Purple Jumpsuit and a minor Disaster

This is the purple jumpsuit I wore in Downtown Orlando. We were in Florida, to visit my Mum, who lives there. The surrounding streets of Lake Eola provided a magnificent  backdrop for some wonderful bright and cheerful photos of me and my Jumpsuit.

The disaster wasn’t discovered until later, but oh boy was I heart broken…

 The purple Jumpsuit from Mango

One of my January sale bargains. If you are a Mango fan, like myself, I am sure you will agree they often have some amazing sale offers. I deliberately kept this for a vacation trip because I wanted to photograph it in some bright light, to show off the bold floral print.

Silver Iridescent Shoes

These are a very old sale bargain from And Other stories another favourite store of mine. They are at least 2 years old and cost about £15 if I remember correctly. I have worn them a lot being silver they go with everything!

You may have seen them in my shoes and socks post

The Minor Disaster

Well… as I mentioned above, we spent a super afternoon strolling around the pretty streets of the Thornton park area of Downtown Orlando. I photographed houses and tree lined streets to my heart’s content. Meanwhile Marc photographed me in the jumpsuit.

At lunch I scrolled through the images and loved all the photos he had taken, the backdrop of lake Eola was stunning. I eagerly looked forward to editing the photos when I returned home along with writing the accompanying blog post…

All gone?

You know what I’m going to say dont you? On arriving home and trying to upload the sd card I found that somehow the card had become corrupted and I had lost all the images. In order to use the card I needed to reformat it and the images were then erased anyway.

Of course I was heartbroken there were some wonderful pics of my Mum and I on there too.I am none the wiser as to how it happened, has this ever happened to you? Any advice welcome!

    It happens so frequently. Sometimes never and then bam 3 times in a month. Now when away I always take something to back them up from the card on. We have a Wi-fi camera now so I always take really important ones straight onto my phone.
    You may have problems with that card again.

    Any whoo. I think these pics are still beautiful and would never have known. That jumpsuit is stunning and is amazing on you. I would love to put it trainers.

    Oh no so sorry about your pictures! That is one gorgeous jumpsuit and I used to live (and still have my husbands family there) in Orlando. We went to Lake Eola a few times!

      Hi Ruth
      I loved the little streets around Lake Eola, so many tourists dont get to see the real Orlando!

    I think these photos work anyway but I totally get you! It’s happened to me but not for a while. Did your mum get any pics you could use?

    I do believe this has happened all of us at some point and it really is heartbreaking. I am so sorry. But this jumpsuit is darling and the iphone pictures are fabulous if that’s any consolation.

    I’m lucky to say this hasn’t happened to me before, but you can bet it’s going to at some point! I feel your pain! These photos are lovely though. Let’s go shop at Mango!
