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.
Now, let’s see what’s in your closet, Visible Women.
The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple:
- 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.
- Go to the bottom of this post and click on the InLinkz button “Add Your Link”. It should open a new page.
- In the “Next Step”, you crop the pic (easy tool) you want to display, and you’re done!
- Visit a few other bloggers, to make new friends and increase your own following.
Oh hey! Not Dead Yet Style is on Instagram! Please check it out when you have a moment: Instagram.

Take care Patti , wishing you a speedy recovery. Thank you for hosting Visible Monday, a valiant effort under the circumstances. Your Summery outfit is lovely and those perfect wrists will be a matching pair again soon.
Well, at least you can keep singing – although there really is no consolation here. Your wrists in that photo are stunning! They will be back. I hope the pain is bearable. Thanks for the linkup again, Patti, despite this turn of events. And I love your silk IG arm wrap.
Patti – thank you so much for continuing to host Visible Monday regardless of your injury. Heal well and quickly x

Your outfit is lovely and i think it is perfect for a nice lunch date! Thank you for hosting!
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!
omg Patti. I luv your before photo. How are you doing? What a scary thing to have happen. Take care meanwhile and have as many cat naps as needed.
Oh, you linked up with me! I see that as a big compliment! Thank you Patti!
Oh No !!! I hope your wrist heals well. Maybe you will learn some new ways of doing things with only one hand – let’s hope it doesn’t last too long
I’m so sorry to hear about your wrist, it’s amazing how much we take for granted, like opening a tylenol bottle! I wish you a speedy recovery Patti. Despite your injury you look fabulous!!

Aww, so sorry Patti! I know that must not be fun. I hope you recover and feel better soon. Very lovely blouse! I love the bright blue and I think I will be adding a pair of white linen pants to my closet next year. Love the bright sandals with this look too.

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.

This outfit is adorable and easy for summer, Patti! And I do hope you are healing quickly and without much further to-do. What a nightmare! Sending lots of positive energy your way.

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
Oh my goodness! I hope you heal quickly!
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!
Praying for a speedy recovery and thanks for hosting!

It’s such a lovely photo of you, Patti! White and blue, and healthy wrists – yay! I’m wishing you a speedy recovery, my dear! Lots of love! Thank you so much for the link-up, I’ll join soon.
Ha! I love how you are admiring your perfect wrists there. Oh how we love to appreciate what we have when we don’t have it.
Thinking of you my friend.

I did look twice, Patti! A miracle cure for arm breaks? A gorgeous photo of you pre arm injury though. You’ll do this again soon. xx
What a marvelous photo. I know your struggles and I’m confident that you will figure out some work arounds. Sending you good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Yikes! I hope your wrist is healing, and I am sending you well wishes for your recovery!
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!
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!
At least you have a sense of humor about it, Patti. And as my husband always says—this too shall pass!!!
XOXO

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.
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.
