khaki shift dress

Khaki dress... all set for a relaxed day out

December is the best time of the year, no matter what we always have a 100 excuses to feel happy (no matter how broke you get at the end of it!). Well my 101 excuse is my birthday. This will be the month of shopping over load, by the end of the month I'm forced to go into a shopping detox! The dress is an awesome must have, it's not about the military green but the awesomeness of the Khadi fabric used. Honestly the outfit made no sense to me when I wore it, but along with the union jack around my neck and the boots it triggered some mean girl kinda happiness. Strangely something bought a lot of union jack inspired outfits into the market, haven't you shopaholics picked up one yet? It's every where.

Plaid Jacket

Cosy up with Plaid 

So winter is here! and it is freezing cold again. I couldn't think of a better companion to help me fight the cold. There is something about plaid, just the look of it keeps me warm. Also with this outfit I have to admit, amongst all my cloths, Van Heusen tops my choice of brands to pick from.

Breezy days in a Maxi

Maxi skirts are the easiest DIY fashion project, you just need an extra large piece of fabric and an elastic for the band and your almost done. Yes I did fall in love with the print and I had to make it a project. after a long stretch of the exhausting festive season at work and not feeling well after that, I just needed to feel good about something that instantly cheers me up. Also with the military styles being in trend it only seemed right to pick on my jacket.

the new ugly

The UGLY trend

So what is the cause for the drift from neat sharp stilettos to chunky block heels, from neat light weight jewelery to the bold over sized awkward pieces, from Persian cats to the Sphnyx cat. I really don't know! I read a whole article about it in ELLE but it failed to make any sense. Its that tread report that drew me to this tee. It looked so perfect I had to get it! Now I'm not trying to look ugly, but for someone who was a printed T-shirt teenager in the 90's this outfit came together naturally out of instinct.

Work Wear #1

Dressed up for Work @ FabIndia

It's been only 6 months since I joined FabIndia, yet for some reason my HR thinks I would make a smart trainer. yup they sent me out to give product gyan to colleagues who have been in the system longer than I had. Now planning and execution of the training was not an issue, because I've have a reputation for good presentations. But my tiny build and noisy nature makes it difficult for  people to take me seriously! so I had to dress down a lot yet look like a by product of FabIndia. It seemed like a mammoth effort at first, cause all the pairings of cloths either made me look way too ethnic Indian (not like I wouldn't be able to carry it off!) or way off beat looking too stylish for the average FabIndian. However this paring came off beautifully becausse all my colleagues complimented the way I was dressed :)

Sid once said "Nita your a drama queen that hates drama!", He was bang on! My mom always said I contradict myself. May be thats because I try to see both side of the coin at the same time. I guess thats  why I can never wear a pretty dress and look pretty. 

So I had to pair my pretty dress with some bold accessories. That necklace has been one of the best things in my wardrobe for a while, the perfect lion head with the bold chains seemed to naturally draw myself to it like a chemical reaction!

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...
