project runway: ICU edition.

I'm going to try and keep most of my posts short & sweet, because really… who wants to hear me ramble on for pages and pages!? That being said, I thought this particular topic was well worth a post. I was in the ICU for a total of 12 days, and had to have my bandages changed twice daily = 26 different outfits in whole.

One of my greatest joys (there weren't many -_-) while in the hospital was being able to observe how each nurse dressed me up differently. It really is worthy of a reality TV show, these ladies have #skillz. There were layers on layers of bandages, but my outer most layer was always made of this fabric called 'spandage' - a combination of spandex & bandage. I tell ya these advertising people and their ingenuity when it comes to branding product names. Kudos pharma people, kudos. Anywho, its tubular, stretchy as fck, and comes in like 20 different sizes - anywhere from your finger to your torso. 

I truly wish I had taken more photos, but here are just a few of the highlights from my stay:
(a couple times i had to take things into my own hands and get crafty after the nurses left. it was sooo warm in my room, I hated when the tops were too close to my neck *insert sweating emoji here*) 

Off the top of my head, I also remember having: a tube top with spaghetti straps, a sleeveless turtleneck, a deep-v tank top, and vest. My fave was likely the 'garter belt' look on the left. White mesh is very in for spring, don't be surprised if you see Rihanna wearing something similar in an upcoming show. 

Now that I'm home I've even added some ribbons to keep things fun. It's the cheerleader inside of me. Yayyyy team! GoOooOOoo skin! Grow grow grow! Honestly, somehow making the bandages prettier and feminine really helped me mentally. It's made things more fun to take part in, and less like work. :)
