You know, I have learnt that there is an upside to everything, provided you are ready to look for it (and not be stubborn!). I have always been the one to count my blessings ... but sometimes I can even make the most out of the curses ;)
Upside to having zero bank balance:
You finally stop making lists of things you want and start enjoying the ones you already have. Also, it gets your creative juices flowing...
Upside of being disliked by a lot of people:
You don't have to try and impress that many of them. These are exactly the people in front of whom you can be your true-self! [Yeh! Give it to them ;)]
Upside of not having any friends close by:
You are never a part of any gossip or scandal [I really do not like drama!]
Upside of being an egoist:
You never talk ill about anyone! [You are so busy talking about yourself]
Upside of ALL of the above:
L.I.B.E.R.A.T.I.O.N.
I look like crap in the pictures below,
'coz these were taken at 8pm and I was dead tired!
First off, you don't look like crap! I think you look fabulous! And second, if I lived closer, you would have an in person friend...Just sayin. Keep your head up.

I second Angie and the yellow necklace is something I would've never thought of, I never thought of the upside of having no money you do come up with very unique ideas, have a happy weekend :)
ReplyDeletei agree with your Upside Theory...
ReplyDeletei think i should try to look for upsides of everything that happens to me from now on:)
and you look gorgeous as ever...love your pants<3
you do look tired in the first pic, but u still look reallly cool :)... love ur shoes!!
ReplyDeleteLoved the upside of being an egoist!!lol
ReplyDelete1.U look fantastic even when tired

3.loved your heels and outfit rocks with stunning combo of colours!!

haha thumbs up to all the upside downs! I want red pants! You rock them!
ReplyDeletehaha good one! Especially the second one ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the red and pale blue combo!
I really think this is a very cool look, I esp dig the shoes! And I think I actually *shamelessly* agree on the friends part there. I think distance enables u to share what is most important and valuable as opposed to daily gossip, which means nothing!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with - Upside of being disliked by a lot of people

Thumbs Up to your Upsides :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your upside theory.
ReplyDeletePictures show that you are tired. like the complete look.
I totally agree with you! It's always good to find the silver lining.
ReplyDeleteAll I see in those pics are THOSE SHOES! Drooool. :P
♥ Leia
u dont look like crap at all. u r lookin fab! those shoes are to die for and the upside theory of urs is quite good. :)
ReplyDeletePhotos always reflects our moods. They are the mirror of your soul. I never take photos if I am not feeling a100% or the camera will register.
ReplyDeleteLovely shoes, Tanvi.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
i'm loving the outfit. great shoes and i love what you wrote about the upside to things.
ReplyDeleteYou rock!
ReplyDeleteThose red pants are hot hot hot!
Enjoyed the upsides!
Hahahaha... You have a wonderful philosophy, Tanvi - although I don't think you are disliked by many (maybe by some envious moaners, but that's their problem). X
ReplyDeleteI love your upside theory!! Wspecially the upside of being an egoist: perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe red trousers look really good on you! I really want more bright trousers. And I have to say it; your shoes are beyond awesome.
Are you an egoist? really? I couldnt tell! hehehe
ReplyDeleteLove the red trousers on you :-)
Thats very optimistic....btw u not looking like crap...the only thing missing is the smile. :)
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI love the 'curses'. We have most of the curses in common :p

Oh... and yes, u look good :)
ReplyDelete8 p.m. and tired? With those happening shoes? No way! Sweetie, you would look good in a sack:):) Hugs...
ReplyDeleteLOVE looking at the upside... and how the shoes tie the look together!
ReplyDeleteLike the yellow necklace and of course the red pants. So, generally, I really like the way your pants fit. As a rule of thumb, where do you get your trousers/pants from? Do you have any "rules" that you follow in order to find a good pair?
ReplyDeleteHilarious to the extent that I want to be egoist and disliked now! lols!
ReplyDeleteyou do NOT look like crap missy! If you see me by 8pm, I look like a dead rat! You look so fabulous & those shoes are something I would steal shamelessly! :D
ReplyDeletewww.arty-heart.blogspot.com
Love those shoes!! And if that is crap, the I want to be crappy ;p The upside theory about zero balance is so true..After the crying and bawling comes the sense of serenity and you look at your wardrobe in a new light and try mix n matching it and all feels right with the world :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun are your shoes?!
ReplyDeleteThis post was hilarious and brought me a smile this Friday ;)

So Chic! Nice look!

You look great, not at all tired. You are on a color blocking rampage aren't you? Loving it. ^_^
ReplyDeleteAwesome colors! Love how the shoes blend all of them together, those trousers fit you great!
ReplyDeleteCess O. <3 The Outfit Diaries
I love all your "upsides". The upside of you thinking you look like crap in these pictures is that to all of us, you look like your normal gorgeous self! I love all the colors in this outfit--namely the shoes! I feel ya. I have been uber stressed and busy and just irritated in general lately and have had to try to find the positive things in my life to be grateful for. I will if you will ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the "upsides." They made me smile. Love the bright red trousers with the yellow blue--why are you so cool, Tanvi? :)
ReplyDeleteu dont look crap..but yeah a wee bit tired!!!....
ReplyDeleteyou make me want red pants, T! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Tanvi, only you can rock those pants and those shoes...You do look kindof tired, but the colors of the outfit do the brightening up for you!! Really interesting look!
ReplyDeletewww.shocksandshoes.blogspot.com
I really really love this post. I especially love the "not being close to friends" part, strictly because that was my situation this past year. It was liberating to not be in the middle of any drama, and to meet a whole new group of people.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
-Ellie
I love this outfit! and boo to drama! I hate being a part of all that nonsense.
ReplyDeleteTanvi,
ReplyDeleteToo many pending posts but caught up. How is the NO SHOPPING resolve going on? And NO SUGAR one? Keep it up. Anyone who speaks wisely is termed Too Mature For Age. In this one you look contended and not at all what you think. I had navigated to your post of July last year and agree with you on most of the points.
Take care
I love love love all of your upside list!!! I agree about not having many friends - you stay away from the drama!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. why do you think you look like crap? I think this is one of my favorite outfits of you. The pants are amazing and the shoes are FABULOUS!! And I love how you added the yellow necklace to give it a pop of color!!!
xoxo,
Mel

Oh those shoes! *heartache*
ReplyDeletewww.kavisto.blogspot.com
Fantastic dress! Very beautiful! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Angie, you could never look like crap! Real beauty always looks great :)
ReplyDeleteThose shoes rock my socks off!!
This list is fantastic!! There is a plus to everything, especially the things on your list. With some recent events, I probably won't be liked by a few people who used to like me (or pretend to), and I am PERFECTLY ok with that!
ReplyDeleteI adore your red pants and yellow necklace. You look very lovely, even at 8:00 and being tired.
OMG!Your pants're LEGEN wait-for-it DARY!LEGENDARY!And I totally love how you turn every frustrating situation into a positive one.Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with your upside theory!! I too believe that thr comes that one point when you FINALLY have to/should see who you are and what you want and as you stated that is L.I.B.E.R.A.T.I.O.N :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so humble and stopping by my blog!! Pls do visit me again!!
I loooooooooooooooved the upsides just as much as I love you...you make me think sometimes if I was thinner and prettier...I'd probably be almost like u...hehe:-)
ReplyDeleteand so much light at 8 p.m??
which part of the world are you in?
and baby you don't look crap-that's an impossibility on this page...and please tell me you know that heart of heart:-)
you look very different and striking just the same:-)
Great colorful shoes. I was reading your earlier post about giving up sugar and shopping. Quite marvelous if I do say so. As I eat a piece of choclate! lol. baby steps for me ;) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment, dear!

I love your attitude! I'm one to look on the upside as well. Love these photos. You look fabulous and not like crap in any way! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNice writing tanvi. I am miles away from anything close to writing but admire people who write well. I agree with everything you mentioned. You can't have everything, can't please everybody and can't be happy all the time. That's how life seems normal.
ReplyDeleteYou look natural not crap. coming to the outfit I like colored pants too. But me thinks the pants are not rightly fitted (read crotch area).so it looks a little odd. Shoes are fab. Nice post
I agree on the liberation part :)
ReplyDeleteits the most empowering feeling ever!
and love the shoes :)
matching style, beautiful and impressive.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look tired at all! In fact you look fabulous in those red pants, loving it:)
ReplyDeletexx
ive been reading your blog for a few months now, and i think this is my favorite outfit that you have posted! i love the red pants and fun shoes!
ReplyDeleteI think you look a bit like Beyonce in the 1st shot so I beg to differ on your opinion of yourself. After looking at the upside you started your pictures by beating yourself up!!!! Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI love your upside comments. You totally rock in those red pants.
ReplyDeleteLee

You definitely don't look like crap - love how you're rocking those red trousers with the skinny belt. And I adore the print on your shoes!
ReplyDeleteThe 'upside' list made me smile. So true!
really awesome rocket dog shoes hun! and i see the upside in everything you listed except not being near friends. right now i'm far away from my friends and it's kinda boring, lol.
ReplyDeleteNo way hun! You look amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your You styled up your look, so super stylish and chic! I have to admit lady You have amazing sense of style!
♥
xoxo Ra
ahh ,that was insightful.. I would definitely try to find and look more to the upsides.. and you do not look like a crap.. you look gorgeous as usuual..especially in the first picutre, you kind of look perked up after a hectic but successful day .. love it ..
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of sarcastic/silly comments I want to make, but I will refrain. Cuz I am in a joking mood, and if I write them, they won't have the same tone in them, and perhaps be misinterpreted. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really did like your upside views. I need to start doing that more often!
I just got rid of my red pants because I wore them to their death. After this post I am on a HUNT for red pants. You look incredible!
ReplyDeletexo,

Get Up & Go
you look great, Tanvii!! i love these red trousers on you. and way to look on the bright side of any situation. it's definitely good not to dwell on the negative!

LOVE the denim/red combination. I feel like red is such a versatile color! At least you got to get your pictures...sometimes that can be such a huge challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou do not look like crap, girl! Your shoes are awesome, I love the mix of colors and abstracts. They remind me so much of the Aldo Forwoods!

I totally agree...keeping your circle smalls keeps you out of drama and even then it sometimes backfires.
