Monday blues

Blue on Monday

We all have our own personal feeling for Mondays! I used to love Mondays when I worked in retail. The most brainless day of the week, Least number of customers (managers day off!), Half the store staff is on their weekly offs. it used to be a vacation at work! I guess the time for that is over. When you choose to work for yourself (finally!) Monday is that day of work your dragged to, Because you start discovering so many responsibilities you didn't know exist. Do you still get the opportunity to dress up to work? Ya maybe a little bit enough to make you happy, and a lot more enough to be practically convenient when you know you don't have meetings for the day.

However keeping in mind fully, how fat I've grown I guess being lethargically is excusable. Or not, who knows! I decide to wear full black, yet the unsettling felling of gloominess needed a blue denim shirt as a cover up (instead of a heavy jacket) and pink socks with floral print sneakers. Oh ya, now It felt done.

SALE! season

SALE comes every season for a reason!

I hate going for sales! But honestly at F21 it feels like a sale everyday. I've never seen that store maintained, Sale or no sale. It's a sea of cloths to go through and nothing fits right :( I was in no mood to drive all the way to Zara, simply because their stores are in malls so far away in no mans land. Yes you guessed it right! for someone who grew up in a city its nice to go to the center of the city where you can do all types of shopping, where I can pick up both branded and street side things :) 

Now I'm not saying I won't go to Zara, and I did eventually end up at the Zara sale! It's just that at the start of the sale season I was at F21. Like always I made 5 rounds around the store, I tried on twenty outfits and discarded most because of the fit. Finally like always the first pick is the right pick and I couldn't let go of the top. But like always no matter what you buy at a sale we have to end up buying something non discounted, and I found those denims with the back zipper which were so cool. So I just gave up hunting through the merchandise when I realized I have an awesome pairing. I know I'm being exhausting describing my shopping adventure but it doesn't stop there, see my favorite accessory brand was on sale too. ALDO was on sale and something about their accessories just make me so happy. Picked up 2 sunglasses, an eternal weakness laid to rest.

denim's not such a bad thing

I know my previous post will make you wonder what changed my mind? But I really haven't. I'm just against the mass culture of denim and tee shirt. Denim is not only used in jeans, its also used to make dresses, jackets, jumpsuits, and so on so forth.....

I still remember the first denim outfit I got was obviously a jeans, it was at the time when faded denims were in style. But the first denim outfit I fell in love with was a indigo denim shirt dress. I never got to wear it much because to the Indian standards it was a short dress. I always had a lot of jackets growing up, I had one denim jacket which was electric blue :) ( And you think the trend for bright colours is recent!) technically my brother's but he never really used it so I called it mine. one of my favourite was an oversized blue jacket with a brown wash, looked like it had been dragged through the dirt!

Wear your jacket over a printed floral dress, try your jeans with a blazer and bright pair of stilettos, or wear the waistcoat with your denim shorts. It is still the most rugged outfit in your wardrobe play with it, don't worry it won't get hurt. 

the thing about jeans

Do you ever feel you can’t live without your jeans? Do you have so many jeans that after a point they all start looking the same? Do you really feel like you could live in your jeans forever and ever?

Here’s the thing about jeans, it must be the greatest creation ever in the history of fashion, and also the biggest enemy of the real fashion.  Jeans is the only trouser that individually is the most highly promoted, most worn, most idolised outfit in the world.  Do you know that the denim used to make your jeans is the cheapest fabric ever made in the world! Also the most easily coloured.

Jeans is a trend that will never be out of the market, it is an outfit that is a must have is your wardrobe. So, now the trend for flare pants is moving out let’s give them a slim fit, oh no! Let’s make it the skinny fit! Believe me ladies the jeans pant is you worst enemy, and yet have you ever wondered what makes it such a wonder pant? Have you ever met someone who has never had jeans in their wardrobe? Even my dad has one even though he rarely ever wears it.

 Why is it we can’t live without jeans in our wardrobe?
