As you probably know, I took a hard fall on the bathroom tile this week. My wrist needed extensive surgery and now I’ve got monster pins – aka External fixators – sticking out of my forearm. In addition to showering, putting on lipstick, brushing my teeth, and making the bed,  getting dressed with one hand is truly a challenge. So this week, I am only able to show you either my current sweat pants or this casual outfit I snapped before the big to-do.

Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!

I think this whole outfit is thrifted. The blue blouse, with a flyaway back (sim), was picked up at Revolve in St. Petersburg. The white linen trousers (sim) from Molly Mutt are my new summer favorites. They are so light and easy to wear with any top in my closet. It’s not a high-style look, but great for a simple summer go-out-to-lunch day.

It wasn’t intentional, but I seem to be admiring my two healthy wrists in this picture. Those were the days, my friends.

 

Now, let’s see what’s in your closet, Visible Women.

The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple:

    1. Whoever wants to can join in! Just compose a post that includes any outfit, accessory, piece of jewelry, hairstyle, cosmetic or other adornment that makes you feel more confident, alive and visible that day.

  8. Oh, no! What an unpleasant accident. I hope your recuperation will be as smooth as possible. Let me recommend audiobooks as an easy-on-the-hands way to occupy your time while you recover. All best wishes for quick healing!

  12. Goodness sakes! If this was a novel this photo would be called foreshadowing! I sure hope your adaptability index can keep up and that the pain is subsiding. I’m thinkin’ you’ll get alot of wear out of any or all of your pull on pant for the next 6 weeks! Sending healing thoughts and good karma!

  13. You poor poor thing. Such an ordeal to do everything with just one hand. I hope you haven’t got too much pain anymore. (I am sure you had pain.)
    You look lovely in your blue top with two healthy wrists. I am going to participate in the link-up. Don’t bother to thank me on my blog. That will save some time/pain etc. Love you.

  14. I love that you’re admiring your perfect, unbroken wrists here. Hopefully it won’t be too long till you’re able to do that again. xxx

  15. I’m so sorry to hear about your wrist Patti, and even typing with one hand besides everything else you have to do with only one hand! It slows you down and makes everything more difficult.

    I’m a big fan of thrifting and your outfit is lovely! Cute pose!

  19. First off, I wish I lived close by so I could deliver some of my yummy homemade meals to you or just show up to brush your hair or something. I have been thinking of you every day and hope the pain isn’t too bad. Makes you appreciate the gift of health, right?
    Now for the fun (before the fall) outfit. I love this casual vibe and would seriously be wearing this a few times a week. On a whim the first of June I purchased some orange sliders, and let’s just say it was a great whim!

  20. I hope you will heal much faster than expected, Patti! I know it’s a bummer and adjustment. Thanks for keeping the link up going…get some rest this week!

  21. Oh dear! That’s a painful situation. Do the pins go out in a few weeks,? I hope you’re be able to do your normal routine real quick.

  22. I can’t tell if your sandals are red or orange. Either way, I love the contrast with the orange and blue and the strong dose of white. I read about your wrist and hope you aren’t in to much pain.
