Shopping season : White dress

Shopping season

You know that decision you been wanting to take for a long time, but it just keeps taking a back seat because it is too bold to deal with. Yes! I got a new hair cut. I kept complaining that I had a big forehead so Sid said get Naomi bangs done. But now that it is finally done and it's been almost more than a month, I still find it too bizarre even for my own style. 

It's been shopping season, first Christmas then new year and now all the sale! The main reason I went on a shopping spree at Forever21 this season was because they have just launched their store in Bangalore. Yes please, it is a little bit of F21 overload, But hey the out come was kinda cute. I know those boots again! I guess winter is the only time I get to were my boots everyday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Khaki or mustard? You decide

Easy Peasy

So it's been a while, but when I took these pictures they were just some test shots. I don't think I've figured out how to wear this shade of khaki, Its not a muted tone yet it is really bright and striking. Ok I know at this point you would think the mad cat took off. But there is something about this pant that I've not been able to put my finger on.

I know I'm saying khaki but it's really a shade of mustard, Yet I say khaki probably because the cat in my head is running in circles. It's been a while since I bought the pants, But I never seemed to figure out the colour. Hence never seemed to pair it with anything. Then one final day when I was staring into my wardrobe feeling like there is nothing to wear, I pulled out the pant and paired it with a cream top. Unhappy as always I pulled out all the black and whites only to end up with such a no fuss kinda ensemble! I've been very fussy when it came to buying floral print but this shirt seemed to ace my happiness!

After so many years of having extra long hair I'm so grateful to be able to make a bun ;) Forgive my childish excitement but I had to show off my first attempt at the bun. I'm still feeling like this post is an illusion, I was just up to my randomness when I took these pictures, the pairing came together like bread and butter. Hope you like the idea!
