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.

I'm just taking a moment or two to catch up on your posts after my holiday. I have always liked a black and burgundy combination for this time of year. The lip salve is one I have been meaning to try too. As winter approaches, I need an effective one in my bag!
ReplyDeleteOMG those earrings are adorable - I love anything nautical {despite the fact that I can't swim}!

Hi Madison! Lol that is a good story indeed. I can't believe Siri said that. I have to try this with my sister's i-Phone. You look marvelous. That skirt is beautiful! It's not often that you find amazing pieces that H&M that last for many years.. Dann wünsch ich dir noch einen tollen Donnerstag!! Jetzt weiß ich auch endlich was kitchen sink look bedeutet haha.

ReplyDeleteThat man in the card shop sounds so funny! He must have been very happy, I'm always humming or singing away to myself when I'm happy. I don't think I do it in public though, I better watch out I'm not doing it without realising haha!

A classic cut for a skirt. No wonder you love it! Who needs an LBD when you've got a lovely black skirt? Love those earrings! And the lumberjack shirt! Have a good weekend x
ReplyDeleteLiebe Madison, Dein Rock sieht aus wie neu und mir gefällt die Richtung sehr, wie Du ihn auch passend für das After-Work-Dinner gestylt hast. Karo-Blusen mag ich sowieso sehr gerne und es sieht so schön aus, wie Du die tolle Kette dazu trägst. Ich wünsche Dir ein wunderbares Wochenende <3
