GREEN AND PINK AND A CONFESSION

These snapshots are from a few weekends back from my niece’s 2nd birthday. The theme for the party was Bollywood mania, hence the colorful, shimmery backdrop behind me. I was all fatigued after an afternoon/evening of fun, laughter, dance, magic show and of course playing cat and mouse with Ribhya ( only to get her to eat something, I’ll tell you this girl can go hours without eating if I don’t get involved ).

Despite all the odds, I mustered the energy for these clicks and put on a ~~fake~~ smile just for you all. Trust me folks, behind this fake smile lies a tired soul and a brain full of streaming thoughts of my plush and comfy bed that kept calling out to me for an uninterrupted overnight fondling……..sigh !!!!

Talking about my outfit, I was craving to wear something bright ( occasion appropriate for a tot’s birthday) with my black ZARA trousers that has been worn only once in the past 5 years. I confess being a forgetful dresser, I buy things and forget about them, until one day I decide to go on a shopping ban and rediscover the long lost items in my closet. If it wouldn’t have been for the ban, I would have never worn it and eventually gotten rid of it. THANKS to the ban again….I really need to start keeping track of my purchases and start putting them to optimum use.
Another confession coming from me to you – the shopping ban which supposedly was going to last for 52 days came to a willful end after 35 ~~long~~ days. I know I couldn’t hold upto the expected shopping hiatus deadline, but the 35 days self-control still makes me a winner. Atleast I am convinced that the next time I take up a no shopping challenge, I will be more determined and will hold strong till the very end…A PROMISE MADE TO MYSELF !!!!
