Casual Style Notes

To move away from the norm, I thought it was best to give you a few random moments of the week.

#1 Card Shop Tunes:

I went to purchase a birthday card the other day for a friend, and I heard a man humming in song really loudly. It was a type of humming that you do when you think you’re alone in a room. Well, the humming started to increase to an earsplitting volume that I had to laugh, because his voice was pretty good. However, I wasn't at all expecting to walk into a concert as I selected a birthday card. A bunch of other people started to draw near the aisle he was in. 

I peeked around the corner to see who this mystery songster was. The well-dressed man with a purple tie was determined to sing his little tune, which was a muddled version of Love and Happiness, a jumbled remix rather, only because he later began to insert his own words to the song. I will let that thought steep in your mind for a moment. Needless to say, it was quite an experience, and made my day a bit more interesting.

#2 Work Wears:
I decided to take my outfit in a more casual direction for an after work dinner, so I changed into this shirt and kept my heels on. Sometimes, even swapping a top or opting for a different shoe can make you feel better (or in my case more comfortable), after a day of being in a pintucked blouse and fitted blazer.

This skirt is one of my favourite pieces to wear, and I've literally had it for many years. It was one of those amazing H&M pieces that I stumbled across early on, and entirely by chance, and it’s still in excellent condition. I love the way the skirt moves—the swishing and swooshing whispers of the chiffon and lining touching your knees as it sways from side to side. 

#3 Last bits of randomness:

Uplifting tech reads: this good story is one that I read weeks ago and it’s really inspiring.

I’ll take one! This self-cleaning fishtank is brilliant!

Can you believe that official gift guides are already out! I saw my first one of the season last Saturday. I guess, marketing-wise it’s on time. But, my inbox needs some cleaning now. Oi, November always sneaks up on me … At least we have a few weeks until Christmas carols start, right?

Enjoy the rest of your week.
