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 :)

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.
