You see, to be able to stock my fridge and satisfy everybody's need and try to save realistically at the same time (I am not allowing myself to be robbed by some of these stores, no way!) I have to visit 2-3 stores in one outing. Don't get me wrong, I love this city but the inconsistency of the stuff found here is appalling! Therefore I had to visit many stores in order to find the things I need for the house. One store sells good vegetables but bad salad, I mean dead! The other is reasonably priced but has limited choices of dairy product. Another has the best cut of meat but skinny chicken and it goes on and on...
Therefore on my grocery day, I would be running around like the headless chicken in the quest to see some smiling faces around the table. Thank God for Captain who insists that I drag him along every time.

Smart-lah the scarf. But OMG, you bring Alexa for grocery shopping?? I think MoE must be in the list then? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHehehe.. Carrefour la, Cik R, together with Union and Park and Shop. Scarf lawa kan? Murah je.. :)
DeleteGreat Outfit ,love the Scarf!

I really like the crisp, cool whites with that colorful scarf! Perfect for surviving the heat, and chilly frozen foods section simultaneously. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and purse. Wow - grocery shopping sounds like a whole day affair for you. It was like that for me when I lived in NYC. Chicago has huuuuge groceries stores with aisle after aisle. It's almost ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky! I wish.. it's important for me to put something decent on the table.. well, we try our best :)
DeleteThis is a great outfit for summer! I think you can still carry your speedy 25 ;) Our grocery stores in the US have nothing but large aisles! It's insane.
ReplyDeleteThat floral scarf is so chic and adds the perfect touch of color to this look. And re: your grocery shopping needs...WOW! That sounds insane. Here in NYC it's one stop shopping for me...even if I don't find exactly what I need, that's all I'd be able to bear!

love how the scarf adds a splash of color to your minimal look! You look gorg!

I wonder how many hours you spend on grocery shopping
ReplyDeletebecause you have to visit more than one store in one outing
and good to know how gentleman captain is!
I like the outfit, darling! It looks so comfy and perfect outfit for a
sunny Dubai.

lovely scarf <3
ReplyDeleteI LOVE white on white and this is simple, sophisticated and smart. Gorgeous as usual!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with future grocery outings - my husband's schedule limits how often he can come with me, so it's usually just me lugging around all three boys that are less than eager to be grocery shopping with me!
Same with my boys.. not eager at all!
DeleteI love that scarf. I have to do the same thing for grocery shopping too! Maybe it's because I'm too picky...haha.

Great outfit especially for the weather and grocery shopping- I feel your pain! I am always shocked at how some of the grocery stores carry such poor quality products and get away with the selling price!

A pretty simple ensemble of white tee and pants made special by the addition of that gorgeous scarf and the pretty gold cuff! Great!
ReplyDeleteIt's the same here! Some grocers carry good fresh produce but the meats are not great! Some have the herbs I want but nothing else... on an on it goes so we visit 2-3 markets to stock up for the week!
Have a lovely day my dear friend!

Lovely scarf. You look quite stylish for a grocery shopping but that makes the trip a bit more fun and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteSo grateful my grocery store is decent and i dont have to run 10 other places to get everything on the list. That sounds exhausting having to go from store to store. Let alone just going to one store, i have enough trouble..lol.
love the scarf and your mulberry - such a classic :)
