The only spontaneity I indulge in lately is either while making travel plans [I am famous of getting-up and going anywhere anytime!] or over the weekends. From Friday evening till Sunday afternoon we [me and husband] forbid any routine to take over unless we want to!
And don't even get me started on punctuality. While the west it still considerably better than the situation back home, nonetheless, basic courtesy of informing is missing everywhere. Last weekend when we were out with our friends Adam & Suzanne and we all were discussing how frustrating it is when someone is running late and they do not even call to give a head's up. Rule of thumb : If you are not going to make it within 5 minutes of the the instructed/assigned time - CALL [preferably as soon as you realized you will be late!]
I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time. Charles Dickens
Outfit-of-the-day!
Me and Hongmi decided to go see "Date Night" to fill our lazy afternoon [followed by Starbucks, of course]. I am not going to write a review on Date Night 'coz really it's not even worth it. It was a decent time pass but Tina Fey and Steve Carrell can do so much better [I am just saying!] Anywhooo, about the outfit? I hadn't worn Indian clothes in a long time and I was itching to wear a salwar [the pants] so I decided to wear it with a twist! The pink top which I had worn previously with leggings here, I thought went quite well with the printed salwar. It was an easy-breezy outfit. My idea of Indian slash Bohemian look.
Top - Fetched at a Flea Market [London]
Salwar - Cottons [Delhi]

Shoes - Pretty Fit [Dubai]

You could organize my life. I am not a planner by any means. However, as disheveled as my life is I am ALWAYS on time (if not early). I cannot stand when people show up 10 minutes late without acknowledging that they are. Big pet peeve.
ReplyDeleteThose pants have an amazing print! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the slouchy pants ! They are incredibly gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteIf I know one thing you love is POST-its! Remember how it was used as our personal messaging system in school??! (pre blackberry days!)
Planning really helps utilize the whole day well...atleast you feel motivated to do new things coz u realize what u have or haven't done..need to spring back into action and control the 'plans' rather than them controlling me! :-p
Bring out the post-its!
