for someone who intends to just unwind and not make any plans for my long-awaited permanent vacation from the corporate world, i am failing badly at it. my mind is just built to plan and look at least 5 steps ahead. i plan when i'm driving, i plan before i go to sleep and i just plan even when i'm doing something else. ironically, i like being spontaneous when it comes to having fun like road trips in the middle of the night or just deciding to go to Bantayan island without any plans where to stay or where to eat but when it comes to making a living and making sure that i am able to support my family and survive, i simply cannot just be spontaneous about it. so when i told my manager that i do not intend to plan for the next month, oh no boss, i think i was partly lying.
here is my failed attempt to un-plan:
start planning a clothing line with Armand Alforque next week | do part-time online article writing to earn extra bucks (and learn new stuff too) | celebrate my birthday in Daanbantayan with my family | Bangkok trip with family on the 3rd week of August | invest a little in my sister's clothing shop, Props by being her shopper and wholesaler | start working as marketing executive for Drawing Board Creative Studios by September --- it's a growing advertising agency my sister and her fiance manage so at least i'll be working closely with people and meet new ones as well AND it's a day job -- yey! |
my friend and i also planned to list down ten things we haven't done in Cebu and pursue them over our vacation in August. apparently, quarter-life crisis is common among close friends so we both took leaves together. she's on a one-month leave while mine will be permanent. will update you on our list..soon!
floral dress - thrifted
mustard cardigan - thrifted
white peep-toe heels - janeo, sm dept store
vintage-y long necklaces: watch - hongkong gift shop | safety pin + trinkets - DIY
rings: orange howlite ring - dane's giveaway | burnt stone - thrifted at carbon
bangles - props and a gift from april

Really cute outfit. Love the colour of your cardi.:)SarahD
it's good to be a planner sometimes - it keeps you on track! i'm glad to see things are coming along and i'm excited to get updates over the next few months! :)
Very awesome. I'm so bad at not planning as well. I feel as if I'm running over things in my mind before I go to bed and sometimes in my dreams (haha). Those plans sound amazing!
I love the cardigan, and those shoes are amazing. :D
&& I'm guilty of being a super planner, too. Good luck on un-planning!
It's always a good skill to be a planner. Look at all the cool things you have ahead of you! :)
being a planner is not a bad thing :) i definitely know what you mean though, even though i like to be spontaneous with some things, i just can't with the biggest things like making a living! anyways, the next month or so sounds pretty exciting for you - hope everything works out!
thanks for your comment dear :) have a nice day
a really cute and summery outfit!

Love your outfit! And even if it drives you crazy, it's a really good thing your mind is always working and thinking ahead. I can get stuck in autopilot so very easily... :)
You have a lot on your plate missy! And those rings are fantastic <3
