When I was growing up, I practised gymnastics. And, like all young gymnasts, I dreamed of going to the Olympics. Sadly, since I lacked all neccessary qualifications - ability, talent and fearlessness- I never passed the provincial competition level. My training ended when I was sixteen. I had a lot of trouble leaving the sport behind, so when I finally did, I made a clear break; for years, I wouldn't even watch gymnastics on TV! All that has changed in the past few years. I've been waiting for months for the gymnastics competitions to begin in London. I spent most of my weekend watching, reading and studying the early results. But I always went out on Saturday afternoon, because I couldn't wait another minute to wear my new skirt from Sugarlips. Isn't it just lovely?
Don't forget to enter my Trend Trunk giveaway!
Dans ma jeunesse,
je pratiquais la gymnastique. Et, comme toute jeune gymnaste, je rêvais des
jeux Olympiques. Malheureusement, par manque de toute qualification nécessaire –
l’habileté, le talent et le courage – je n’ai jamais dépassé la compétition
provinciale. Mon entraînement est terminé lors de mes seize ans. J’ai eu de la difficulté
à me séparer du sport, et j’ai donc fait une séparation totale ; pendant
plusieurs ans, je ne regardais même pas la gymnastique à la télé ! Aujourd’hui,
c’est autre chose. J’attends depuis des mois que la compétition commence à
Londres. J’ai passé la plupart de mon weekend à regarder, lire et étudier les premières
résultats. Mais j’ai aussi sortie le samedi après-midi, car je ne pouvais pas
attendre une autre minute avant de porter ma nouvelle jupe Sugarlips. Elle est
jolie, n’est-ce pas ?

I participated in gymnastics as a child too but lacked that fearlessness. Those uneven bars are scary.
ReplyDeleteYour glittery heels are so divine! I love them. And the skirt goes perfectly with them.

Thank-you so much for all of your sweet comments, my darlings!
ReplyDeletexox,

This outfit makes me look and makes me smile. There is a lot of feminine fun in this and it is now a firm favourite of mine from your blog. I have a pair of gold shoes I adore wearing, I find gold goes with everything, but here you've paired it with an unusual combination of blush pink and black and white and it works. (This is why you were a style inspiration for me, Cee!)
