This week we are focusing on our best features, so today I present you my hight, my collar bones, and my hair. I am tall, 5’9, and I love it! I was always the tallest kid in school but I don’t think I ever minded too much and now I often embrace my height with high heels.
I have protruding bones all over my body regardless of how much weight I loose or gain but the collar bones are the only ones that actually make me look elegant and not just boney!
My hair (like for many of our readers) falls on both my hate and love list. I work hard to have good hair, to tame the mane. Nothing makes me happier than a good hair day and my treat to myself is an expensive haircut. I always appreciate a good compliment but when someone calls me skinny or compliments my long legs I can take or leave it because these come relatively naturally to me ,but a compliment on the hair will make me love you forever!
Sal’s great post last week about smiling in style post pictures has got me thinking and because this week we are being positive about our bodies, I will be going for all smiles all week!

Love the smile! I didn’t realize you were tall, it’s funny how you can’t tell that in pics :)
Don’t forget your itty bitty waist!
you are beautiful, but yours earrings are fantastic
