Its a strange world when I write extolling the virtues of bohemian style clothes...

Summer is my absolute favourite season, not just because of the sunshine but because the clothes can be far more user friendly

Fit and flare dresses have always been a firm favorite of mine...

Flying is not my most favourite thing in the world but it is a necessary evil to go to all those beautiful places I want to see.

I've had something of an awakening...

Any of my friends reading this will laugh themselves silly that I have written a sportswear blog...

What better way of show casing what you can wear than a day by day account.

I've had a lot of emails from people in similar situations and its been lovely being able to connect.

As with trousers and skirts, shorts are a foundation, if I get that bit right I'm set for the day!

Patterned dresses are my savior, a lot of my patterned dresses will fall in to other categories too rather than a stand alone option.

Weddings are a big deal, one of the biggest in your life, so choosing the right dress is vitally important.

For fairly obvious reasons flat front dresses are my nemesis, there's little place to hide a colostomy bag behind a dress that has no disruption to the fabric like the ruffled, twisted or ruched varieties, but if I'm feeling bold and brave I will give it a go.

This isn't a clothing suggestion blog today, its a mini rant.

Since becoming an ostomite I have endeavored to help other people in a similar situation come to terms with the look of their new body.

Or in this case - Could you, Would you, Should you?  When asked in reference to leather look trousers I think they're very valid questions.

Side twists are one of my new favorite dress styles. I cant say I went near them much before my op but they have been a god send ever since. I love this style for the way it flatters my shape but gives me confidence that the bag isn't on show.

With all of my dressing techniques I am endeavoring to cover and disguise my bag as much as humanly possible, paradoxically, the opposite to that is what I wear for beach holidays and swimming.

Shirt style dresses are a must have in my wardrobe , they are my go to dresses for the most part. Day or night they just work for me, summer or winter alike.  I tend to wear on a daily basis, you can find them in most stores all year round and thankfully so far they seem to never go out of style. 

Having never considered wearing maternity clothes (well not since I was pregnant) I stumbled upon these in Topshop in Oxford Street and thought why not give them a go.

This dress for me is the Trifecta, it is so comfortable to wear but you don't have to sacrifice aesthetics for the comfort
