You may have noticed yesterday that, currently, I have more bruise than leg...at last count there were about ten of the little swines...ranging in size from a modest scuff-mark to a just-under-2-inch-in-diameter behemoth on my thigh (I only hope that the table I walked in to is feeling as badly as I am right now).
Why is it that my general, year-round, klutziness goes into overdrive once the temperature heats up? In the last week I have bumped into so many pieces of furniture that I've lost count...of course, as I'm British, I apologize to each of them...and each, in return, has left its own indelible mark.
The only thing to take comfort in...and I'm stepping (warily, and in the knowledge that I'll probably bump into something) into grasping at straws territory here...is that I'm not alone...as shown by Alexa Chung (well, her lower limbs at least) in gorgeous Chanel shoes...accessorized by a fair number of bumps and bruises.
I've been using self tanner in an attempt to hide my bruises. FYI, it doesn't work.

AM - I'm so pale that self tanner doesn't work on a normal basis
RiAnge - that's the thing...I know that, in prior years, it's been pure vanity that's kept me sweltering in tights and jeans...this year I'm trying my hardest to be more sensible
SRR - ouch! Though, on the upside, you have the excuse of the heels...as a flat wearer I don't even have that to (pardon the pun) fall back on.
