Quote Of The Day #77

Quote Of The Day:

martin luther king jr quote about equality

Todays quote of the day is by Martin Luther King Jr since it’s Martin Luther King Jr day. I’ve had the privilege of learning a lot about him and other activists from this period of time. If that’s something you’ve never read about I would really recommend rectifying that.

What’s Up With Me?

I promised you guys that I would keep you in the loop with my cousin sisters wedding and so here is a picture from the bridal shower I attended on Saturday.

It looked really lovely since the decorations were great. But unfortunately, the dress code was pink and white dresses only. Now you guys know me pretty well, and I hope by now you know that I would rather die than own a pink or white dress. That’s not my style. I don’t even wear pink or white that much at all. And if I do it’s always with black or darker colours. I feel like dark colours just make me look so much better. So, I ended up wearing a pink-ish (peach) skirt and white top. I wasn’t going to buy a dress for a bridal shower that I would never wear again.

To be honest, the bridal shower invite was a little odd to me. I always thought it was more of a friends thing. I didn’t realise cousins were invited too.

Anyway, I hated the outfit. It sucked. I looked like a frump. BUT, the lighting was great. So much natural light, the pics would have been great had I not looked like the cousin version of a duff. DUFC?

    I think you look beautiful in those colors, Pooja! Martin Luther King was a great man, imagine what he could have done if he were alive today. God bless him and his family.

    Dress codes for a bridal shower….who knew. You don’t look frumpy at all and you photograph beautifully. Showers, as a rule, are to be showered with gifts so you invite anyone you think will bring one. My week is the same as all of them….but that’s good for me.

    If that’s the outfit, you look good in it. The pink goes well with your skin tone. Don’t be angry at me for saying so 😂 I’m not great at events like funerals or weddings (IDK why I always mentally lump those two together). I didn’t know you had to dress up for a bridal shower, either. I thought those were somewhat informal pre-wedding parties. Learn something new every day on Lifesfinewhine!

      Thanks so much. That’s just the best pic I could find lol. I definitely didn’t like the way the outfit was just because the fitting wasn’t great.
      I think they’re usually like parties but this one was a bit more formal. Still fun though!

    I think your photo looks great even though you don’t like the colors. My personal pet peeve is why planners need to have lots of pink on them. I wish they would make planners with other color schemes.

    You look good in peach. I don’t know much about the other fruit-named colors. I decided to keep a RGB code list for colors after the set of sample fruits I had on the shelf kept rotting, or I ate them before I memorized what the colors looked like. It depends on the season so my peaches don’t always look peachy.
        PEACHY KEEN. mainly US, informal — excellent.
    I don’t know; there seems to be some disagreement on meaning and usage. I only heard it once a few years ago on the radio used with sarcasm. It might be old-fashioned like some customs are.
        “Pretty In Pink” (a romantic comedy) was a movie with some controversy because the original ending(never shown) was changed. Molly Ringwald originally got the lower-class guy. But in the movie that was issued, she wins over the upper-class guy. The lower-class guy was just her friend and she rejects him.
        I wonder if injustice in movies and fashion matters.

    Dear PG i think bridal showers are to cherish the singlehood , to have better closures for all those years where we enjoyed our sole individuality and to make better embarkation into the new ventures of Couple things. Friends and offcourse friends in family (siblings) can make these things more real. Enjoy!!!

      Yeah that happens to me every couple of days and it’s super annoying. Like someone will like so many posts all of a sudden in like under a minute. I usually just ignore them and if it happens too often I block them. I don’t like people who do stuff like that for attention, if you want someone attention actually read their post and comment.

    That quote is on point. Of course, cousins go to bridal showers. Anyone who’s close to the bride is fair game, and no you did not look like a frump! Pooja you are a beautiful young lady, and you need to tell yourself that every day. Speak it until you believe it because you truly are 💕.

    You look nice. Don’t put yourself down like that. Dr. Martin Luther King was a great man. He was nonviolent. In some of the old clips they show every year, in some of them you can see him smiling. I wonder what things would be like if he were still living. He did so much, and he will always be remembered for what he did and stood for. Have a great week.

    Yes that was a good quote. MLK was a very influential man that many will remember. As for your outfit, I love pinks and peaches, and I think that you pulled the outfit of good. You look very pretty. As for what I have been doing this week, I’ve been trying to finish the first chapter of a new story for my Substack platform. For some reason getting my brain to accept how I have written the first chapter has been a struggle. I’m just not sure if I have created a good starting point with it. But anyway, enjoy the rest of your week.
