I'm baaaaccckk!!!
I feel like I haven't blogged for weeks although in reality it's only been 3 days, 21 hours and 13 minutes. But who's counting?
I'm not sure if you've noticed (or if I've mentioned it previously) but I have a thing for belts because of the cinching effect they provide. I've always envied the curvier woman and so any chance to create the illusion of curves is always welcome. The fullness of this white cotton skirt slightly exaggerates my hips which means we've got a winner here ;) And of course I couldn't help but add a belt to emphasise my waist.
Lucky are ye with beautiful curves, believe me.

Pastel nail polish, anyone?
There are skirts that are perfect for going twirl-crazy.
And then there are skirts that aren't..unless you're into flashing your badonkadonk.
This is definitely the latter.
I've decided that for the whole of this week I'm going to wear skirts. And blog about it too. Which means someone needs to work on their time management, amongst a whole lot of other things.
I find that these days I can't finish one thing without doing at least two other things at the same time. Like if I decide to watch a movie in the evening, I'll have to be doing my nails or putting together my to-do list for the next day while the movie is on.. Which means that half the time I'm not too sure how good that movie was and if I enjoyed it much.
I also find that I start things and before finishing them I'm onto the next one. Just the other night I started putting together a work report, then I decided to stop and have dinner while watching some show (which I didn't finish), figured I should respond to emails afterwards, then went back to the report, and then tried to finish the show later that night.. How in the world am I supposed to get anything done at this rate???
I don't think I always used to be like this and I'm pretty certain that for the most part, technology is to blame! And yes, this is me trying to pin my haphazard, inefficient ways on a computer, cellphone and the internet. Especially the internet. I mean who in this day and age still works with only one tab open?? Whoever created the ever exciting online world was just trying to set me up for failure - that's all I'm saying here.
I've challenged myself to be the most efficient, productive, focused me I can be and I've got this week to see how well it goes. Ideally, this means that I should stick to my word and be able to put up at least one post a day (wow, even as I'm sitting here typing this I just had the urge to put my laptop away and charge Binti! Boy is this stick-to-one-thing-until-it's-finished mission going to be difficult.)
Do you have the same problem?
Someone should create a pill to help with this.
yessss!!I'm the exact same way! And it doesn't help that I have such a short attention span...lol. Speaking of which, I should be studying for an exam right now...just stopped by to say you look pretty, as always. Have a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteSTUDY! STUDY! STUDY!
DeleteThen come back when you're done :)
Beautiful day Carol!
xx
i also do the thing where i watch a movie or a TV show whilst doing my nails..hehehe. anyway love the skirt,the jewelry.heck i love every piece you have worn today..have a good one:))))))
DeleteWe need to break this bad habit.. Not efficient at all!
DeleteThanks and have a lovely day too :)
I do the same when watching a movie my bf hates it...and the not finishing things even includes movies I always fall asleep except when I'm at cinemas.
DeleteHi Ess... Pastel me where you bought your nail polish???? I have been searching HIGH and LOW for pastel colors!!
ReplyDeleteHey Peps!
DeleteThe pink is Nubar in Baby Pink and the blue is Nubar in Baby Blue both of which I got from South Africa. The mustard yellow is B.O #10 and the mint green is B.O. #12 both of which I got from Marjory Simon (a Kenyan selling cosmetics and jewellery online). Check out the site here:

I'm actually going to be blogging about their nail polish soon!
Hi Peps.
DeleteYou like?! This particular set comes in 10 of the yummiest pastels. I'm yet to post them though (Ess managed to get a hold of them beforehand). Will update you when they go up. In the meantime, you're most welcome to have a look around.
Cheers!
Thank you Ess & Marjory Simon ... I LIKE ALOT!! I will definitely keep in wait for that yummy yummy set. i did have a look at your website.
DeleteI love your belt! Even scrolled back to the pic where you list the items and you forgot it ...it was my best piece in an awesome outfit!
ReplyDeleteAs for the multi-tasking, suffice to say you're not alone in the texting/nail varnishing/movie watching at same time universe. Right now I have 3 windows running with no less than 8 tabs to each! Clearly I need to get a grip on this. Maybe I do that 21 day habit forming thing?
Oh my bad, it's actually my mum's and I think she got it from Toi. She has a thing for belts and keeps collecting them!
DeleteI think the 21 day schedule sounds like a plan - having more than 24 tabs running is a whole other level!
i love everything especially the earrings and shoes.... everything actually.
ReplyDeleteas for multitasking... I try to do things before the microwave beeps!! I guess its a girls thing....
Love your blog, makes me wana be fashionistic everyday..
I think everyone tries to do that microwave mission impossible thing - boys included!
DeleteGlad to have been of help Betsy :)
Lovely pics!I like the twirl. So girly and fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteTwirls rock.
Hi, I love your outfit, especially the little details like the nail polish and jewellery.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower, bumped onto your blog on Facebook. I also have a blog and a full-time job so I have learnt how to multi-task. It's the only way I'll get everything done on time and have something of a social life. But I try to complete one task at a time although it's a constant battle.

Thanks Audrey!
DeleteI must learn to be better at managing my time and seeing things through before it catches up with me..
this is me at the moment: Excel sheets- 17, email- 20, word- 3 documents, internet-4. I'm embarassed
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks great as well!
Oh man, this is bad. You're in trouble Kerry!
DeleteThanks :)
Kerry --- just make sure you don't crash your computer?? That's way too much going on.

ReplyDeleteawww what a kind thing to say! I'll try minimise my disappearing acts from now on.
DeleteHope you're having a great week so far :)
xx
am like that too! all over the place sigh its like major ADD!!lol love the nail polish :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll be blogging about some of the nail polishes soon!
DeleteIt seems we're a few of us with the same problem :/
I thought it was just me- internet, whilst watching some series, whilst reading a book and listening to radio. All at once. Ridic. So good to know i have company. And yes, it's the internet's fault mainly. Yet if the internet were to die, the withdrawal symptoms experienced by Americans in that Southpark death of internet episode wouldn't begin to compare to my depression.
ReplyDelete10 points for the Southpark reference!
DeleteHaha, I have never watched South Park and yet I still laughed at the reference..
DeletePesh -I'm on a mission to look for that particular episode!
Kingsley - I still get dumbfounded whenever I see you on here.
Ehem! Pictures by??? :D
ReplyDeleteYouuuu!
DeleteSooo cute! Nd I love the accessories! :)
ReplyDeletethis outfit is gorgeous, love the skirt
