my autumn style

I went shopping the other day to sort of update my wardrobe. I say “sort of” becuase I really didn’t buy a lot. I just bought some cardigans and sweaters I can mix with the basic tops I already have.

I also bought some belts to add to my accessory collection and later, I plan to buy hats. I am not really big on jewelries right now because I can’t wear them without worrying that my baby will accidentally pull them off. But when it comes to jewelries, I tend to choose silver and white gold over gold because the color is not so tacky. This is also the reason why I like tungsten.

When it’s time to wear flattering jewelries again, I’ll go ahead and get me a tungsten jewelry online. I could also buy it from a jewelry store but I have more choices if I buy it online.

My sudden interest in fashion is due to my frequent visits to a lot of personal style blogs. Oh how I love them! And since I can’t (or too lazy) to dress myself up everday, I created an account at polyvore.com (msmyla.polyvore.com) so I can create sets of different clothes. I can play around and put together a complete outfit that I think would show my personal taste and style. Here are some sets I made for autumn outfit.

Blue and gray combination.

I still need to get a blue bag and gray hot pants to complete this look. I don’t have the cute gray bolero but I have a gray cardigan. I also don’t have the red blue checkered top but I have a tops with such colors.

I got to have that green bag and those shoes! But the question is, how long can I stand having those high shoes on?

post childbirth gynecologist check-up

I had my gynecologist appointment today. I should have had may check up six weeks after the birth of my son but my gynecologist was on holiday. I didn’t want to see another gynecologist so I waited this long for an appointment.

Among other things, this check-up is to let me know if all the organs in my pelvic area returned to where they’re supposed to be. This is very important since childbirth can cause urine control problems and some other more serious problems such as inability to orgasm and POP or pelvic organ prolapse. I am not really concern about the inability to orgasm because it can be remedied by pilates and kegel exercises but POP is something I really consider serious.

Women who get POP have to a get vaginal mesh implant to slow down or to prevent the womb from falling into the vagina. But the problem does not end after getting a vaginal mesh implant because vaginal mesh implants are known to cause many negative side effects such as urinary problems, pain during intercourse, perforations within the bladder, organ injuries, and infections. The mesh can also erode in the vagina causing a much bigger problem. Many who went through a vaginal mesh implant find themselves filing vaginal mesh lawsuits because they are experiencing one or more of the side effects.

I don’t want to go through all that so I went through this check-up even though I am feeling all okay down there. Prevention is always better than cure and I strongly believe in that.

sense of style

It’s been a while since I started contemplating on what direction I should steer this blog to.  I picked up niches for my other blogs and I want to do the same for this blog.

Once I toyed with the idea of making this to a personal style blog, because I am really inspired by my two favorite personal style bloggers, whatiwore.tumblr.com and kendieveryday.blogspot.com. I know I can’t be famous like them (even too shy to link up to them), but it would be nice to have a blog where I can also showcase my sense of fashion.

BUT.

Who am I kidding? I am not a fashionista. I am a wash-and-wear-kind-of-girl. I think that if I would be working in the fashion world, I would be one of those working in the background. Like the one who holds the camera reflectors in a photo shoot. LOL. But seriously though, there is also a girly part of me that wishes that I had some sort of “style” to showcase.

OR.

Maybe I just want to have a personal style blog not because I want to express my sense of fashion but because I am passionate about blogging and if could write about every niche, I would. LOL. Personal style is a very nice niche, if only my friend, Lamielle, lives nearby, I’d team up with her because she’s always dress to kill. She’ll be the model and I’ll be the photographer—not a bad idea since I also like photography.  That would be cool!!!

I am just thinking out loud. I like fashion and I do wish I could put a bit more enthusiam in dressing myself up BUT most of the time, I just can’t see the point. They say fashion is about looking great in clothes while feeling good. Well, I feel good in jeans and tees. Whether I look great or not is a question. LOL.

Anyway, the bottom line is; I am a girl, so I do like to dress up sometimes. And if today will be a dress up day for me, I’d wear something like this:

Cute polka dot red dress and black sophisticated pumps. Red lipstick to make my full lips stand out and turquoise purse and accessories! Lovin’ turquoise right now…like.. it can go with just about any color.

Someday, I’ll start a personal style blog. Right now, My Pink Notes will have to stay like it is—a blog about my thoughts on things.
