Chiconomical

By now everyone and their mothers have a variation of these geek glasses. While I'm always on a hunt for bigger glasses, the last few weeks have made good glasses a necessity. So when my brother offered to give me anything for Raksha Bandhan(yay!! cue bed jumping joy!), I jumped on the chance to get a new pair of peepers! First off, THANKS a million bro!! They've made long hours in the lab much more bearable (read now changed to various states of sleep deprived, minus the creepy red eyes).








The other new bit is the twirly skirt. When I laid hands on my Jabong shopping goodies (read my shopping review here) one look at this skirt and I knew it was going to be a geek chic outfit. I feel this look could be excellent for a casual date lunch(also where I casually show off how nerdy I truly am!). I added a bit of color to the outfit with my new blingy blue bag that was gifted by my cousin when she came down to India. The skirt is a perfect blend of flirty and feminine and can be worn in many different ways. Overall, a very versatile piece to have in your closet.

PS: Just like the previous post, a quick reminder that the Jabong.com team was kind enough to provide me with a shopping voucher for Rs. 500 for my review. All views in this post as well as the previous one are unbiased and my own.

Hello middle of the week. I can't believe how crazy its been lately. It seems that this week doesn't wanna end anytime soon. I'm seriously sleep deprived and still have a long way to go before I can celebrate the long weekend.

If you notice the pictures carefully, you'll realise, this is more of a later-post. I wore this outfit sometime before navratri, but somehow, never managed to feature it. So here it is. I love love love this dress. More than that, I love the sentiment behind it. I absolutely adore the dear friend who gifted it to me. (Not to mention managed to handle all the crazy 'I can't find anything' rants!). Thank you soo much!! You know who you are! ;)









While this dress has featured once before on the blog (It was masquerading as a skirt back then) I have a few issues with the fit. So what do you do when you're too lazy to alter clothes, layer it with a scarf!! Oh yea, I can be lazy when I have about 10 assignments to be completed with unrealistic deadlines. Add a charm bracelet, flats and your ready to hop out of the house in a matter of seconds. No extra Glam-up required, thank you very much!

Do you still adore peplums? How do you deal with little alteration errors your simply too lazy to deal with? Talk to me in the comments below. Or join the conversation on facebook!!

Yes. I know this isn't really green in the true sense. But there was a slight confusion over the colors for the day. So I decided to wear something that would appease all part involved. Also, I'm currently in a rush since I'm (can you believe it?) going dancing! So this post has to be short!

This dress belongs to one of my very stylish cousins who is always on trend with her Indian wear. She passed this on to me after her marriage and I've treasured it over the years. I added the earrings and bangles (how cool are they!) and wore my glasses because my eyes basically kept spitting out my lenses. I still love how 'Indian geek' this looks! :P

So its been about ten days of madness and I haven't been able to do anything other than think and breathe medicines and hospitals. This little outfit is what I wore last week when my mom was in the hospital and I was busy running errands. Denim is the easiest thing to wear when you don't know your work hours, and when its a denim overall, its totally awesome. Read, no need to look for a matching top!! Sold!!

I also think this is a cool way to welcome autumn, okay...erm...its still raining here so technically, its still summer/monsoon down here, but, a girl can hope right? I paired this with a simple crop top and heels. Although I have to be honest, these had come off in a couple of hours and were replaced by my trusty kicks.

Denim+Denim = more Denim!!!
Denim is the most commonly worn item in India. Walk down any street in my city, and your bound to spot atleast 3-4 people in various denim and denim-y variations. Of course, like any self respecting girl, I have a closet with a few dozen variations of denim jeans but this is my very first denim shirt. Okay, maybe not. Well...lets try that again, this is my very first denim shirt- bought by me! (remember the shopping haul from here)




I love the tie-n-dye effect of this shirt. Although I bought it off the street, its surprisingly good quality and is fast becoming a go to shirt in my closet. I tied it in a knot because I wanted to keep the look casual. Glasses because my eyes tend to reject my lenses out after 12 hour long days at the Uni. The spiked necklace is worn so much I'm shocked I don't have previous posts to link it to!

Have you ever stood in front of your wardrobe, and said,
 'What if I wear this dress today?' then thought,
'But I just wore it last week (I blog now, so I can't even pretend otherwise, there's hard proof!).'
'Oh, but your not Richie Rich rich are you now? So obviously your going to repeat clothes! Duh!'
'Yes, but....'
'No buts, just put it on and get on with your life!'
'Oh awrite.....maybe I can add a few new accessories and make it look different?' (with a puppy face)
'Lol! Remember your finances, you spend most of it on 'education' and associated expenses now!' (crushed)
'Come on....it can't be that bad can it?'
'Lets see, the shoes, the food, the books, the new folders, the 'I can't walk to the train station in the rain' cabs, the expensive shampoo, ....'
'Those are basic necessities, you can't live without washing hair now can you, and I didn't wanna get drenched!'
'....and the little trip with friends, the train shopping, the new pencil case, the street shopping with three shirts...'
'Waiiit!!! That shirt, what if, I wear the striped shirt I got last month!'
'You could.... but the denims you wear it with are in the wash, most of the clothes need to be ironed, and your already running late!' (oops!)
'Well....what if....'

And that's basically how the conversation goes on and on and on. Today's outfit is a result of one of these monologues full of ifs and buts and maybes.







Of course I had no time to do my hair after all the intense debate, so my hair looks like a bush in all the pictures and I'm wearing my glasses since putting on lenses would make me even more late.(Why do I talk so much!?) What do you think of today's outfit? Talk to me in the comments below and let me know what you think and also if you have any such debates with yourself (or maybe I'm the only crazy one!).

Flowers on my clothes always seem to remind me of flowy curtains or motherly bedsheets. I've never been a big fan of them on my clothes. The fact that I even bought a pair of shorts that had flowers on them is surprising to me. Frankly, I couldn't resist how soft and comfy they looked and since I was stocking up for summer in the midst of a surprising cold spell, I guess it was a case of wishful thinking.

Boy am I glad I bought these! They've filled a major void in my wardrobe. They're printed, a decent length, comfy, fitted, oh, and they're from Asos. I wear them all the time when I'm home and they've been through the washer a few times already, without any damage to the print. Definite plus for me!
