maxi skirt

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.

Jacket : Westside

Camisole : Park Avenue

Just an idea #1

I've had this sarong with me for a really long time, but I've never really come around using it. For the Nth time I pulled it out of my wardrobe to figure out how to use it. The problem always is the sarong is always too large to be used as anything. The other day while fidgeting around like usual an idea came to life. But honestly I can't say the outfit as a whole looks any good. But in the right combination of clothes this could work.

Step 1: Pick up one corner of the sarong.

Step 2: Draw it around your neck

Step 3: Pick up the short ends and tie it together behind your back.

Step 4: Draw the belt around your waist

Step 5: Take the knot and tug it into the belt

Like I said it's not a outfit, it's just a DIY dressing idea that came up and I wanted to share. It would look a better on a body cocoon dress or even with a white dress. Though it is something that can be worn to work or for dinner depending on your combination of clothes and accessories. Do try it at home its fun and not so complicated.

Birthday happiness? never grows old....

"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." Eleanor Roosevelt

So what do you ask for every time your birthday comes up? Well every year I ask god to help me fine the spot in my head that people would call sanity! I think I don’t pray hard enough.  Well my birthday comes at a strange time! So I’m expected to celebrate Christmas and new years with it. That’s why December is the best time of the year for me. What I don’t get throughout the year I get it all in one huge installment. 

Well not every birthday is perfect! just like this year since I've not been working its been difficult to spend, because I have the great fear of draining my savings.( oooo not to mention I actually managed to save this year!) Well my mom got me few tops and a dress and also shoes :) , yet all together they looked mismatched! So I had to take a corrective measure. So what was the point of doing 2 years of design if I couldn't fix my self something. I couldn't help it, I've never been the girly type yet after having an overdose of MAD MEN I had to do it. I had to create something so 80's, and I fixed myself a half circular skirt. The task took me a few hours, and then I was pleased with myself.

Those are the super awesome shoes my mom gave me! I can't express the happiness I feel wearing them. Of course there is nothing like shopping with mom. Also love my dad for the super awesome rose gold watch from Tommy Hilfiger (p.s Its not in the picture) and I had to gift my pretty self something on the occasion, so I picked up the pretty pink box clutch.
