Hello! I’ve had a lot of new followers over the last few days in readiness for the launch of today’s rainbow month challenge with @fatmumslim and @kimbalikes, so I thought I’d introduce myself to those of you who don’t know me. I’m Ali, a fashion designer with two kids, who lives in Sydney and has a strong English accent. I like to think of myself as a little ray of sunshine ☀️ as I’ll always think the best of everything and everyone. My Instagram journey began with playing along with #photoaday back in 2015 and shortly after I became part of the original #everydaystyle community too. This challenge will combine my tribes and I’m super excited about it. I did think I could have had a professional shoot for all of these prompts but that’s not really my style. My Instagram feed is the reality of what I’ve actually worn and on the day I’ve worn it and is my style library. I have a casual bias with how I dress and left unchecked it would be denim and stripe tees everyday. For nearly three years though, I’ve not worn the same look twice in a bid to keep it interesting. This month I’ll challenge myself to not only wear the colour prompt but to do it in a way that’s out of my comfort zone. Intro over so today’s it’s WHITE #fmspad_style #fms_white @littlemoments I bought this dress over six months ago but it has been languishing with tags intact in my wardrobe as A) I’m too white to wear white B) I’m messy and will spill something on myself no doubt C) It feels a bit too girly for me D) Hubby thinks it looks like a nightie But....... I’m wearing it today. I’ve taken the photo early this morning just Incase of spillages though Looking forward to seeing all the interpretations and picking the #fabfour and apologies for the essay! #everydaystyle #realmumstyle #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #notwearingthesamelooktwice #sydneystyle #mystyleessential #stylish40’s #wearedonthestreet

In grade seven, one of my classmates wrote in large letters on the brick wall in chalk, "Chantelle has a jelly belly and thunder thighs". I bet she can't even remember that she did it, but I do. . A few years ago, not long after I'd had Lulu {while I was still breastfeeding} a message popped up on Facebook from another ‘friend', "You're still fat, hey?" . Those words on that wall, they shaped my belief system for so many years. I was the sum of my imperfect body parts. I felt constant shame, and I hid my body. Those words from that person on Facebook, they knocked the breath out of me. Because they were true. Because they came out of nowhere. I felt instant shame and hurt. . I cried. I cried some more. They were simple words, not particularly nasty but it made me feel like a failure, and that everyone must have thought the same of me. I must have been a laughing stock of the internet. I retreated and hid away for a while, being less vulnerable and sharing less. . I have a little place in my brain where all the hurtful words of days gone by are stored. The words on the wall, and those from Facebook are just a few among many. There have been many words yelled from cars as I strolled along the street. More while I exercised at the beach. I wish I could throw them away, but they come out when I'm filled with self doubt. I'm sure others do the same. . Imagine a world without those words. Without people with enough hurt in themselves to spew them at people. I’m sure when people say these things they don’t realise how hurtful, lasting and often irreparable the damage can be. I hope I can teach my kids not to be the deliverers of such messages. I know how much those words hurt, so I try not to say or write them, no matter how mad I might be. Words hurt. . Be kind. Always. And if you can't be kind, be quiet. . photo a day | green | #fmspad #fms_green #fmspad_style

Public holiday here today so here’s another very laid back look as I play along with #fmspad_style #fms_green with @fatmumslim @ali_lennard and @kimbalikes . I seriously love khaki and this simple @countryroad shift dress is an easy throw-on and go. I’ve styled with a @glassons scarf and @mi_piaci sneakers. . Enjoying the beautiful weather here. Hope you’re great.

For someone who has been called Messy Jessy her whole life, white can be a risky colour! . . . . . . . . @fatmumslim @kimbalikes #fmspad #fmspad_style #fms_white #teacherstyle #teacherclothes #teacherfashion #teacheroutfit #teacherootd #whattheteacherwore #pttw #wiwt #wiw #ootd #inbetweenie #midsizestyle #curvyau #sydneystyle #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #aussieteachertribe #sydneyteachers

Dear Body. You were never a problem. You don't need fixing. There is nothing wrong with your size. Your scars. Your stretch marks. Your imperfections. Your curves and squishy bits. It's not your job to look like the perfect people in magazines and on Instagram. You were always enough. You're enough as you are, right now. I promise to love you more. . . photo a day | white | #fmspad #fms_white #fmspad_style {skirt by @spell, top by @confetti_rebels, shoes I totally overpaid for on a trip when my feet hurt - no idea where from, sunglasses from @quayaustralia. FYI and for future reference, I'll tell you if anything I wear is gifted, these are all paid for by me!}.

Once upon a time there was a gal who HATED getting in photos, but she said ‘fuck it’ and jumped in for @fatmumslim’s Photo A Day in May anyway. Cheers to @_andywylie for snapping this reluctant poser, it’s about time you were an #InstaHusband. . . photo a day | red | #fmspad #fms_red #fmspad_style | @kimbalikes @ali_lennard | Dress from Ali Express (don’t judge!)

It’s not easy being green, having to spend each day the colour of leaves . . . . . . . . @fatmumslim @kimbalikes @ali_lennard #fmspad #fmspad_style #fms_green #green #kermit #sydneystyle #teacheroutfit #teacherclothes #teacherfashion #sydneystyle #teacherootd #whattheteacherwore #pttw #ootd #wiwt #wiw #inbetweenie #midsizestyle #curvyau #averagegirlsize #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #aussieteachertribe #iteachk #classroom
