  • Can I still say happy national lingerie day for the last half hour of what’s left of the day?! 👙 I’m not myself at the moment and really run down with a cold or sinus bug or something, so that’s my excuse. Also I said lingerie was’t going on here so looks like that was a lie. 🤪 Never mind. Hope you appreciate the pretty colours of this photo and the fact I’m actually smiling. 😄

Can I still say happy national lingerie day for the last half hour of what’s left of the day?! 👙 I’m not myself at the moment and really run down with a cold or sinus bug or something, so that’s my excuse. Also I said lingerie was’t going on here so looks like that was a lie. 🤪 Never mind. Hope you appreciate the pretty colours of this photo and the fact I’m actually smiling. 😄
