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.

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.

Mint in trend

CORAL OR MINT? Mint it was!

I still recall the child like excitement I felt when looking aubergine pants becoming the new trend. Actually picked them up in corduroy just because I was so captivated by the colour (I used to hate corduroy, I remember my brother's corduroy being as heavy as denim!).  It was instantly followed by Levis bringing in a huge wave of coloured denims. Secretly wished this would disappear like an earthworm, it did however seemed to settle on two adorable colours - Coral pink and mint green. 

I always fancied buying coral pants, I've tried them on every where. Yet I never found the right one, then I got to busy at work and life moved on. CHEMISTRY was having a SALE, yes my friend! The devil beckoned me to enter. Yet of all the pretty things they had to offer this one stuck to me like a second skin. Once I wore it, and I knew it had to be the ONE.

As for the choice of outfit itself, I should say this would be typically me. A large scarf with a basic tee, and shoes. I still remember being identified in college as the girl who wore over sized bright colour shawls (very infamously the red one :P) with the Red converse shoes.

Shoes : Bata

I know as a kid, I went to bata only for school shoes and rubber slippers. But I hate to admit it, Bata is doing well with their shoes. I don't think I still believe those shoes were @ 499! Oo and the handbags too! 

p.s. I know the pictures not done justice to the shoes.
