It was rather fortuitous that I selected these images for this week's post for the reason that it best describes my current mood. Maybe it's the universe or perhaps it's close to 'that time of the month' but everyone and everything seems to be annoying me. It doesn't help that the end of the year is nearing and I still have so much I wish to achieve! I'm torn between focusing on work or spending the day at the beach - Durban's weather has been all sorts of lovely this week.
I'm an all or nothing person, whether it's work or play, therefore I'm always on either end of the spectrum; never in between. Right now I am so lazy to even get off my couch. All my tasks (which on a regular day would take up to one hour max) are taking me forever to complete. I'm pretty certain that there has to be some sort of astronomical explanation for my inertia.
What I'm Wearing:
I mentioned in my last post that I purchased a few items from Charles and Keith, the boots being one of them. I wasn't certain about getting them because you know, the hot weather... But they're my new favourite shoes. They're soft and comfortable enough to go a whole day in them and surprisingly, I don't feel hot in them. The white cross-over top is from River Island. I bought it on sale in Johannesburg when I visited my sister a few months back. The black denims are from Woolworths which I purchased for work but since donning them, I could wear them every day. They provide just the right amount of stretch to make them comfortable enough to wear through the day. The black Jacket with silver chord detail was purchased from H&M in Kuala Lampur. I needed to get away from everyone and be alone for a bit so I went shopping... Needless to say, my alone-time was fruitful.
The sunglasses were a real bargain! I bought them from Sunglass Hut in Cape Town. It was my last day in the Cape and I thought I'd spend whatever money I had left. I spotted a sale sign in the window and went in. Little did I know they were having a sale to bring feet into the store. The entire store got flooded so naturally there was a strong damp smell in the air. Once I saw the price of these Tom Ford glasses the store smelled like fresh daisies to me. I really like the way these sunnies shape my face as well as the dark lens for when I'm not in the mood to interact with anyone. The Swarovski bangle was a gift to myself after a very long time. I had eyed this bangle for some time before I finally made the purchase!
