thrift shop sale!

So! there are so many random things about this style that I want to say. Yet the truth is we all know the feeling of having something in the wardrobe that we are dying to wear even though we feel it's not yet time for it to be worn. I honestly wore the outfit purely for the top. I remember at work when we received Joseph and Willow (it was SS'13 I think) in the bright pinks, fiery oranges and neon yellows, I was dying to get my hands on the colour too. The idea of finding that colour in a Georgette eluded my mind and I never bothered to find anything like it.

So, I think all you spree shoppers would know the feeling when you come across a style you never thought you would find. What made it better was I found it in a thrift shop on sale! The back of my head was screaming help (I was actually looking for shoes), normal anxiety response is fight or flight but my heart and the rest of my whole self refused to listen. I hate to admit it but I probably wouldn't wear this combination again. I'd trade the jeans for a black leggings and the heels for my pale gold kolhapuries, Not just because it's more comfortable but also because I have the tendency to Indianize every thing I wear in every small way possible, when the opportunity is right.

I should say for a thrift shop buy the top's pretty good. the georgette is soft, light and sits well on the body.

I dote on this necklace, it's delicate and bold in it's own way. Every time I wear the necklace, it brightens up my day. With a trend for statement neck pieces, this one's drawn it's own bag full of compliments. 

The cuff I must say is a kind of basic must have if you someone who likes to wear cuffs.Its also not pricey and available almost every where. 

My brown leather stilettos are a classic, you can't go wrong with something like that. It's the best I've had when it comes to wearing heels to work or day wear.

Flea market buys #1

Why we all should go flea market shopping?

So flea markets, exhibitions, bazaars, and any type of events used to make a account for quite a bit of my family entertainment when I was a kid. I even got lost in one of them, one of my most amusing childhood memories of trying to be Sherlock! Ah forgive me, I could go on and on about those memories. But in the recent past we've all see a rise in the number of flee markets hosted in the city, especially targeting youngsters like us who like to do cheap shopping, fancy food and drinks, with a live band playing in the background.

Flee markets can be annoying most of the times, but there will be that one thing that you will find that will brighten up your whole day. Likewise I can never forget that day, my car lost a bumper (never mind that story) it was the first time I meet my best friends boyfriend (Ewwww) and the heat and dust of palace grounds was killing me! Yet what made my day was finding that dress :) 

We all know solids can make a statement in itself, but those who know me also know grey no matter which shade would be too dull for my nature. The accessories light up the effect of the dress, Never forget your accessories can make or break an outfit. p.s. this is something I would typically wear while thrift shopping or going out with my friends. With a jacket and heels I could even wear the dress to work!

The day eveything went wrong

Well Kavya's trippy location was a bust (sorry hon, next time a better outfit), and some how I keep forgetting that I'm not as lean as I used to be before. It's quite depressing when you don't fit into majority of you wardrobe favourites. Yet some how I still try to pull my new ones with the old and pacify myself. Also I love ponytails yet repeatedly forget my XL sized forehead is creepy, and those pretty red booties were hidden by my boot cut denims. But I still deserve a pat on my shoulder for salvaging whats left of the pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

It's like I knew some thing was to get capsized when I left the house. Practice makes perfect and I have to keep doing it until I perfect the art of dressing, I was an obsessive habit I've gained working @ Ffolio. Makes life very interesting.

Mint in trend

CORAL OR MINT? Mint it was!

I still recall the child like excitement I felt when looking aubergine pants becoming the new trend. Actually picked them up in corduroy just because I was so captivated by the colour (I used to hate corduroy, I remember my brother's corduroy being as heavy as denim!).  It was instantly followed by Levis bringing in a huge wave of coloured denims. Secretly wished this would disappear like an earthworm, it did however seemed to settle on two adorable colours - Coral pink and mint green. 

I always fancied buying coral pants, I've tried them on every where. Yet I never found the right one, then I got to busy at work and life moved on. CHEMISTRY was having a SALE, yes my friend! The devil beckoned me to enter. Yet of all the pretty things they had to offer this one stuck to me like a second skin. Once I wore it, and I knew it had to be the ONE.

As for the choice of outfit itself, I should say this would be typically me. A large scarf with a basic tee, and shoes. I still remember being identified in college as the girl who wore over sized bright colour shawls (very infamously the red one :P) with the Red converse shoes.

Shoes : Bata

I know as a kid, I went to bata only for school shoes and rubber slippers. But I hate to admit it, Bata is doing well with their shoes. I don't think I still believe those shoes were @ 499! Oo and the handbags too! 

p.s. I know the pictures not done justice to the shoes.

gift wrapping #2

Lenny's wedding gift

Lenny and Eddie are both very special to me. Well len's just that one person I've learnt from a lot, the best thing I would say about her is her strength of charater! Well Eddie I think Lenny and almost everyone knows why your so special to me!

Well len when you were about to have the most perfect wedding I had to make sure I gave you the best looking gift too! Of course I'm the best at gift packing, but I've never made a bow. So I sat for a really long time staring a YouTube videos to make sure it comes right. I know some would call it messed up, but I'm bored of the same old cliché bow n you have to admit the fat bow is kinda cute.

I know the purple packaging and gold stars makes it look like a packet jumped out of Hogwarts but honestly that just randomly came together like that. I was just trying to look like me, I guess! when randomly contrasting things come together they make something happy.
