What to wear? | But I Smile Anyway...

It’s exciting!

The ABBA’s are around the corner!

Who will I get to meet again? Who will I meet for the first time?

What will I wear??

Well, I managed to solve that one already!

I placed an order for some business cards… get me! All professional, like!

And then I ended up with a Personalised tee-shirt too!

And there was the offer of a personalised card holder… couldn’t resist!

That’s me sorted! I can mingle, chat and network at the same time!

Cards AND tee-shirt, woohoo!

Now, it’s a great tee and all that, but I’m more of a v-neck gal, and there wasn’t the option to buy v-neck. I am also not really a sewer, so after a virtual trip to YouTube, I made my own!

Excuse the creases but yay! I like it much better now!

And not to be selfish, the cat got the box!

What To Wear To a Wedding?

I had some real trouble trying to decide on an outfit for yesterday’s wedding.

My biggest problem which you all know of, was that I couldn’t fit into most of my outfits, due to that middle-aged spread, that has crept up on me rather slowly!

The other was do I wear red or not? Red is the traditional bridal colour in Indian weddings. I have not been one to wear red ever, in fact, I didn’t even wear red on my own wedding! But my Mother-in-law had bought me a beautiful outfit, complete with matching Punjabi Joothi or Traditional Punjabi shoes, and bangles to complement the outfit. The little bells on the shoes tinkled lightly as I walked, and I confused poor Sonu Singh royally as he is the only one to wear a bell usually, so he was intrigued as to where the sound was coming from!

My Punjabi Joothi!

I had to have it altered, so I could breathe in it, and the decision was made. Red it was. There were a couple of others wearing red, so I wouldn’t stand out too much!
