I recently had a perfect little weekend outing quickly turn into
an equally marvellous, but unexpected gathering. After brunch, I was out doing a
bit of shopping and we had a family friend call to see what we were up to. He
had an extended layover, so we invited him for an impromptu late lunch/early
dinner.
Most of my friends and family know that I am always making additional
stops along the way for spur of the moment visits, whether it’s me coming from a business
trip or because of extended flight delays. So it was fitting, since I am used
to spontaneous meet-ups. This was also an ideal moment to take a snapshot of some recent purchases, including this Monki dress and colour blocked brogues, both on a major sale.
I used Cortana
to see where the nearest bakery was, so that I could hurriedly pickup a French
baguette. Then, I wanted to search for something patterned, so I found this
houndstooth scarf to pair with my grey, black, and pink colour palette.
This cute printed Paris tote was on sale at Kohl’s, and it is now a
favourite little shopping accessory. It’s also quite larger than it looks. A
bottle of wine, fresh baked bread, and a few gourmet condiments (olive
tapenade, and Crème fraîche) was
all that we needed to accompany the rest of the meal, which was smoked salmon
and veggies.
I wanted to pretend that it was summer, but I just couldn’t,
so I layered this dress with denim printed leggings. Although … this dress will
surely be nice to wear alone in warmer climates—I will obviously add it to my
“versatile pieces to treasure” closet.
Do you ever deviate away from your plans for impromptu moments?

Sometimes it's fun to deviate from plans! This is one of my favourite outfits as the pink /black combination really suits you and the accessories are perfect too. As a francophile, I love the tote of course!
ein super schöner Look – und ich liebe den Paris Beutel!!!
