What to wear when you have plantar fasciitis…

Hello everyone,

Today I will share something different but I think it is of interest to a lot of fashionistas out there. About a month ago or so, I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and the main recommendation the doctor gave me was to wear running tennis shoes. When he first told me, I was not happy but the thought of dealing with the pain for much longer had me convinced that I would have to change my style.

 

Figuring out how to dress appropriately for work while wearing running tennis shoes was very difficult, especially when my clothes were never meant for wearing with tennis shoes. However, I have embraced the tennis shoes life and have even gotten a few compliments along the way. Of course I also used this as an excuse to buy new shoes since I did not own any running tennis shoes before. 

I have found out that the one piece jumpers and short dresses are the best option with the tennis shoes. Skirts work pretty well too.  I have also found that I am much more self-conscious about my clothing than many other people. I really struggle with the idea of looking professional while wearing tennis shoes. I have been working on it though and I do hope to get more pictures of me posted here in the near future. Since it is summer, a lot of my pictures have been taken on our outings.

You might have also noticed that I have changed my hair style. I absolutely love my new hair and I have received so many compliments on it that makes me feel so good. It is so easy to get ready in the morning too.

Thank you for reading,

Hello everyone,

I know it has been a while, but all I can say is that I have been running around and even though I have had many ideas of what to share, I just haven’t sat down to do it.

So, I thought I would share this picture I took about a month ago. I am wearing a piece Angela gave me in Ghana. This fashion started in South Africa and it has made its way to Ghana. I have to say, I loved this look and I got a lot of compliments on it and somehow this dress gave me some nice curves.

As always, thank you for reading,

Juliana

Hello everyone,

I just had to share one of my favorite outfits this summer. I love these Punjabi style pants and I just recently found this perfect top to wear with it at Marshalls. I love yellow and white so I am always hinting for special pieces on these colors. I realize I was still very pale when I took this picture, I think it would look even better now that I have a tan.

Thank you,

Juliana

Hello everyone,

This was a fun outfit and the best part was that I got the top and pants for free…. Lane Bryant had a promotion that if you opened their card one got $25 to spend in the store. I found these two pieces in the clearance rack and was even able to add a necklace and earrings and all I had to give to the clerk was less than $1. I even felt a sudden excitement because these deals are not easy to come by… I hope you like as much as I did…

Thanks,

Juliana
