Rivers, bridges.....and 'mannish shoulders'
Bloggie:
It's funny how as we get older we get more comfortable in our skin...well, I have anyway :)
Just a few years ago I would have been ridiculously paranoid wearing this particular top. Why? Because of my 'mannish shoulders'...yes! that's how I thought of them lol.

I only began to make peace with them after many years of compliments on how toned and 'Michelle Obama-ish' (I wish!) they were or how athletic it made me look, and on the odd occasion which I relished, how model-esque they made me look ;)
I know I know, I'm nowhere close to model material but hearing these remarks finally helped me accept my shoulders and eventually embrace them. Getting older and realizing you're not as bad as you thought probably played a part in that too. Older, wiser and more fab, I say!
