All shapes and sizes

So any one following me awhile , along time ago I did a blog on all shapes and size but my old account was hacked and had to start a new one so that blog is now gone.

As a lot of ye know I work in retail and have done for many years...

Working in retail can be very difficult at times as in some times you feel you need two of you at once to help customers etc...

But what I love and what has kept me in retail for so many years is the love of style i have, and seen other people's style come in and out of work...

Recently I've noticed so many  girls and women been very out spoken about how they feel about there body's...

I'm to thin for this I'm to fat for that

I need to loose this here and there

(As we all do)

I'm a girl we all do this but it has come to my attention that its absolutely absurd how many of us criticize our own body and how we look...

I see women of all ages look into the mirror and don't see what I see, instead they seem to put them self's down.

When I see how beautiful they are  they see what they don't like

Now come on we all do this...but I feel I'm seen it so much now a days, that its opening my eyes a lot more and keep thinking about it.

We all have bad days where we feel awful or those amazing days where we think we are amazing, its just a girl thing

But if I can change at least one girl/womens  view on how she looks before she leaves my job or what ever she is trying on.

Not just to sell something to a person fot the sake of it but for that person to feel (yes i do look good in this)

I love helping people I love seen women come in and trying on clothes and walking out feeling that bit better about them self's

It really makes me smile

I dealt with one woman recently. Just after haven a baby she look amazing... She was trying on a few different things, as all mummy's know after haven a baby and trying to loose that baby weight can be tough...

Any ways this lady looked really good after three months

What she said to me while trying on clothes has stuck with me...

She said " this is my body I'm not going to change, this is it so I've to work with it" 

She didn't no what I was thinking when she said this...but in my head she wasn't putting her self down she was owning her shape  owning how she looked and you no what ladies she came across to me as a confident women a beautiful women she has learned to like her for her...even after haven her baby she was so positive and it was amazing to see tbh

We all want to be this and that...

We need to learn to love our selfs...

In power one another give some one a simple little compliment.

Just a nice thing to say to some one can really perk them up, I no cause I see it all the time in work

So if ye do anything today 

Try love you and know you are gorgeous 

Whatever size or shape💖💖💖

Happy Sunday and thanks for reading

Love

OUTFIT BLOG

Hey you guys 

this is going to be a short and sweet post on my outfit 

If any of ye know me I absolutely love this time of year.

Pull out those jackets and scarfs and hats cause here in Ireland it's definitely getting a lot colder.

This look is all from Primark/Penny's 

I could forever shop in this store 

I posted these boots the other days ago on my instagram account 
(MELANIES_BLOGLIFE_)
So many ways you can match these pointed ankle boots, this is just one.

I paired them with black skinnys with rips turned up
Black polo top all can be picked up In any primark/penny's
I bought this fur scarf a few weeks back and matched perfect with this white blazer
also from primark
Add a top knot and glasses and your good to go
these boots are very comfortable for any one that loves comfort
No point buying shoes if there are not comfortable
Here is a few pics of my outfit
Enjoy you guys
Also thanks to my bestie Emmett  for taken these pictures ♡♡♡

Nice to be Nice 

Hey you guys 

So I wanted to write a blog as tomorrow is Wednesday 

Well actually it's Wednesday morning now

As we call it 

Hump day

It's the Middle of the week half way true the week and closer to the weekend 

Yaayy for all the people who are ready to let there hair down for the weekend .

So as I had to restart a new blog over my email been hacked I lost a lot of blogs I wrote and since I've new followers  I wanted to write a nice little blog 

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

In the last few weeks I've seen many people around me and just on the streets been down and not quite there self's 

I can honestly say it really cost noting to simply smile at someone or say hi 

if YOU  are in work or in school college or maybe just out for a walk or coffee 

We as humans can sense when people are down or maybe have something on there mind

Some times just asking someone are YOU OKAY

Can make them feel that bit important 

a smile 

Or have a nice day 

can make all the difference to someone 

I tell my little girl all the time never be mean to any one and always play nice and make everyone feel welcome 

as we say

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

We are nearing and nearing to those winter months 

and the season that is full of joy and love 

but for some it's a sad time.

I think society sometimes forgets about actually haven a conversation with someone and getting to no new people instead of been on our phones All the time 

me included 

I wanna make some one feel a bit better today even if it's just a smile 

so I hope that today we all can be a little nicer to each other 

a smile a hi goes a long way

On this Wednesday 

say to your self.

IT'S NICE TO BE NICE 

THANKS FOR READING 

LOVE 

MELANIE
