30 Plus Style and Beauty featuring How Can I wear that

How would your friends or family describe your style?

My style is:
- inspired by current trends with a wearable comfy edge
- modified to work for my shape and size
- colourful and bright
- always evolving – especially this year since turning 30.
- a little unsuited to the Queensland summers but I don’t care.

Who inspires you and why?

- In a fashion context I would have to say the Kardashians. I know that this may seem a little odd. However I feel that they have really opened a door and made curves the norm and in that way they actually represent real women. Their weight fluctuates, they don’t always fit into their jeans and they make fashion mistakes just like the rest of us.

What are two things you bought and never wore. Why didn’t you wear them?

1. A pair of overalls- I do intend to wear them I’m just looking for a way to make them a little more flattering and a little less Kirsty Ally in Look Who’s Talking (when she was pregnant).
2. A sequin jacket – same as above, I am hoping to wear it, I just look a little too much like Michael Jackson in it.

Describe your biggest beauty disaster (and do you have photographic evidence)?

My biggest beauty disaster would have to be when I decided to wax my upper lip (mustache). I had an allergic reaction to the wax and looked like i had shaving rash from my nose to my lip for days and because I coated it in paw paw cream to soothe it, its was a greasy spotty mustache shaving rash. needless to say, I took no photos.

What outfit always makes you feel amazing?

I feel amazing when I wear My Country Road Boyfriend Jeans and Country Road Slouchy pink jumper with a pair of flats. Its comfy, stylish and hides a multitude of sins.

About Shannon

- I was born in Queensland.
- Lived in maleny for 25years.
- I recently moved to Caloundra and love living near the beach.
- Live with my boyfriend of 7 years (I’m constantly dropping hints for a ring:)
- Have 2 pretend children – dogs, that I’m a bit obsessed with
- I work as a Special Needs Teacher Aide and I’m half way through my Special Needs
teaching degree.
- I turned 30 this year and truly believe 30 is the new 20, I feel more comfortable in my own
skin this year than ever before.
- I love fashion and beauty and I love how adding a simple yellow cardi to your outfit can
lift your mood and make you feel happy.
- I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while now as I have a lot of
clothes and I wanted to justify my shopping splurges.
- I finally took the leap last month and I absolutely love it. It’s a lot harder than I thought. All
of the widgets and traipsing around the backyard with my tripod in heels isn’t always fun. But I love the fact people are reading what I write and I might inspire somewhen else to mix up their fashion choices.
- I will often google how to wear certain clothes but would always come up with websites of size 6 or 8 women wearing the clothes and what looks good on a size 8 leg is definitely not going to look like that on my leg. So I wanted to centre my blog around representing the everyday, average sized woman with some beauty and shopping tips mixed in.
