Today's outfit post is a Throwback to simpler times in my life. If that's not your cup of tea, I guess you could skip reading and go straight to the pictures. (Wait, you don't already do that do you?)

If I could turn back time, I would be listening to a little group called Aqua (does anyone remember them?) and the title is a reference to their song.

If I could turn back time, I'd be swimming with my mom on lazy afternoons, pushing and kicking to win in races with her in the pool.

If I could turn back time, you'd probably still find me in this two piece that I bought in order to look a little different, but never wore for its intended event.

I haven't really grown at all in many ways have I? I still think ice-cream is a perfectly sensible breakfast choice, I'm still very possessive about my books and hoard them like there's no tomorrow, I still swim every free chance I get, I act on impulse and get annoyed at the drop of a hat.... and I still wear the same clothes!!

Is there something called color addiction anonymous? Coz I feel I need color rehab! I've been wearing a lot of Blue lately (like you didn't notice!) and seriously need to start focusing on other colors. Somehow, I seem to be wearing exactly what my mood seems to be these days. Today's outfit was just another blue day. (A few other 'blue' outfits can be seen here, here and here)

In case you don't read my blog (why not?) you know that I've been having shoe problems lately (read the post here) and so this whole outfit was mainly based on comfort. The fact that I rather liked it in the end is an added bonus! The leggings I'm wearing are true blue vintage! They used to be my mum's and have been in her closet for a good 26 years now! Still, pretty brilliant no?

I've been having shoe problems! If  you follow me on twitter, you probably know how much of my time is spent at Uni running around doing a lot of running around. I did buy a new pair of jelly flats last month when my old ones had a rather unfortunate accident, but they turned out to be a size too small for me, causing me to have painful blisters. Not gonna be wearing them anymore. (In case you wanna buy mine, drop me a line here and we can talk details, I promise they're in great condition and have been worn about 5 times)



So coming back to my week, I've been worrying about the rains and have worn absolutely everything from beach thongs to boots to jelly flats to Uni, and my feet have almost given up. I could have worn my regular trainers, yes, but those were in dire need of serious cleaning, which I was too lazy to do. So finally, after a rather painful blister today , I decided to go buy a new shoes. Simple, black, ballet flats that will (I hope) go with everything, and not eat my feet for a snack.

Since I couldn't visit Bandra (my go to for shoes) I had to compromise and get a pair from my neighbourhood. This little shop had a surprisingly current collection of shoes and bags. Its called Sartin and its in Moksh Plaza, Borivali, worth a little look if your in the neighbourhood. Here's a look at my new flats!

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!

If your a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I've started my Masters course a couple of weeks back and I've been a full-time student at Uni (dying under coursework now). So keeping this in mind, I thought it might be nice to do a little post on what I wear to uni. Keep in mind, that there are quite a few rules to be followed while dressing here (read no short skirts, shorts or tees). Add to this the fact that its been raining like there's no sun in the world for weeks now, I have been struggling with my wardrobe. (Cue thoughts on shopping).

Friendship day is a very big deal in my city. I woke up to lots of texts from various friends wishing me and the day just went on being a typical Sunday from there. Read lazy and relaxed. I did manage to go for a walk with a couple of friends. Thank you weather for not raining on our parade. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures when I was out (well, I forgot my camera, oops!) so the outfit pictures are all at home. (Missing my best friend for a zillion reasons here)

This week has been one of the most stressful ones ever. I had to make tough life decisions, run around the country (literally) and try not to screw all of it up while sleeping for less than two hours a day. Oh, and did I mention, I've finally enrolled in college for masters which means I'l be running around town for the next two years trying to make something of myself! (Must.Not.Panic)

My outfit of choice once I had some time to celebrate breathe was something slightly festive and complete all on its own. This dress/tunic is something I picked up with a crazy shopping spree with my cousin.









All in all, I love how the beads add that extra something to this look. Do you have some shiny beaded outfits you wear when you wanna feel glam without the effort? Tell me all about them in the comments. You can also share your outfits with me now on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or Bloglovin!
