’s just SO HOT, lol!
Goodness…very cute! I am here in the states watching snow fall …..I have shoveled twice. Enjoy the sun and heat! And as Bella requested, more details on your Cosmo appearance?
G
LOL, oh dear! We don’t really get snow in the urban areas in Australia, so it’s a pretty foreign idea to to have to shovel!
So glad you bought the playsuit and I was one of the chorus of voices saying “yes, yes, yes!” on Twitter! It’s very cute 🙂
Congrats on the Cosmo thing – can you give us any more info?
Hi Jen – thanks for the good advice!
I’m going to have a go at scanning the Cosmo article onto my computer, but it’s an article on plus-size blogging 🙂
Well done Lilli! I avoid Cosmo like the plague, but if you tell us what issue you will be in, I will break my resolve. 😉
The playsuit looks fabulous on you. Just fabulous. Show off those great legs!
Hi Liz,
thanks!
The issue that I’m in is the one that’s currently on the shelves 🙂
Playsuit looks great-so cute! Glad you went ahead and not only bought it but wore it in public!
Thanks Rochelle! I was only a leetle self-concious too!
