Chiconomical

January always bring with it, lots of parties and while we all love to dress up, everyone has those days when you simply can't be bothered with the fuss of wearing pretty dresses and wanna wear your old favorite denims and still look chic. Well, I feel the same (always) and that's how I came up with today's look.


For this look I paired my denims with a simple peplum top. I think every girl should have a nice peplum top in her wardrobe. This is one style that suits practically everyone and instantly upgrads your look. Add a jacket for those cold walks back home and a nice pair of heels and you're all set. A simple, no fuss look that can be put together in minutes. Oh, and if all else fails, you can always fall back on the classic red lip. Trust me, everything is better with red lipstick.

Quick Tips to Wear Denims to A Party:

• Easiest way to upstyle a pair of denims is to wear it with a fun top. I'd say go for a beaded or sequined top and keep the rest of it simple.
• Not a sequins girl? Wear a simple tee and then a bright jacket for a no fuss but fun look. 
• A simple solid colored tshirt, jeans and a statment necklace are all one needs for a casual party. Add a pair of heels for extra oomph. 
• Running late and don't have time for all of the above? Just wear bright lipstick and pull your hair up in a messy ponytail. 
• Finally, remember that what you wear isn't as important as what you are. If you're having fun, doesn't matter if you're wearing a pair of sweats! You'll still be the prettiest girl there! 

Okay! No, I haven't completely lost it. Its the 'New year' (Saal Mubarak == Happy New Year) according to our traditions. The tradition in my house says I should wear all my new clothes and go seek blessings from my elders...and that's exactly what I did today.

If you follow me on Facebook  or Instagram (and if not they why????) you know that I had a little dilemma about what to wear. Contrary to what everyone suggested, I ended up listening to my mum (the only person in favor of my outfit) and wore this custom made kurta and churidar set that was gifted to me by my uncle and his family.






While I was slightly unhappy with the absence of visible neckline (I'm mildly obsessed with my collarbones) I still like how the outfit looks. As for the other choice, oh, I might just wear it tomorrow (there's one more day of festivity left you know!), provided I can finish a couple of assignments before I have to leave to for a family function.

Currently, I'm bedridden, trying to study for my tests and not faint at the same time! However, this little mail that dropped in my Inbox made me smile. Guess I'm doing something right, Right?!

Cool girls wear coral. That's what I seem to be thinking these days. I've got a few coral pieces in my wardrobe, but these trousers are by far my favorite. They've been in my wardrobe for a few years now, and have been worn to death. The hem's a little ruined now, but I still wear them all the time!

I love wearing simple outfits with a bit of oomph. A jeans and t-shirt combo can be lifted to newer heights by simply adding an element of interest such as a pretty necklace, or belt or statement bag. In my opinion, you don't need to do a complete overhaul of your wardrobe to remain fresh each season.

I wore this typical tee and jeans combo to college today, and let me tell you, just adding a statement necklace meant that my outfit was the talk of the town (erm...okay, maybe just my class). I was even told the necklace made me look like I was wearing some Egyptian lady! Lol!!

Red is one of those colours that never goes out of style. Its also one of the colors in my closet that instantly makes me feel more confident. So when I was hunting for a new way to wear this skirt (remember I'd worn it here) I figured, why not wear all red? Now I've always secretly imagined what it would feel like to wear a red gown and strut down a red carpet, a la Rihanna at the Grammys but I don't think I'm quite there yet. I mean, its not okay to wear a beautiful gown and then chicken out, stay at home, watch the award shows and eat ice-cream right? Right?

Anyway, back to my outfit, this is just a little experiment in trying to find a better way to wear my skirt. This top is a actually something I bought as beachwear and haven't been able to wear all that much simply because I feel its too boho for regular wear. However, with this skirt, its quite nice and feels more polished! Score one for me!

Can you believe it? This is my 100th post! I'm so happy I've been this consistent (more so in recent times I'l admit) and even did a little celebration with a bite-sized cupcake(Great bakery on my way home, but more on that later). No pictures of it though, it was too tempting to wait for a picture moment.

So what am I going to show you guys for my 100th blogpost? Well, as we've finally seen the sun come back with a vengeance this week, a nice little summer playsuit! Honestly, everyday I feel like I've sweat about two kilos by the time I reach Uni in the morning! So this is something I can't wait to slip into and dream about on my way back home.

Have you heard of Abba? My parents are both big fans of the group and I've grown up listening to lots of songs from the 80s and 90s. This means that I'm also a fan of the fashion trends from that era. As these have been making a comeback recently, I figured I might aswell use this as a chance to wear one of my favorite inspirations.

Midi skirts used to make me feel very frumpy. But lately, I've been fascinated with them. If paired with the right things, they can be demure yet feminine and this makes them a major plus in my book. This obviously meant I'd go online and waste spend hours going through Asos (the Indian sites didn't have anything I really fancied) looking for chic and economical midi skirts!

Here's my wishlist of midi skirts from Asos. Did I mention it's all under £30! Thank you Asos!
