Neon

She's always buzzing just like Neon, Neon, Neon


I know I've expressed my dislike for jeans many times before but I've been hording cloths in my wardrobe waiting for a sunny day to wear some of them. That stupid fear of wearing a good outfit for the wrong occasion. When my friend so graciously requested my presence at the filming of her music video I was so flustered about what to wear. She kept saying come formally dressed! Oh gosh! of all the things people say. But I said hey! Not like it really meant anything because it was happening @ urban solace, now for such an amazing place how could anyone wear formals. 

So finally when I opened my over cluttered wardrobe and found my neon top, I just had to wear it. There was something about the colour, I still remember the first time I saw a bunch of neon garments on one rail. That was a while back when I still worked for Maison, It was the happiest rail in the store. Of course I lied when I told everyone I could never carry it off. So When I found this @ soul sante I grabbed it with both hands.

So it took me a few more seconds to decide what to wear it with, naturally with the insufficient time at hand I chose to wear it with my skinny jeans and pumps (I know it such a typical cliche). So I paired it with a printed belt and over-sized clutch, also that ring I've been wearing to work almost every day. Amen! I was done...

Boots

These Boots are made for walking...


I love my boots. Makes me feel exotic, sensuous, super strong! Every girl loves her boots. Don't you? I know I wore this outfit only for the boots. There is something about  Knee length boots that make you feel tall (though mine could have been a little longer), or maybe they make us look stronger, either way there is something about the boots that has attracted women to them. Can you seriously name one super star that hasn't  worn a pair of boots in their career?

Wait I think all the things said before came from a pre-conditioning from the pop culture. What is the need to put women in boots all the time? Honestly I wear my boots for functional reasons. I live in a city where it gets really cold, also the monsoon makes the whole city murky and muddy, I think wearing boots makes my feet warmer, protecting it from the cold and rain. I remember my first pair of boots were the converse red canvas boots. I wore them every day until the sole got holes and that made my socks get wet. The worse day of my life was when I had to discard them (they were my prized possession!) 

Boots are an extremely good accessory, you get used to it's protection and you will never give them up like an addiction. Also it makes a very bold accessory! I'm not just saying to satisfy my pre-conditioning. I've always been amused by knee length boots and how they make your legs look never ending.
