Rains bring alive romance and our fashion sense is in many ways influenced by romance!
However,the greatest irony of all time is that rains and fashion share an inversely proportional relationship with one another!
So,the heavier the rains the less likely it is that you'd even be keen to flaunt your favorite apparel or that chic outfit from your wardrobe on an outdoor rendezvous! And remote are the chances of you venturing out of your house all dressed up even if a tempting monsoon sale of fashion goods underway in your city! (Psst..men must be thanking the monsoons for keeping their girlfriends/spouses away from shopping and saving them the heartache of a depleting bank balance! :-) )
And as for not planning on some outdoor activities particularly when it's raining...I don't blame you for that! It's more to do with the psychosis of 'rain-fear' that has gotten the better of us over the years!
The coming of rains simply implies...
a. I can't go out. Period.
b. I can't wear my favorite outfit...what if a passing vehicle splashes muck on it?
c. What a pity...I can't wear those new pair of sandals I purchased! What if I put my feet in a pool of muddy water?
d. Or what if my heels and sole begin to crack due to constant exposure to water?
e. Why should I take the pains to accessorize my overall look when no one is even gonna see?
f. What's the point of looking good in the first place when at the end of the day I am going to look all messed up?
g. What's the fun going shopping with my girl-friends when rains are going to play spoil-sport to all the plans I have made for the day?
Phew...the list of 'can't', 'why' and 'what' never ceases to be! Rains may have just begun but the showers of excuses are many!
